When you least expect it, reverse dyslexia can strike anyone, of any intelligence at anytime. Let’s say you’re moderating a discussion group on the broken laws of thermodynamics superceding advanced science initiatives that inadvertently perpetuate a new breed of supervillianism.
A reverse dyslexic might look at the same sentence on the teleprompter and think, “Shit, someone lost my dry cleaning? I’m fucked. Oh wait, I’m leading a discussion on the broken laws of thermodynamics superceding advanced science initiatives that perpetuate a new breed of supervillianism. Get it together man! Remember, you’re going out for drinks later with Parker Posey and her posse!”
Reverse dyslexia can be a real bitch!

Stone Cold Solid Black History Month Moment #6: The Sugar Shack by Ernie Barnes
The Sugar Shack is one of the most iconic African American images ever created on canvas. Ernie Barnes, an art major at North Carolina Central University and retired professional football player, lent this amazingly vibrant and rhythmic painting for the cover of Marvin Gaye's 1976 soul classic I Want You. Others may recognize it from the 70s TV show Good Times when J.J. passed it off as his own. Either way, it’s truly a fantastic masterpiece. I still have a crush on the ladies in red, blue & yellow. Yeeow.

The following handwritten letter was discovered tonight crumpled up on the freezing marble steps of McKinley Hall:
Dear Lisa,
It’s a forgone conclusion I can’t make up my mind about that choice decision. Now if I could only remember what it was all about. One thing’s for sure—I’m going to go postal in my confliction resolution class with Dr. Evan Thingsout. Hey at least my therapist says my mood-swings, severe hypothermia and narcoleptic kleptomania absolutely have nothing to do with my smoking copious amounts of mind-bending loco weed, camping naked outside this winter and ignoring my unconscious ability to steal things in my sleep without paying for them. I know I’ve been tree sitting at night for 37 days, but was buying me a bar of soap some sort of elaborate, highly intricate, multi-faceted scheme designed to perhaps maybe suggest I should finally take a shower?
Hey I’m digging that new shovel we found buried,
Kristin

Stone Cold Solid Black History Month Moment #78: Power Man and Iron Fist Fight for Racial Harmony
In my native homeland, I read Power Man and Iron Fist comics. As a poorly dressed, but pioneering interracial crime-fighting duo, Power Man and Iron Fist likely inspired Stevie Wonder & Paul McCartney to write “Ebony and Ivory.” Um yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Luke Cage (Powerman): a child of the streets…Daniel Rand (Iron Fist): a son of the mystic city of K’un-Lun…Two men from different worlds—both reborn with strength and power beyond belief! And together, no one can stop them!

Stone Cold Sobering Black History Month Moment #4: Marvin Gaye "Life Is For Learning," 1980
Marvin was a hurting soul by 1981. His divorce to Anna Gordy haunted him and his sexual muse Janice grew tired of the tortured artist addicted to cocaine. The man in the courtroom at the end of the song is Marvin Gaye Sr., who in a fit of confused rage, shot and killed Marvin Gaye Jr. after a heated argument at his home on April 1, 1984.

Stone Cold Solid Black History Month Moment #27: The Jacksons 1980 video masterpiece "Can You Feel It"
Between his killer solo album Off The Wall and his first nose job, Michael Jackson helps out the brothers Jackson one last time (not counting lame 1984 reunion tour).
