• My New Hero Stephon Marbury

  Heroes 14.04.2007 No Comments

  Throughout the 2006-2007 NBA season, Stephon Marbury, of the New York Knicks, has been wearing his own branded basketball shoes on court. If you hadn’t heard, last year, Starbury released a new line of shoes and clothing with Steve and Barry’s. The whole line of shoes sell for $14.98 a pair. No lie. These fine shoes, that compare with the $150 ones that kids are getting killed for, sell for FIFTEEN BUCKS! If you’re not a hightop wearer, he also has trainers.

  

  This is the future, boys. A sports hero creating a quality footwear and clothing line that moms everywhere can reasonably afford. Marbury also pledged to give shoes to every New York City high school basketball player.

  Go Knicks!

• Fallen Voices, March and April 2007

  Heroes 13.04.2007 4 Comments

  The world has lost three great voices, in the last month.

  9 March, Brad Delp, the original singer for Boston, died of an apparent heroine overdose, [carbon monoxide poisoning from burning charcoal in his garage] just months before a summer tour and a wedding with his long-time girlfriend. Many Americans probably didn’t know his name, but it would be hard to say you never heard his voice.

  Tuesday, we lost Kurt Vonnegut, one of the 20th century’s great literary voices.

  Wednesday, we lost Roscoe Lee Browne, known for his profound speaking voice, and broad acting experience -from Shakespeare to Soap to Babe. He was also prized for books on CD/tape, because of the tone and clarity of his voice.
