Agreed. So much so. Agreed.
The death of Whitney Houston has rocked the music world and her fans. Anytime we lose a star it seems like we collectively gasp as if they are not humans with flaws.
Houston lived a very public life. We witnessed her rise as a star, the odd pairing and eventual marriage to Bobby Brown. Which may have been a warning sign that maybe she did not embody the innocence and purity we as fans put on her. We watched in horror the shocking spiral into drug and alcohol addiction of a once gifted star. Fans pulled for her while at times mocking her for her fall from grace and demons.
Since her death the news has been full of drama and speculation. This only furthers the desecration of the woman she once was. A social networking trend that has emerged is of a public outcry that has become Whitney versus the whole entire American Military…

This is Real. R.I.P. Whitney Houston
Whitney Elizabeth Houston
1963-2012
One of my sheroes died on Saturday. I could not just blog about it the day it happened. I could barely think; I was pretty numb at the news. I was in an elevator and a woman said, “you hear that Whitney Houston died? Isn’t that sad?”
It is beyond sad. For me, it was beyond comprehension, even after the valley we saw her fall into so publicly. Because she had clawed her way back. Put some weight on.

Whitney Houston is a primordial symbol for me; she spoke, she sang directly to my black girlhood in the ‘80s and my young Black womanhood in the ‘90s. She represents a certain pre-music industry innocence for me. I had…

There aren’t many of the classic, Old School houses left. The power lunch venues where the deal making, celebrations, trysts, social life are played out weekly, hosted by Front Of House personalities everyone wants to be attended by, trusted to have “their” table ready when they arrive.
Small format, neighborhood places serving shareable plates and served by tattooed artists are great, but there will come a time when you’ll want an expertly stirred martini delivered by something called a Captain.
Trust me.
