#Celtics LEGEND #BillRussell SOUNDS OFF on Gay Athletes! [details]

Posted: 12 Apr 2014 09:01 PM PDT



Boston Celtics LIVING LEGEND Bill Russell SOUNDS off on the rise of GAY ATHLETES coming out and striving for EQUALITY and it's not what you think.  Russell likens the struggles of gay athletes to that of BLACK athletes back in his time.



NBA Hall of Famer Bill Russell said Wednesday that gay athletes' current fight for equality and acceptance reminds him of some of the same struggles black athletes faced in the 1960s.

Russell, who won 11 NBA championships with the Boston Celtics, said talk about whether gay athletes can be good teammates or if they might disrupt locker rooms are the same questions black athletes heard years ago, when colleges and professional leagues were struggling with the concept of integration.

"It seems to me, a lot of questions about gay athletes, were the same questions they used to ask about us," Russell said during a panel discussion at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library in Austin, which is hosting a summit celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act.

Russell said he would have only one question about a gay teammate: Can he play?

Russell, 80, joined NFL Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown, 78, on a panel about sports and race during the three-day Civil Rights Summit. Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to address the summit Wednesday night, and President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak Thursday.

Brown and Russell were key figures, as athletes and black leaders, during the civil rights movement. Both men said they approached civil rights as a struggle for respect for human beings based on their character and merit, not the color of their skin.

This is true. A person's SEXUALITY should not be in question--their skill on the field or court should be the BIGGER QUESTION. Nothing else matters when you are trying to be a CHAMPION, right?

TO EACH HIS OWN, but when you are on a TEAM, WINNING is the ULTIMATE GOAL.

#Coachella- #Outkast RIPS the Coachella stage for 90 Minutes! A few WTF moments but still EPIC! [video]

Posted: 12 Apr 2014 02:36 PM PDT



Were you there?  Or were you rocking along with the REST OF US with the LIVESTREAM of 'Outkast's' EPIC comeback REUNION!  Seven years in the making but it HAPPENED!  OUTKAST is back and we love it.  With a REUNION of this maginitude, it was BOUND to be without a few FLAWS....  BUT it's Outkast, so do we care of a few missteps?  Not really!  Watch the FULL SET, the cameos, the set list and REACTIONS, right here....after the JUMP!



Now that you have seen the WHOLE SET, let's talk...shall we???


Big Boi and Andre 3000 of Outkast perform onstage during day 1 of the 2014 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Club on April 11, 2014 in Indio, California

"What we are witnessing tonight is history," gushed special guest Janelle Monae to the crowd midway through the performance: this was Outkast, one of the most celebrated musical duos of all time, rejoining forces after a seven-year stop. On the other hand, this was their first performance back, and at times, it felt that way. The highs of Outkast's Coachella performance were live-music apexes that few can reach, but there were missteps, edges that hopefully will be sanded over time, as the pair's summer-festival takeover moves from city to city.

After a high-energy day on the main stage at Coachella that also included performances from Ellie Goulding, Chromeo and Girl Talk, Andre 3000 and Big Boi emerged from the center of a hollow cube that remained propped up onstage throughout their set. The duo fulfilled every promise of an Outkast reunion in the set's first third, starting with "B.O.B." and jumping from "Gasoline Dreams" to "ATLiens" to a run of "Aquemini" songs, including "Skew It On The Bar-B," "Rosa Parks" and the title track.

With material that strong, details like the stage show, live band and the duo's vocal delivery could be waved off as fairly inconsequential. But those aspects were on-point too, with the giant cube flashing some neat graphics when it wasn't transparent, the brass section adding pop to "Spottieottiedopaliscious" and Andrew and Big palling around like old times (or that's how it seemed, at least). With Three-Stacks wearing overalls and a hoodie and Big Boi rocking a massive gold chain, Outkast came out looking fresh and sounding reinvigorated, as they proceeded to check off some of their classic songs.

Half an hour into the set, however, Andre 3000 disappeared, and it was time for Big Boi to man the spotlight alone. Hopscotching through "Speakerboxxx" highlights like "Bowtie" and "GhettoMusick" as well as solo material like "Shutterbugg," Outkast's less flashy member got a deserved nod for his work since the hiatus began. After Monae appeared for their collaboration "Tightrope" and Big Boi jetted through "Kryptonite," Andre 3000 then was given his own solo run, which pulled entirely from "The Love Below." Songs like "Prototype," "Vibrate" and "She Lives In My Lap" round out the more underrated half of Outkast's 2003 double album, but gobbled up way too much time in the context of Outkast's 90-minute show. When Big Boi returned for "Roses," the crowd applauded feverishly -- perhaps because they actually recognized one of the songs being played, after a string of non-singles.



And then the performance took a strange turn when Atlanta rapper Future took the stage to join Outkast for three (!) songs, including the Andre 3000-featuring "Benz Friendz (Whatchutola)," from his forthcoming album "Honest." With time ticking away toward the 1:00 AM curfew for the festival, Andre and Big Boi hastily returned to the hits when Future departed, including early cuts "Claimin' True" and "Elevators." A sound problem cut "Ms. Jackson" off halfway through, and then Outkast coolly plowed through "So Fresh, So Clean," "The Way You Move" and "Hey Ya." During what should have been the most jubilant run of the evening, the rappers appeared to be losing their energy; for "Hey Ya," Andre oddly turned his back to the crowd during the first verse, and couldn't force a smile throughout the song. The pair then beckoned Killer Mike onstage, presumably to end the performance with "The Whole World," but the 1:00 AM curfew had already struck, and the three MC's glumly retreated to end the performance without playing the song.

To be fair, the Coachella performance was a unique night in terms of guest stars present, and cameos by Janelle Monae and Future likely won't occur at Outkast's upcoming festival dates (Andre 3000 mentioned that his "idol," Prince, was also in attendance on Friday night, although the Purple One sadly did not come onstage). And perhaps the solo sets for each MC will be shortened at future shows, in order to give more time to proper Outkast tracks. It's always easy to quibble about set lists, but when six songs are culled from Andre 3000's "The Love Below" and only one is played from Outkast's 1994 debut "Southernplayalisticcadillacmuzik" -- in the 20th anniversary of its release -- any Outkast diehard would profess that there's a wrong that needs to be righted. The Coachella crowd was invested in the entire performance, but the middle of the set was so barren of proper Outkast hits that it felt like the recent Academy Awards, testing the patience of its audience with middling fare while teasing the big prizes at the end.

As for the chemistry between Andre 3000 and Big Boi, the 90-minute set was inconclusive. There were moments when the pair appeared as if they were having a blast together, like when Andre improvised his second verse of "Roses" and got his sidekick to guffaw at the spontaneous departure. There were also moments when neither member looked like they wanted to cross over and set forth on their partner's side of the stage. Coachella was the first performance of a very long run, and it's likely that Big and Andre will once again get used to each other's onstage tendencies. It's also possible that things could sour further, and future performances will be even more disjointed.

For now, however, let's put the distressing details aside. Outkast is back playing shows again, and (for the most part) understand what type of show its audience wants to see. The duo's Coachella performance was far from perfect, but the show did include some of the best hip-hop songs ever recorded, played live from a pair that had been apart for far too long. On opening night, that fact was more than enough to satisfy
