Window Seat by Erykah Badu....art vs media stunt
Soul artist Erykah Badu has recently released a new video for her album New AmErykah Pt. 2. In this video, shot at the grassy knoll, she decides to use one shot of herself walking and removing her clothes to the point of complete nudity. Many people have speculated about what she was trying to say...if anything at all. Some believe she was merely trying to spark controversy to increase sales. However, this is mainly due to the fact that the video was shot in an area considered to be sacred to most Americans. (i.e. the location of JFK's assasination) Furthermore, others argue that if she was not a black woman it would not be as constroversial. Not to mention the video was inspired by Lesssons Learned by alternative group Matt & Kim. This conversation could go on and on, but what do you think? Check it out

Simon the Cyrenian Speaks
He never spoke a word to me,
And yet He called my name;
He never gave a sign to me,
And yet I knew and came.
At first I said, "I will not bear
His cross upon my back;
He only seeks to place it there
Because my skin is black."
But He was dying for a dream,
And He was very meek,
And in His eyes there shone a gleam
Men journey far to seek.
It was Himself my pity bought;
I did for Christ alone
What all of Rome could not have wrought
With bruise of lash or stone.
