About

We are a group of writers, artists, musicians, bums, and ne’er-do-wells based in Nashville, TN. Many of us write for local and national magazines, some have appeared in plays and movies, some slave away at 9 to 5’s, keeping one eye on the clock and the other on the local entertainment scene.

So if we’re all such big mainstream media stars, why a blog?

Well. We’re also mostly people of color. Women. GLB. We like the freedom the Internet provides us to discuss things in a way that we sometimes cannot in print or on television or wherever the corporations are in control. Also, we hope to engage a like minded audience, people who may well want to hear about things, events, ideas, controversies, that aren’t discussed in the media.

We want readers to engage in the conversation as well. However, we don’t want things to get ugly. We understand people get hacked off and jacked up (and may even let fly with the occasional profanity). Still, that’s no reason for:

• name calling
• harassment
• race baiting

And the like. Like Russell Simmons said, let’s chill on the B-word, N-word, and H-word.

With that . . .
