It has now been a week since the tragic accident that took the lives of John, Kerri and Alyssa Artobelli, Sarah and Payton Chaser, Christina Mauser, Ara Zoboyan and Gianna Maria and Kobe Bryant. It was a shock to the world to hear the news, I personally did not believe on first exposure, it took the news of games at Mamba Academy being stopped for me to accept the painful truth. One of mine and the country’s idols was gone, the immortal Kobe Bryant will no longer be sitting courtside with his daughter and protege Gigi, and will not be able to spread his vast knowledge of the game anymore. It is a tough pill to swallow for sure, but there is no need to just think about the sadness of it all, as a people we must look at the good and be thankful for the time we had them. To help do that, I intend to review the Oscar-winning Dear Basketball, Kobe’s epitome of his basketball journey and the steps along the way.
Just Mercy tells the powerful story of lasting racism in the southern United States and how much a few people would do to keep others down. Based on the best selling novel by Bryan Stevenson, recounts the true story of Walter “Johnny Dee” McMillian, played by Jamie Foxx, who was put on death row for a crime he did not commit. Harvard lawyer Bryan Stevenson, played by Michael B. Jordan, takes it upon himself to prove to the courts that McMillian was wrongfully convicted. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, this movie brings a factual recounting of the events faced by McMillian, albeit somewhat slowly at times.
Lilly Hiatt and her crack band played at Standard Deluxe in October. For those who haven’t been to Standard Deluxe, it’s a printer and music venue in Waverly, Ala. about 20 minutes from Auburn. With its funky vibe and primitive folk art furnishings, Standard Deluxe is a haven of nonchalant cool in the tiny southern town.

Imagine you are at church. Roughly 300 people are sitting inside. You are all tuned into the same thing, the preacher, and you feel at home. This is where you want to be, and if you don’t want to be there you don’t have to be. Now imagine instead of a church, it is a field in the middle of nowhere at 3 am. And instead of a preacher, it is a DJ, or DJs, and a giant stage.
