Music For Change
Maurice and Carlton Turner grew up in Raymond surrounded by the sound of jazz greats and the sight of their parents passionately working to improve the lives of young people at the Leake & Watts Foster Home for Boys. Now that they are adults, they play music, own a studio production company and work as community activists. One of their goals through their music is to create a more positive cultural space for today's young people to enjoy music that is both hip and wholesome. Their third album, a cross-genre mix of hip-hop, spoken word, jazz, soul and R&B, will be released in early 2008.

Highty, Tighty, Gosh a Mighty ... Who Cares?
Back home after having Frank's biscuits for lunch, Todd plops down in front of the TV. "Look, Ole Miss is about to beat Florida. And they're ranked No. 6," he says, excitedly. Mississippi State alum that I am, I start watching the TV screen in a rather bored fashion. Suddenly, I realize that the man I love and who has routinely cheered for State with me is rooting for Ole Miss. He even supported my team against his alma mater, Texas A&M in the bowl game a couple years back (he knew I'd be hard to live with if State lost). Now, though, he's betraying me? What the ....?!? "Well, they're the Mississippi team. We've got to root for Mississippi teams. And they'll tear down the goal posts." I'm starting to realize that my Texas man is truly becoming a Mississippian -- except, well, you can't root for both State and Ole Miss. Not in the same lifetime. He oughta know that; he's from a football state. When's the last time Mr. A&M cheered on Texas, eh? I keep shooting him dirty looks through the end of the game, even as Ole Miss students rush the field. Later, I will hear that Texas Tech beat A&M today. Well, then.
