When I’m involved, is the short answer. Just as enthusiastic but slightly less individualistic are the dances that are virtually always created as part of the branding process of a deranged sect. That’s why in India The Supreme Court (coram, Babu, Mathur, Lakshmanan, JJ) in a majority judgment today held that Anand Margis can’t perform…
Fuarosa Tamati and her daughter were given $26K by the New Zealand government to go to New York, LA and a bunch of Pacific islands to listen to hip-hop: “Having an overseas experience is really good because I am the type of person who learns visually, I am not an academic at all,” said Fuarosa……
