My fellow followers might remember I posted Alloe Blacc playing Billy Jean a while ago. He’s doing it again, this time with nothing more than a group of strings, and his own voice.
Brilliant version, one that shows once more how talented he is, how natural his voice sounds and how much he loves and appreciates R&B music.
I have always admired war photographers, those who risk their life to bring the horrific reality of war to cosy dinner tables on a Sunday morning. Yet many of those photographers see their purpose in the money, more than the humanity of it.
Don McCullin, is not one of them. This documentary shows his dedication, passion and motivation for following numerous wars over the passed century. An inspiring man identifying the importance of independent photography and journalism.

Socrates - believed writing could never be anything more than a cue for a memory, a way of calling to mind information already in one’s head. He feared that writing would lead the culture down a treacherous path toward intellectual and moral decay, because even while the quantity of knowledge available to people might increase, they themselves would come to resemble empty vessels.
Ironically, without writing, I could have never posted this quote, nor would I have had to. Then again, how long does it take you to click on the Socrates link to Wikipedia, so you can remember who he really was?
