• Rick James, The Mynah Birds and Neil Young

  While much is known about James' "Super Freak" period, relatively little is known about the period during the 1960's when he formed a band known as the Mynah Birds with Neil Young, Goldie McJohn (later of Steppenwolf) and Bruce Palmer (later of Buffalo Springfield). The name of the band Mynah Birds was apparently a takeoff of the well known folk-rock band The Byrds.

• The Blue Notes were ultimate

  The Ultimate Blue Notes, the most attractive compilation of material by the Blue Notes at the peak of their popularity I could find, relies heavily on the Pendergrass era, but the other Blue Notes are also present enough to remind one this was a group.

• Edwards: Talk about civil rights everywhere

  The fear of squarely opposing the day-to-day racial discrimination that is still the norm is that by doing so a leader will alienate some, perhaps most, white people.

• In Memory of Michael Werikhe

  Over a decade ago, Michael Werikhe walked around the world in an effort to save the rhino, particularly the black rhino. In July of this year, poaches halved the north African white rhino's population in the wild, leaving only about 20 animals. Without a charismatic spokesperson, this rhino's plight seems destined to be buried in the news and its path toward extinction unalterable.
