The BLACK HISTORY MONTH Honoree I Owe An Apology

________________________________________________________________________________________________

From the opening scene of

DOLEMITE IS MY NAME,

I had a sudden burst 

of respect for

the actor portraying

a clerk in a music store

 

More than 2000 times,

I have walked/jogged

or driven by

the music studio

where Calvin Broadus

first recorded his music

but

—for the life of me—

I find 

ninety-nine-point-nine

percent of rap music

unlistenable

 

For more than 800 days,

there is a sidewalk image

of the studio building

on this computer's

desk top

as a reminder

to create a page about 

a legendary product from 

a Long Beach high school

but I have yet

to post the page

to be entitled

"A Dogg's Tale"

 

That image is 

posted below

 

Therefore 

SNOOP DOGG

please accept my apology

for not yet

having done so

 

Mr. Dogg,

you are a credit

to the human race
