MIA/BLAQSTARR - Way Down in the Hole


hey momma, with thanks to daniela for the tip, i've embedded M.I.A MIA/Blaqstarr's cover of tom wait's and The Wire's "Way Down in the Hole."

Unfortunately, this year Michael's The Wire themed Halloween never made it to fruition, which is probably for the best, as their would of been a whole lot of prezbo's and herc's in our white(ish) group of friends. Black-face is for frats and pockets of that still american deep south mentality and, thus, by that definition, unacceptable. that being said, i still think i could have gotten deep into character, brought out some gay mojo and a glimmer of absolute power in the eyes, and, as pasty as i am coming off a year of working late nights, gone and conquered as the iconic, Omar.

Wait. you've heard of the wire, right? hmmmm ...

ok,like the song. Know we need to watch the Wire...but I want to go back to the first season. When will we ever have enough time?

I did not get the rest of your post. It did not make sense to me. You will have to explain to your uncool momma.
