So this happened to me the other day:
I am an avid reader of okayplayer. I also have a rather unusual last name. So imagine my surprise when I clicked on over to okayplayer and saw a post about someone with my last name. His name: Mpozi Tolbert. His picture is on the left. He died about two years ago, and I can't find any information about how he died, other than that he simply collapsed at his office. He was a photographer, and okayplayer posted a slideshow of his work here.
The song accompanying the slideshow is "Your House" by Steel Pulse. I was very touched by it all: the photos, the song, that beautiful man's steady gaze and easy smile. And so I spent the evening thinking, sketching, and listening to reggae, which is a good soundtrack for thinking and drinking in this hot, sticky weather.
