Lady of Elegance

With a smooth sultry voice and youth and exuberance, Esperanza Spalding is headed full steam to the future all the way from Oregon. She is intelligent to say the least as she plays multiple instruments before she picked the bass as her weapon of choice. After only a year of high school she enrolled at Portland State University where she graduated in three years, and then became of the youngest professors to teach at Berklee College of Music. She is more than proficient on the double bass and her jazz is something with a very modern feel yet very relaxing, I find Ms. Spalding herslef doesnt exactly fit in to the streotyped image of a jazz musician. To hear her sound and style you should look up her tow relesed studio albums to date, Junjo*2006* and Esperanze*2008* and enjoy. ~R. Esquire

Unbound Resolution

On the July 29. 2008 the House of Represenatives, lead by Democratic Represenative of Tennesse Steve Cohen; gave a NONBINDING resolution apologizeing for slavery and the cruelty, brutality, inhumanity, and injustice of the Jim Crowe Era. The Represenatives acknowledge that the negative effects are felt to the current day stemming from slavery which involve tangible and intangible damages. All of this is of importance because it is the first time that a federal branch of the government has issued an apology. With that being said I believe out of everything said in this apology nonbinding is the most important word. I feel it is wonderful for the government to formally give acknowledgement to the masses who suffered during a horrible period of United States history. However to give an unbinding apology to those you held bound and exploited seems ironic. On the other hand I can think nothing more American, to try to get the most for free. From free labor to being exonerated from crime free of responsibility. Perhaps it is merely a formality but i suppose we will all have to wait and see if anything develops from this unbound reolution.
