the truth is really I'm scared/ Not scared of the truth/...

But just scared of the length you'll go to fight it – Saul Williams, Act III, Scene 2 (Shakespeare)

Last night I just about pulled the car over in disbelief when Saul Williams’ cover of U2’s Sunday Bloody Sunday came on the radio….It’s on his new album, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust, which Trent Raznor produced. Apparently the video premieres tomorrow. Knowing Saul’s work, it should be fascinating stuff…he’s an awesome poet. If only we had a Nuyorican in Seattle.

Also, can someone please tell me where Omar’s at? I miss him.
