Toni Morrison’s eulogy at James Baldwin’s funeral in Dec 1987.

The season was always Christmas with you there and … you did not neglect to bring at least three gifts… You gave me a language to dwell in, a gift so perfect it seems my own invention… . The second gift was your courage, which you let us share: the courage of one who could go as a stranger in the village and transform the distances between people into intimacy with the whole world… The third gift was hard to fathom and even harder to accept. It was your tenderness – a tenderness so delicate I thought it could not last, but last it did and envelop me it did.

You knew, didn’t you, how I needed your language and the mind that formed it? How I relied on your fierce courage to tame wildernesses for me? How strengthened I was by the certainty that came from knowing you would never hurt me? You knew, didn’t you, how I loved your love? You knew. This then is no calamity. No, This is jubilee. “Our crown,” you said, “has already been bought and paid for. All we have to do,” you said, “is wear it.”

And we do, Jimmy. You crowned us.

““Black stardom is rough, dude,” Chris Rock tells me when I reach him to talk about D. “I always say Tom Hanks is an amazing actor and Denzel Washington is a god to his people. If you’re a black ballerina, you represent the race, and you have responsibilities that go beyond your art. How dare you just be excellent?”

After Brown Sugar went platinum, Rock put D’Angelo on The Chris Rock Show. Later, when D was mixing Voodoo, Rock hung out some in the studio. No surprise, then, that the first thing out of Rock’s mouth after “Hello” is a joyful “He’s back!” But he adds a sobering downbeat: “D’Angelo. Chris Tucker. Dave Chappelle. Lauryn Hill. They all hang out on the same island. The island of What Do We Do with All This Talent? It frustrates me.””

“They all hang out on the same island. The island of What Do We Do with All This Talent?”

Dayum.

Able + Baker: Wu-Tang Clan is something to bake with

Able + Baker: Wu-Tang Clan is something to bake with:

if countries were people, then the U.S. is definitely a teenager, and Europe is retired.

ableandbakerdesign:

After traveling through Bavaria, Austria, and France for nearly a month, I thought I’d come back with plenty of Blog fodder. Between Jen and I, I’m sure we took more than 1000 photos, and there’s a story to tell, and a discovery to share for each day we were gone.

But honestly, I don’t know…
