They used to say that God is a DJ but it turns out that Granny is too!

This heartwarming story reveals that it’s never too late to do anything. The lesson from 69-year old Ruth Flowers aka Granny DJ, is that all of us must chase our dreams and let nothing stand in our way.

Go Granny! And, shake it like a Polaroid Pictyaaa!

Women have the power to break the cycle of hunger and poverty, and you and I can help reach this goal. (Source: WFP)

I have sent a message of solidarity to women across the globe who fight everyday to make hunger history in their own households and around the world.

Get Well Soon Guru!

by JaBig on 2 March 2010

Last night amidst the Canadian Men’s hockey team winning the Winter Olympic gold medal over the US, music lovers worldwide were saddened and shocked to hear that the legendary underground rapper Guru suffered a cardiac arrest, went in a coma and this Monday was in hospital fighting for his life.

If all Hip-Hop was like Guru’s music, I would still be spinning urban music. I actually was blessed enough to discover Rap and Hip-Hop via some conscious music such as the Jazzmatazz albums.

I pray for Guru and wish him a speedy recovery.

Status update: He fought good and he made it:  ”I am doing fine and I am recovering! I’m weak though.” Read more: Guru Issues Official Statement About Health Status

More about Guru at Wikipedia or at MySpace.

Below is my favourite number by Guru. What’s yours? Share in the comments section below…
