Herbert's Heard
That Freedom is the greatest party of all time!!!!

Word As Bond
So so sorry. I've been out every day, all day, looking for a place to call home. It ain't easy, man. But of course, Herbert has kept his ear to the streets, his eyes on the changing world, his spirit tuned into the universal energy that one day we'll be a part of, 'less you've been bad. (I can get deeper than that Pevin Everett track. But not nearly as deep as the remix of Salt N' Pepa's "Push It" I heard today on 115th and Lenox. Is that Cameron? That's some deep ish, boy.) Anyways, word on the street is that Freedom is really, really, really doing it. This past Friday, Hot 97 represented with Rich Nice, Cynthia Fety and DJ Wonder, all descending upon Starfoods to give me and Cosi a morning show. Sike. To give us some money. Sike. To Have Some Fun. Everybody that comes to our joint says "It's been a long time since we danced," or, "It's been a minute since I partied like that." We keep it real at Freedom. We play dope music you can dance to, we keep the darn kitchen open till 2AM, and we get you drunk with drinks you can afford. Big shout out to Soulfinger Sam, DJ Southpaw, John Stockton, Chad Sabini and the rest of the 300 plus people that fill in week in, week out.

The word on the street is also ... uh ... never mind. You know what? Manhattan is wack!!! That' right. I said it. "I hope I made you mad enough I can see your face" (a direct quote from an old crank taping). Manhattan is for the rich folk. Plain and simple. It's lost its character, its charm, its intrigue, its inspiration. When was the last time you went out to a party or to a social event (besides my party called Freedom--see the paragraph prior) or just for a walk and felt like you were in the greatest city in the world? Our past two mayors have made it a home for 6-figurin freakin' metrosexual asses that don't care they're paying half-a million for a large studio someone threw a wall in and called a "2 BR." As long as they can go out to the local "haute" spot and and have a drink with their own kind, with people that don't challenge the way they think and live. Not much different than the bar at T.G.I.Friday's on Tilton Road in Northfield, New Jersey. Go Home!!!!

Thank God for Breyer's Low Fat Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. That's all I'm gonna say. Thank freaking God. 'Tis the best thing in the world. The cool, minty-fresh flavor runs all nice-like over your tongue, and the chunks of little chewey chocolate are so good. Dang! I could eat a whole box. A whole box! (Though at that point, it wouldn't make a difference about the grams of saturated fat.) If you put on a Steven Segal movie, or "Real TV" marathon, I could kill the box easily.

Congrats to my baby Alexandra for landing spots in two upcoming Metropolitan Opera productions--Tannhauser and Turandot. Now ... Herbert's never seen either one of those operas, nor has he even heard of them, nor would he be able to spell them if he didn't just look it up online, so don't get all mushy and up in my ish about being cultured and worldly and ... irresistably breathtaking.

That's actually my girl. Don't Hate!!!!
