I wish I could say that I got myself DNA tested because of some deep desire to know who my ancestors are. If you’re African- or Caribbean-American you just accept the fact that you’re mixed. I wanted to get the lowdown on my ancestral DNA for the same reason I’ve considered getting my masters degree in sociology: for the jokes.

Yes, the movie is out but I'm still choosing to listen first to the audiobook of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.  I love history, I love vampires, and how do you not love Abraham Lincoln in a straight up pimp pose.

 
 
That's right, June is audiobook month! And I got the opportunity to do a fan video clip for friend, colleague, and rock star narrator Robert Fass


It's not too late to get in on the fun. If you're on Twitter check out #JIAM2012 and share your audiobook passion.

I recently found myself performing on a charter music cruise headlined by New Kids on the Block. You heard me. I’m not big on boy bands but I was just a wee bit sorry that it wasn’t Boyz to Men. [Insert sly smile and small swoon here.] In case you didn’t know, New Kids on the Block re-branded themselves NKOTB. This is cute but it must make it hard on their dyslexic fans. I bet some of those poor ladies ended up on the MFSB cruise jamming to “Love is the Message.”
