"Do what'cha like," "There's a time to laugh and a time to cry," "Fight the Power," "This night has opened my eyes, and I will never sleep again," "Ayyyy-ee-ayy-eee-ayyyy-ee-ayyy-ee-ayyyyyy," "Doo-doop-doo-rrrrrrr-eee-owwwwwww" Language is an imperfect means of expression .*.

I was listening to the radio this morning and there's a group of punk rockers that started this website Punx For Dean. http://punxfordean.org/ I know Russell Simmons is trying to get the hip hop community registered to vote. Didn't Coldcut do something political? i thought I read that they tried to start a new party, something like the Guilty Party or something. I forgot what the story was, someone told me to check their video for "revolution" attacks Blair. Can this be viewed somewhere on the web? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Has anyone heard Adem? He's one of the members of Fridge. I was just curious what the solo material is like. I think he has a few singles and his debut album comes out in march Check out some of these commercials http://www.bushin30seconds.org/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
