January 15th marks the day that Public Enemy, Too $hort, Cypress Hill, Tha Dogg Pound, Mellow Man Ace, Sir Jinx, Kid Frost, the L.A. Posse and The Egyptian Lover will put on a free concert on Skid Row in L.A.
The event, which takes place on Martin Luther King Day from 1:30-5:30, was organized by long-time activist Chuck D. and hip-hop producer/Skid Row activist General Jeff. The concert is being put on in hopes that it will bring awareness to the public about homelessness in L.A. and other areas of the U.S.
Another goal for the event is to persuade radio stations to support local artists and play their music, through a movement called "Occupy the Radio.
The public is urged to come out and show support- will you?

Debbo Gro, - Loved, loved, loved these pictures. I oeklod at the picture of Judah running with his tongue out and that was my favorite. Got to the one where you were all jumping and that was my favorite. The one where you two are doing the sparklers, the one with the the kids jumping, Norman walking you down the aisle, your mom and you-they were all my favorites. Fabulous!!!

After some ruminations the old penny dropped .What does a narcotic do? It numbs the senses hence number.re 3 down: this is a goodie- and I think it goes like this: thus = so . Drinking in the sense of consuming during break = in gap gives sINGAPothen one left wine = riesling minus i gives resling and so finally singapore sling re 1 across: this one didn't quite gel for me . Maybe the handy = close at hand referring to East Timor's proximity to Australia. and deficit chiefly could be shortfall the chiefly indicating most of the letters in that word
