Genre(s): R&B, funk, soul, disco

Yet another soul icon lost recently with the likes of Barry White, Rick James, James Brown, Ray Charles, Luther Vandross, Gerald Levert, and Michael Jackson…
Eventhough, the younger generation will probably remember him as Chef from South Park, singing about “Chocolate Salty Balls,” he will be remembered in my mind for his previous 60s, 70s soul compositions, especially the signature classic, Shaft.
Video: Shaft 2000 (including footage from the remake of the movie Shaft starring Samuel L. Jackson, Vanessa Williams, Christian Bale)
Theme From Shaft
Who’s the black private dick
That’s a sex machine to all the chicks?
SHAFT!
Ya damn right!
Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his brother man?
SHAFT!
Can you dig it?
Who’s the cat that won’t cop out
When there’s danger all about?
SHAFT!
Right On!
They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I’m talkin’ ‘bout Shaft.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!
He’s a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
JOHN SHAFT!

Director: Jeffrey Nachmanoff

Plot: When straight arrow FBI agent Roy Clayton (Guy Pearce) heads up the investigation into a dangerous international conspiracy, all clues seem to lead back to former U.S. Special Operations officer, Samir Horn (Don Cheadle)…
My Rating: **** (4 out of 5 stars)
Watched this one late last night. Good story, good action, good thriller. Can’t go wrong with Don Cheadle.
I had a bowl of Post spoon size Shredded Wheat for breakfast. It’s been years since I’ve eaten them. Got kinda soggy pretty fast. By the time I went from the refrigerator to my couch, the first bite was soft. And about 30 minutes later, the wheat is working on me. Gotta go…
P.S. This looks like a giant, uncomfortable pillow.

Want to take your girl out for some sushi? No need when you can make California SPAM Rolls at home. Might lead to some Sake Sake too, if you know what I mean. Mmm, Mmm, what else can you do with SPAM?
