Roth Gets The Boot!
Roth's magnetic radio personality was not enough to attract Sterns listeners. I have listened to the show, off and on. It sounded like a washed up rocker who was forced to get early to talk about his music-oriented experiences (which sucked). I stopped listening to him after a monday morning (4/17/06) comment..."when is the last time you seen a black guy with a guitar"...that pissed my off considering I'm a black guy who plays guitar. When we know, because of the history of rock, that if there were no black guys with guitar, he would not have had a career. Alan Freed is championed the gatekeeper of rock, and is put on the same level as the people who actually created the music. I'm sick of society in amerikkka pretending like black people have no rights to use or even hold a guitar. "Elvis made rock 'n' roll sexy, scary and safe at the same time, and he helped white people to identify with a predominantly black genre". The banjo is an african instrument brought over during slavery. Image what bluegrass or country would be without the banjo. I'm kinda of straying from the topic, but I felt that it needed to be said.
p.s., his show is being taken over by opie and anthony a.k.a "Stupid White Males with Mics"
Amerikkka has a serious problem with race and shows like the ones mentioned above only fuel the fire!

D12's Proof Gunned Down (Stolen From E.Com)
Proof, an Eminem protégé and member of the Detroit rap outfit D12, was shot to death early Tuesday at a nightclub along Eight Mile Road.
"Memorial service arrangements are still being made, and his friends and family would appreciate privacy during this difficult time," said Dennis Dennehy, the publicist for D12 at Interscope Records.
According to a spokeswoman for the Detroit police, the 32-year-old Proof, whose real name was Deshaun Holton, was shot in the head after a fight erupted around 5 a.m. at C.C.C., a bar in a Eight Mile Road strip on Detroit's northern edge. The rapper was rushed to Holy Cross Hospital in a private vehicle, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Dennehy added that, contrary to some early reports, another member of D12, Bizarre, was not involved in the shooting and was at home in Atlanta at the time.
Authorities said a 35-year-old man was also shot in the head and was listed in critical condition at St. John's Hospital, but his identity has been withheld.
Police say an investigation is underway and no suspects have been named.
His death comes four months after another member of Eminem's entourage, Obie Trice, suffered minor gunshot wounds after coming under fire on Detroit's Lodge Freeway on New Year's Eve.
Proof, who sometimes went by Big Proof, was considered a mainstay in Detroit's hip-hop scene. Last August, he released his solo debut, Searching for Jerry Garcia. He recorded two albums with D12, 2001's Devil's Night and 2004's D12 World, both of which topped the charts. The group, which also includes Eminem, was expected to head into the studio later this month and begin work on its third album.
Proof also served as Eminem's best man in January, when he swapped vows again with high school sweetheart, Kim Mathers. The rappers were good friends, with Proof also appearing in Slim Shady's blockbuster semiautobiographical film, 8 Mile, as Li'l Tic, the wordsmith who smacked down Em in an early rap battle.
And in a tragic coincidence, Proof played a murder victim in the Eminem video "Like Toy Soldiers," with Eminem and members of D12 attending his funeral.
Speaking to the hip-hop Website SOHH.com last summer to promote his album, Proof tried to distance himself from the violence in his lyrics.
"I feel that when you're put in a position of power to reach back to people who are in the streets still trying to make it that you try to make sure that people aren't beefing," he said. We're trying to have peace in the streets."
The Q&A ended with a question about what he hopes fans remember about him "when all is said and done."
"I'd want them to say that I'm a true artist," he said. "That as far as being who I am and expressing what it is that makes up me, that I did it the best and that I stayed true to the hip-hop roots.
"If I were to take my bow--which I never hope to do, I think I can rap forever--then I'd want people to understand that I did this for the love."

Apple has went and done it....Not only can you boot into Windows XP natively, but it can also be control through a boot utility that wont corrupt your system in the process. Kudos to Apple for taking a really bold step, kick the dirt right in Gates' face.
