Leading actor, Civil Rights activist, and groundbreaker James Earl Jones has passed. I first saw him in Welcome To America and of course I remember those iconic voice roles of Darth Vader and Mufasa. He was 93. Rest In Paradise!

Just imagine a version of the “Vees” part of ‘The Show Must Go On’ that actually (actively) involved all the Vees.

Imagine there three voices mixing beautifully. Imagine the little way the show could’ve incorporated a three-way swing dance routine into the animation. Imagine VoxVal spinning Vel back and forth between them (after dancing with each other for a bit one on one of course) while they all sing and cheer. Imagine the way they could’ve animated Vel absolutely tearing up a few Lindy Hop moves real quick.

Really, just imagine how damn amazing it would’ve been if instead of just standing to record Vox and Valentino dancing & singing Velvette had (after still being able to silently judge watch them celebrating Alastor’s supposed demise) moved to prop her phone up - so she could record all of them together - and slipped in between the guys to start singing and dancing with them…while showing them up a little too, let’s be honest.

Just imagine…

Black people created nearly every major music genre in America, yet black people are underrepresented in industry leadership and awards. It’s been this way since the beginning of the music industry. At the core of this phenomenon is a paradox: America’s admiration for black culture has always coincided with its blatant disdain for black people. Millions of black Americans have to navigate a society that shamelessly sees so much value in their creations, yet so little value in their wellbeing. And nowhere is this unsettling truth more evident than in the history of American music.
