Toure...you have influenced me as a writer and free thinker. Your features draw the reader into your sight and line of thought (almost immediately)...you are never one to be caught completely fawning over any celebrity figure..instead leaning toward real observance of any and all details (translation: the perceived "good" with the "bad").
Details are what makes a story take on life...or at least that is what dream hampton told me...

Thank you for sharing your success and failures. I love your interviewing style.

Portable Promised Land gets this years "Best Book Since the Bible" award! I liked it so much I bought one for a friend. I love the chapters with the lists in them. Toure, your interview reminded me to concentrate harder on my work ethic, to read more & to keep strivin'. BTW I'm also a performance poet & I'll be featured this Sunday Sept. 5 on HBO's DEF POETRY - I have an idea for a collaboration I'd like to propose, so hit me up - Ray'll vouch for me...
