checking out the tom waits vid i came across one from my "man of the year 2005", MF DOOM

best gift i got is Made in Detroit : A South of 8 Mile Memoir, a book by PAUL CLEMENS who, like myself, grew up white in an increasingly black city. so far the book is worth it for its insights on the downfall of the city alone, although its most startling efforts are such frank views as his "having been born with not only the Catholic version of original sin but the white American version of it as well."
