Killen Trial — Tuesday News Round-up
Today, the Los Angeles Times has a good news piece co-written by Jenny Jarvie (who was one of the reporters who saw the Klan wizard at Killen's house Sunday night). Jenny (who is British) seems to be trying very hard to tell a balanced story, including about new generations of Mississippi. Kudos to her.
[Music] Nona Mae Would Be So Proud
You know the cliché—the sincere hippie chick with a nice voice and sincere, if a bit vapid, lyrics. Well, throw your preconceived notions out the window and run out and get Laurel Isbister's new release, "Nona Mae's Wishes," a live recording of performances the now Jackson-based songwriter gave in California a couple of years back. Yes, Laurel looks a bit like a hippie chick, and yes, her lyrics and delivery are unabashedly sincere. But it works wonderfully, as Isbister's breathy voice, sonorous guitar phrasings and evocative subject matter gel beautifully.

In 1993, the Virginia brothers Malice (born Gene Thornton) and Pusha-T (born Terrence Thornton) met super producer Pharrell Williams, and The Clipse was born. The rest, you could say, is history—tumultuous history. Since Clipse was born, the duo's first album was shelved, their second album went gold ("Lord Willin'," in 2002), and their third release was stalled for four years as their record company seemed to lose interest in them in favor of its pop artists.

Important Correction About Run-Offs
In the issue of the JFP out today, we said you could vote in the run-offs on Tuesday ONLY IF you voted in the Aug. 5 primary. The secretary of state's office called immediately to call our attention to the mistake: *You can vote in the run-off* even if you didn't vote in the primary, but you do have to vote for the same party (I suppose, unless you didn't vote at all; then you can take your pick).
