He doesn't have to be as funny or as culturally relevant as Arsenio - But I'm just hoping that Brian McKnight can pull off the (not too difficult) task of being better than Magic Johnson.
Not since the days of In Living Color and Arsenio Hall and Spike Lee movies (With music from Public Enemy.) have we had the chance to redefine our cultural standards. Here's to hoping we get it right this time.
We got him out here in LA resinging other famous people songs on our R&B station KJLH. I find him to be quite boring so unless he takes a line before going out get ready for the smooth talk hour that you usually reserve for slow jams.
No one has done it better than Arsenio Hall and until we get someone who is a presence without being a joke none of these guys will work.
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)
