Back in the days when libraries loaned records, I remember as an 11-year old taking out all the Ornette Coleman records I could get my hands on. I don’t know if I really understood what I was listening to. It was just an explosion of sound, so different from my parents records of music from the Philippines.
It was an aural representation of freedom.
Coleman was 85 when he died this morning.

Asian American alert:Bobby Shou Wood, from Honolulu, who played youth soccer in Irvine, Calif., and now plays pro soccer in Germany, was the U.S. hero in yesterday’s U.S.Men’s team friendly versus Germany in Cologne. Bobby Wood. Yes. Asian American. Just look at his fade.

Caitlyn, the Trans-Gingerbread person.
From Wheaties to….
Vanity Fair.
This is some coming out party. A real milestone in the sexual history of America. Read about the Vanity Fair photo shoot here.
More to come in July, as Caitlyn will be honored at the ESPY’s as the winner of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. Jenner was the 1976 Olympic Decathlon champion.
