Naked on The Grassy Knoll

In Communication, education, Griot, Music, Video on February 14, 2022 at 5:01 am

Speaking of

A Naked Erykah Badu on the grassy knoll in Dallas where President Kennedy was shot, always stirs up controversy. The video “WINDOW SEAT” is phenomenal (if you ask me) and for a plethora of reasons: Unbridled ART being #1.

Ms. Badu walks the downtown streets of Dallas towards the exact spot where President Kennedy was assassinated. During her walk she sheds her jacket, shirt, pants, bra and panties — ultimately revealing the “EVOLVING” tattoo (message) across the upper part of her back (between the shoulders). Once she reaches the approximate spot where President Kennedy was shot, we hear gunfire and a shapely NAKED Erykah Badu falls dead in the road. At that point we hear the following narration:

“THEY (playing it safe) are quick to assassinate what they do not understand.
They move in packs ingesting fear more and more with every act of hate on one another.
They feel more comfortable in groups – LESS GUILT to swallow.
They are us. This is what we’ve become: Affraid to RESPECT the Individual.
A single person within a circumstance can move one to CHANGE;
to love herself.
EVOVLE.

By-God Erykah is right! WE are THEY –collectively.

More over that, the video demonstrates Erykah being “one person within a circumstance” — a circumstance that the city of Dallas once investigated for possible copyright infringements. The investigation died on that hill after a quick YOUTUBE search showed no infringement issues with this video by MATT & KIM “Lessons Learned.”  Window Seat was created in homage to “Lessons Learned.” Blunt inspiration.

Erykah’s video was edited to have a “dated & historical feel” much like the original footage archived of President Kennedy during his visit to Dallas, TX. It worked. It’s genius. Genius in two parts, [1] by recalling history and relating it to our thwarted journeys and [2] the obvious plea found in the chorus that is still relevant and ever so necessary. Let us all give and receive in return:

“I need you to want me.
I need you miss me.
I need yo’ attention!
I need you next to me.
I need someone to clap for me.
I need yo’ direction.
Come back – Come back Baby.
Come back.”

I’m back 🙂 and I’m so glad I’ve got a WINDOW SEAT into the vision of Ms. Erykah Badu’s artsy exhibition of history and present — to date. What did you think about it?

I need your Support, I need your Love, I need your Attention,

Thursday Purse-Day

Perhaps you’re looking to clutch a high-end FERAGAMO, DOLCE, HAMMITT VIP or a COACH woman’s bag?
For if you know women and their shoes, without a matching purse, the outfit may pose a lag

to her fashion composition, so —
in this piece we’ll broach, “How To LET IT GO.”

No ma’am, don’t LET GO of that work of art by SALAVATORE.
Without which those shoes, will go from fab to chore and even, bore.

Thursday is a great day to focus on a new pair of shoes,
and fashion the purse to not be a holder of blues.

Bag-Lady-Fashion

The PURSE speaks volumes in tandem with a statement shoe.

.

Holder. Just saying the word makes me think of our former USAG.
Golden melanin, a calmer era then that yielded a surplus to we.

God bless he, as I am truly talking about an item
that could also reside in Former VP Joe Biden

and that is, the withal to be properly represent and be on point
in a global ensemble outfit that is a world joint.

You know?
What’s a woman without her clothes?

She is naked.
I won’t even fake it,

I enjoy being nude.
But to show ass or a knock-off bag is just rude.

Am I right? Therefore I write
in griot verses with pivotal insight.

I’ve no gripe, just looking for a new bag.
One that has proper lining and smells not of ball sac. 😛

You can understand that? Can’t you?
What’s in your bag? Is it yellow or blue?

Yellow is a sunny hue,
Drama is lined best in blue.

I like them both, in a shoe and a bag.
A progressive fashion sense is what I have.

It’s okay that we encompass bag hues,
just don’t ever let your bag be bigger than you,

unless it’s filled with cash.
Period.  — a MEGAN Thee STALLION bag!
Then hit me up when you get that.
