Spending Saturdays Listening to Stevie Wonder

BY: GURU JAY

As Valentine’s Day nears, the air we breathe smells fresher and lovelier. Stevie Wonder puts it well, “There’s a ribbon in the sky for our love.” The snow falls and love accumulates- making this a special time of the year.

Stevie Wonder’s love songs come at a premium price. I Just Called To Say I Love You, My Cherie Amour, and Isn’t She Lovely are just some of his many masterpieces on the subject of love. No one- not even Bruno Mars– makes a better love song than Stevie Wonder.
Who can touch Wonder’s pure musical abilities and creative genius? Without question, the Master Blaster influences generations of musicians. He can take that harmonica, keyboard, or virtually any instrument and create passionate music. Let’s not forget his unforgettable/ unbelievable vocals as well.

How about spending Saturdays listening to Stevie Wonder? His music can easily be found on iTunes, YouTube, Spotify, and Pandora. The whole world should hear his songs.
I grew up listening to the Motown legend. I’ve heard numerous stories from people who knew him. They speak very highly of him. Whenever I drive pass Hitsville U.S.A. I think about how the legend of Stevie Wonder was born. I picture Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, and Smokey Robinson making hits with the 25 time Grammy award winning wonder.
Even though he is blind, Wonder’s songs generate amazing imagery. I recommend buying his Inner Visions album to experience the thrilling sensation of his music. From Fingertipsto right now, Stevie Wonder’s prolific career has been exemplary.

Living For The City is one of my theme songs. Aside from love, Stevie has a strong understanding about life. Imagine being blind, black, and poor. I encourage others to become more familiar with Stevie’s story.
In 1973, the musician almost lost his life in a car accident and went into a coma. The doctors didn’t know whether Wonder would be able to survive- let alone perform again. This shows that life is so fragile. That’s why I appreciate every moment, and take nothing for granted.

Bow Down to the Queen of Psychedelic Soul: Janis Joplin

BY: GURU JAY

Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and Michael Jackson made their marks on the world over. Music was a religion to Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley. And Miles Davis was the common denominator.
Music is a universal language. We wake up and fall asleep to the sound of music. Living on a farm, we may hear crock-a-doodle do first thing in the morning. At night the crickets chirp in synchronization making our sleeping more enjoyable. In the city the cars speed, the helicopters cop, and the train choo choos.
Now drones are the newest music brought to us by Barack Obama. Music can be organized and/or chaotic sounds. Jazz, Rap, and Rock & Roll demonstrate the different potential ranges and dynamic mechanics of music. While pop appeals to our subconscious and lower passions, the Blues showcase a ‘piece of my heart.’

Blues legend Janis Joplin helped change society. The singer stepped on the stage on purpose and carrying a message in her hand. She was well equipped with only a guitar.
The Queen of Psychedelic Soul was a figurehead of 1960s music. What would Woodstock be without Janis Joplin? In a sense, Joplin was a musical revolutionary.
Janis Joplin possessed the perfect tone. She never overcompensated. She always delivered.

American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox covered Me and Bobby McGee on the show. Who doesn’t sing Janis Joplin’s songs? Tons of musicians strive to become like Janis Joplin because she is a masterpiece.

I love painting portraits and Janis was a fine painter. I connect with Janis Joplin spiritually and emotionally. Although I wasn’t alive for Woodstock, my spirit was there. Janis Joplin isn’t alive right now in the physical but her spirit is here with us.

Beyonce famously sung Bow Down bitches. And bitches bowed down because she is Queen Bey of the Beyhive. You must bow down to Janis Joplin too because she is the Queen of Psychedelic Soul, bitch.

Why Charlie Puth Is a Big Name

BY: GURU JAY

Charlie Puth is only in the beginning stages of a promising music career. What is more, he is multitalented and more than capable of playing the keys like a young Elton John. That’s why his vocals and piano skills are prominently displayed in the See You Again and One Call Away music videos.
Right now, the 24 year old is sending a message loud and clear with his Nine Track Mind album. Listen to Charlie Puth’s Marvin Gaye song featuring Meghan Trainor for proof. Better yet, watch this widely popular AMA performance below.

Does that have the Spiderman/ Tobey Maguire- Kirsten Dunst upside down kiss beat or what? You see Charlie beat the odds because right from the start, he didn’t care about the odds. Plus, Puth beat the odds because he’s from New Jersey.
Everybody I know from Jersey is a rough rider. If Charlie were born and raised in Wyoming, he would still be struggling as a music artist. I’m having some fun here but there’s a grain of truth to that statement.
Before becoming famous, Charlie created a YouTube channel and gained a large following. Presently his social media accounts are experiencing rapid growth in number of fans and engagement. Across the Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook platforms Charlie easily leads 5 million followers.
He sounds and looks like a mix between Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber. As far as style, he is a straight Sam Smith. Substance-wise, his lyrics are on par with Gnarls Barkley NOT Charles Barkley.
In other words, Charlie Puth receives high marks on his creativity as a songwriter. Like Ed Sheeran, I wouldn’t be surprised if Charlie wrote a few songs for One Direction in the future. It seems Charlie Puth and Harry Styles are becoming good friends in the studio.
The music artist makes the stage his canvas. Charlie Puth is a big name because he has big potential. He is somebody to watch for years to come.

Why Jim Carrey Is the Einstein of Comedy

BY: GURU JAY


Canada brews amazing beer like LaBatt Blue and Molson. Also, Canada breeds superior comedians. Case in point, Jim Carrey came out of Canada. The Liar Liar actor plays memorable characters because the man himself makes a lasting impression on you. All of his impressions (including his first one) are great.
Do you remember his dynamic impersonations and sketches on the In Living Color TV series? Did you know Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez became famous on In Living Color as well? Like TV screens, opportunities come in all shapes and sizes.
Everybody has seen a Jim Carrey movie. This celebrity’s popularity spans the globe. Moreover, Jim turns the comedy world on its axis. He plays God in Bruce Almighty. Of course Morgan Freeman, who’s well known for authoritative roles, hands over his supernatural power to the Unnatural standup comedian. Plus, Jennifer Aniston plays a perfect wife.
Don’t get me started recommending Jim Carrey movies because I find tremendous value in most of his work. My middle school gym teacher lived by the motto “Do what you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” I believe Jim Carrey loves comedy, acting and entertaining. That’s why his movies habitually break the box office bank.

Like me, passion guides Jim Carrey’s direction. His confidence enables him to complete his missions. I’ve studied Jim Carrey for several years.
I’ve concluded that his brain is hardwired differently. Stephen Hawking has one of the smartest minds. And Jim Carrey has one of the funniest minds.
Although he’s known for Dumb and Dumber, Jim Carrey is the Einstein of comedy. You got me started. I highly recommend the following movies for entertainment: Yes Man, Fun with Dick and Jane, The Mask, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Truman Show, and The Cable Guy.
Finally, let’s discuss Jim Carrey movies in the comments. After all these years, how amazing is it that Jim Carrey keeps in touch? He consistently creates great content. I create original entertainment stories and Jim Carrey is an original entertainer.

The Rawness and Genius of Ricky Gervais

BY: GURU JAY

Where do you find originality in entertainment? Celebrities copy each other and it’s an accepted practice. How often do you hear the same jokes delivered by different comedians?

There are few originals and millions of carbon copies. Ricky Gervais is one of the few and proud, but I wouldn’t say humble.
I respect Ricky Gervais and his act. I feel there is certain rawness about him. Plus, the man is a genius.
Ricky Gervais invented a larger than life persona. I don’t believe he is arrogant in real life. Gervais shares a similar style with Stephen Colbert.
Moreover, his sense of humor and timing is one of the best in show business. And he is a brilliant comedy writer. Funny people have always had a job from jesters to clowns to comedians. I’d bet money there are some jesters in this celebrity’s genealogy.

You can count on Ricky Gervais to amuse your ears, but he won’t clean them. Dirty words make up the bulk of his vernacular on set. You receive that rawness. It’s common knowledge that a lot of times it’s not what you say but how you say it that matters.
Why isn’t Ricky Gervais in more movies? It would be nice to see him expand more into filmmaking. The comedy world seems restrictive. For example, Amy Schumer should have been able to make Train Wreck a lot quicker. Also, what’s holding up the Richard Pryor Biopic?
I believe the world itself has too many restrictions. In 2016, we are advancing technologically but humanity is headed backwards. There’s a total lack of empathy. I applaud Ricky Gervais because he brings to light what’s happening, specifically the human disconnection in an “anti-socially” connected society.
As a satirist Ricky Gervais makes pressing observations. He uses the stage like agent 007 James Bond and Agent 86 Maxwell Smart. That’s pure genius.

He may get trashed at a Hollywood after party but he doesn’t waste his talent. I love entertainment because it’s all about having a good time and being happy. We gotta take breaks and enjoy our lives because tomorrow is not promised to anybody. Anything can happen at anytime and anywhere. So, let’s make the most of our time right here and now.

Tom-Tom: How Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise Control Hollywood

BY: GURU JAY
Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise represent strong ideologies. I know where you think I’m going with this. Hold on a second.
I won’t discuss Scientology although the subject matter might generate considerable attention for me and controversy. The ideologies I’m referring to are their mentalities and philosophies about approaching acting and filmmaking. I consider Tom Hanks to be the best actor. And I believe Tom Cruise is the best movie star.
I call this phenomenon Tom-Tom. Tom-Tom is a popular navigation tool aka GPS. This device pinpoints location and directs drivers to destinations. Without question, Tom-Tom’s creator created one of technology’s greatest breakthroughs.
Because of satellites, software, and advanced mappings, we arrive at point B more precisely. Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise combine their talents and efforts to create Hollywood’s own Tom-Tom. Their movies have long influenced the entertainment business like no others.
In a sense, they control Hollywood’s current with their well-polished wind turbines and fancy solar panels, which brings me to my question. How much energy can two people generate?

Show Tom Cruise more respect for his acting ability. In order to perform at the peak, one needs peak skills. What is the Mission Impossible movie franchise without the franchise player? The notion that a movie star can’t be an actor and vice versa is false. Cruise should have won an Oscar because the actor is undeniably great.
Also, ask a Tom Hanks fan if she considers the Forrest Gump actor to be a movie star. I’m here to say you can get a taste of the best of both worlds. It’s been proven that life is full of possibilities. Always ask what if…? because you’re unlimited when passion takes over.
I respect Hanks and Cruise because they navigate their waters like Christopher Columbus. Both men command their ships like captains. Here’s a great segue.
Tom Hanks’ performance in Captain Phillipswas one for the ages. How does he keep getting better with every film? What director doesn’t fantasize about casting the Castaway?
Moreover, Vanilla Sky remains one of my favorite movies. I wonder if Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz would ever tie the knot. I could watch Vanilla Skyeveryday because of the onscreen relationship between Cruise and Diaz.
In closing, Tom-Tom controls Hollywood. All films schools (worth their tuition) should study Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. What is more, Tom-Tom movies are worth their prices of admissions.

Why Kimora Lee Simmons Is Exceptional

BY: GURU JAY
I’m not a reality TV fan, although I’m fascinated with some reality TV stars. I don’t watch Keeping Up with the Karsashians, but I enjoy gazing at Kim Kardashian’sTwitter and Instagram selfies. I’m busy Keeping Up with Myself.
Still, I realize many of my fans love reality TV shows and some hate them with a passion. I know hate is a strong word that’s why I used it. I got to get paid. That’s the reason why you won’t find many reality TV stories.
I believe the majority of reality shows are a waste of time. However, there are exceptions. I make an exception for documentaries because knowledge is power.
Are there guilty pleasures? Yes, people like certain shit for a variety of reasons. Nowadays, no one doesn’t have an opinion. Everybody has a problem. I have a solution.


I make an exception for Kimora Lee Simmons. I used to watch Simmons for entertainment purposes and enlightenment. Kimora was an important brand ambassador for Russell Simmons’ empire.

What is more, Kimora built her own trademarked products while helping Russell prosper. That’s why they’re still on good terms today despite their divorce. They nipped it in the bud by becoming best buds. Both parties are happy now. Simmons makes you smile after a hard day of work because she loves life.
Kimora Lee Simmons is one of the finest fashion models ever in the entertainment business. The biracial celebrity is an exotic beauty with Korean heritage. Lee’s modeling success is well documented. Plus, Lee’s business acumen has been validated.
The celebrity deserves credit for Phat Farm and Baby Phat, especially. I believe Kimora Lee Simmons is a brand name because she’s the one and only. Is she on Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum’s level? You could build a case for that.

Kimora can work well in front of the cameras and behind the scenes. Fashion designers equally admire Lee’s fashion and business sense. Here’s a gal who struts her stuff and knows her stuff too.
