It was GREAT!! I'd never even heard of this guy (i'm a cali girl) and i was so intrigued by the interviews, the clips, and the storytelling. </p> <p>BET J is GREAT. i love Meet the Faith &amp; My Two Cents. I love that they show black folk, educated black people, DEBATING about REAL issues that affect us. I also really love the BET J Shorts &amp; the fact they give young, minority filmmakers a chance to showcase their skills. it's a great channel and i'm so glad i get it. I wish the regular BET would start taking some clues.<br /> ~<br /> the prisoner's wife: mommy.wife.wordsmith.all around cool chick.</p> Wed, 19 Dec 2007 12:13:44 -0600 theprisonerswife comment 32774 at http://www.blogher.com http://www.blogher.com/chicken-operas-and-parallel-paths#comment-32772 <p>I *just* listened to it on my iPod. I could NOT BELIEVE that Chicken Opera story. Hilarious. </p> <p><a href="http://www.nerdseyeview.com">Nerd's Eye View</a></p> Wed, 19 Dec 2007 10:30:31 -0600 Pam comment 32772 at http://www.blogher.com
