Last night I held on to almost 25 minutes past midnight for the #24B4Monday before I nodded off to sleep. Once I‘ve been caffeinated it‘s back in the game with Laina Dawes.

12 hours to go until #24B4Monday. Depending on how I feel when I‘m done with my shift I‘ll either begin the #BlackHistoryMonth #readathon with tagged book or watch my favorite movie feature Staring At the Back of My Eyelids.

" 'The debt of heavy metal to African-American music making,' [Robert Walser] writes, 'has vanished from most accounts of the genre, just as black history has been suppressed in every other field.' "
