My Vision of Peace Photographer – Kimberly Edwards On Mardi Gras Day in New Orleans Big Chief Alfred Doucette debuted his “Peace Suit.” Words of peace were carefully sewed in the Chief’s new Indian Suit in response to the city’s high murder rate and even higher incarceration rate. Alfred Doucette has a true heart for the youth of New Orleans, striving to give them a sense of pride in their culture and in themselves, taking time to share the Mardi Gras Indian traditions with any child who asks or shows interest, and lives his life to make the world a better and more peaceful place. This suit is a tangible image of his soul.

Well ..  you are reading this.. we apparently made it though the portended portal/synchronization of 2013 .. so far so good? ..  I wouldn’t quiiite yet grab the remote, check-out, and zone-out again via Animal Reality Geographic’s  sexi-broody-vampire-penguins (Wanderlust) as a daily junk-media diet … as perhaps the “fat lady” hasn’t yet sung? .. or GabriEL hasn’t yet held that note forever (Bruce Almighty) … or , perhaps they have, and we have undergone some kind of cosmic mitosis .. pa’ delante ..

in case you may be onedering what that LISTEN LIVE ! press play button has in store for you .. it is sets like these …  hundreds of them .. all waiting patiently to worldOneradioXo your hEARtS .. and blow some domes ..

and “nothing beats reality” (Rodriguez) … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL5TffdOQ7g

Media .. including worldOneradio, is only, by definition, “in the middle”  .. that noted .. highly recommending “Searching for Sugarman” for a number of reasons from music/lyricism to story to spirit . It features no cast of thousands, nary a car chase, nor gun-wielding-super-model agent, nor floozy .. for that matter .. no rock star hubris! and I suspect you may emerge …elated .. it’s an almost unbelievable real-life story, and its still unfolding….  Gentle WoW .. XO Sixto + Fam + Friends.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL5TffdOQ7g

Macklemore and Lewis .. insightful and gots slaps …WTTSMFa ( what-the-thrift-store-m—-f—ka!) .. thrifty hip-hope ( Thrift Store ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae9_RGZLZhI ,  busting out homophobia and amplfyin’ for mo’love ( Same Love ) …  and telling Nike pretty much where to stuff their swooshisms (Wings) .. and that’s pretty much… where the sweat shop don’t shine! 

Kendrick Lamar … we was hangin back,true  … while a suite from the second half of Good Kid Bad City has been added to worldOneradio ad infinitum .. Respect!
