Stone Broken are a 4-piece hard
rock band from Walsall, UK.
Formed in late 2013 from the
fragments of 2 local bands, Rich,
Kieron, Chris & Robyn, have formed a dynamic out-
fit that delivers a fat sound with huge choruses.
They self-released their debut EP – The Crow Flies
– in 2014, with the video for ‘Let Me Go’ achiev-
ing cult status in the UK with over 14,000 plays,
across YouTube & Facebook.
Stone Broken signed a management deal with
TMR Band Services in October 2015 and just a
month later announced their debut album, ‘All In
Time’, will be released worldwide on Friday 29th
January 2016.
‘All In Time’ features 10 tracks in total; 5 from the
original The Crow Flies EP, and 5 brand new songs,
all produced and fully remastered by Romesh
Dodangoda (Motorhead, Bring Me The Horizon,
Bullet For My Valentine).
Stone Broken released ‘Stay All Night’ as the first
official single from ‘All In Time’ on Friday 27th
November. It was accompanied by a video pro-
duced by Video Ink and has already achieved over
12,000 plays across YouTube and Facebook.
The band will be re-releasing the video for ‘Let
Me Go’, featuring the remastered audio later in
December.
Frontman, Rich Moss said: “We originally went
back to Romesh at Longwave to record a second
EP but upon hearing the results of both sessions
together they just cried out to be put together as
a single album. So we asked Romesh to work his
magic and he remastered all 10 tracks together
to make them sonically tight. In all honesty, it’s
turned out fantastically well and we can’t wait
to share it with everyone.”. He continued, “Stay All
Here’s some of the early feedback for “Stay All Night”
“It’s catchy as hell, has big chunky riffs with a devas-tating lead guitar - 5/5”David Farrell – Planet Mosh
“This is proper rock n’ roll the way it should be made. Ballsy, bold and tighter than a drum and has your head nodding from the get go.”Adam Onslaught - Metal Nation Radio
“They sound superb.”Scott Munro – TeamRock
“Stone Broken have it all. Huge chunky riffs, massive infectious choruses & killer production. Definitely one of the strongest heavy rock bands currently on the circuit. Ones to watch!”johnny Doom – Kerrang! Radio

The Painting and The Piano is an improbable story of survival and love.
Growing up more than a thousand miles apart and worlds away from each other,
Johnny and Adrianne seemed to have all that a child could ask for. However, the demons of their respective mothers would tear their young, fragile lives apart.
Eventually, destiny would bring Johnny and Adrianne together, but first they had to endure the painful toll that alcohol, drugs, and a negligent court system would take on them. With parts of Adrianne’s story ripped from national news headlines, their story takes them from the depths of despair and near death, to their first serendipitous introduction and the moment each knew they were finally safe.
Filled with hope, inspiration and humor, The Painting and The Piano is an unforgettable story of pain, loss and the undy-ing human quest for happiness. Told as a tandem narrative, Adrianne and Johnny’s stories are unique, but share parallels that create a taut and emotionally compelling narrative.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS:Johnny and Adrianne reside in South Florida with their Yorkie,
Holly. Both are involved in the AA/Recovery community. Adrianne currently works at a recovery house and Johnny con-tinues speaking, sponsoring and helping others in recovery.
Praise for The Painting and The Piano:
“Two adults overcome damaging childhoods and addictions to find each other and rebuild their lives together in this affecting debut memoir.” - Kirkus Reviews.
“Have you ever read a book, that upon finishing, you just knew would be a story that would stay with you for a long, long time? Well, that certainly was the case for me when I finished the last words of The Painting and The Piano… Authors John Lipscomb and Adrianne Lugo have done a splendid job in telling their unique stories in a wonder-fully intertwined way that pulls them both together. The stories, though difficult, are told delicately, and will grab readers from the very beginning. I was unable to put down this book until the very end…” - Reviewed by Tracy Slowiak for Readers’ Favorite.

From the sunny shores of a Floridian sky to the
ears and eyes of a worldwide audience BWD has
grown from an acorn of an idea into an oak tree
of industry-might, its roots deep within the strata
of social sites and online promotions, its branch-
es far-reaching and bearing fruitfulness aplenty.
Starting out developing websites Ms. Keach aka Ms. V proved her-
self more guru than mere graphic designer, her final works forging
a reputation of being the go-to girl for all things attention grab-
bing and intuitive.
Quickly she began laying the foundations for what would become
her own empire, reputation growing with each engagement and
the horizon of possibilities expanding even further than first
dreamed.
Whilst making some of the connections that would see BWD
become a leader in its field murmurings and mutterings regarding
the state of the music business came filtering through the wire.
Listening to the sounds of discontent chattering in the background
it became clear that, for all the talented individuals with credible
worth vying for the attentions of a label or promoter, those in the
Industry were more concerned with how profitable a bottom-line
they could wring from their talents than the merits and music of
the people themselves.
An avid appreciator of new and classic music Veralyn saw a gap
in the market for someone with the knowledge and nous, con-
nections and cunning, and - of course - the dedication to provide
a credible alternative to those as-yet unsigned greats of music, a
platform for them to launch themselves into the airwaves and soar
into the charts.
With each passing year BWD has grown in both experience and
influence, the listening world turning up the dial to be the first to
hear the latest unsigned extravagances of talent bursting from the
underground and across a global stage.
Not only affording the world of music a genuine outlet to purvey
it’s unbridled talents BWD Radio also promotes and inspires the
musicians it unveils, the multi-faceted nature of BWD incorporat-
ing all avenues of generating awareness and recognition to the
talents it reveals, encouraging the growth of their fan-base and
helping propel them onto the iPods and bedroom walls of a global
audience.
With the recent successful launch of the BWD Radio app the audi-
ence all artists are looking to find are as close as they have ever
been, right on the other side of millions of touch-screens and
monitors, smart-phones and tablets all bearing the app’s visage
across their surface.
Now a major player in the world of radio and media, the leader in
the field of generating buzz around the artists it plays on its non-
stop, commercial free station, and proudly wearing the banner of
being The Home Of The Indie Artists BWD founder Ms. V has proven
you don’t need a thousand lawyers fighting over who gets the
best parking spot in front of offices to forge a dominant empire
of multi-faceted out-lets; as the late great British entertainer Roy
Castle once said ‘Dedication’s all you need’.

avvy, fun, creative, adventurous, determined and delightfully
unexpected are a good start, but adjectives begin to run out
well before facets of SaraBeth’s artistry do. A force-of-nature
Texan who is already building a meaningful presence as a
singer, songwriter and entertainer, she is a virtual lock to take
the next step – if only because she hasn’t missed one yet.
Earning fans one show at a time, landing considerable regional media exposure,
scoring two nationally charted singles, developing a base in her native Texas,
expanding it nationally and even internationally with a successful U.K. Tour in
2014, SaraBeth has made astounding strides in a very short time. And the release
of her self-titled EP and aggressive first single “I’m Sick Of It” will surely carry her
even further. Unusually, however, for someone who’s gone all-in as an artist, music
wasn’t her life’s goal.
Raised in the Dallas area, SaraBeth found joy in music, to be sure. “I always loved
singing,” she says. “My first song was ‘Frosty the Snowman’ and my mother says it
wasn’t annoying at all when I sang it for the 500th time. Not to mention Lambchop’s
“The Song that Never Ends”, “Lord help my parents and grandparents,” she laughs.
Despite her appreciation for music and a good bit of education and practice
through her childhood, it never seemed a likely destination. A self-professed nerd
who loved school, SaraBeth attended Baylor majoring in entrepreneurship. “My
thought was to go be a power business woman, which probably would have landed
me in real estate. But I knew I wouldn’t be able to sit in a cubicle or behind a desk.
From the age of 15 through college I was a waitress and being up, moving and talking
to people seemed to fit me better. It was more fun.”
SaraBeth paid her way through college and spent the summer after graduation
teaching music in the Dominican Republic. “That was the best experience of my life,”
she says. “There’s so much you can do with an entrepreneurship degree, but being
fluent in Spanish gave me that opportunity. When the music teacher dropped out and
they asked me, it was a nudge toward music. Then my brother got drafted by the St.
Louis Cardinals, and I started thinking. I realized I didn’t want to look back and wonder
what would have happened if I had tried. Instead of spending the rest of my life won-
dering, I headed to Nashville and tried to learn as much as I could as fast as I could.”
Country music was not just the obvious choice; it was the only choice. SaraBeth’s
parents listened to light Rock and Christian music. Her father sang low bass in
his college gospel group. “I have vivid memories of him popping in a cassette and us
singing along to ‘Step Into The Water’ on repeat,” she says. “But the moment I really
fell in love with music is when I found my great grandmother’s cassettes of Patsy Cline
and Alan Jackson. I played them so much at her house that eventually she was like,
‘You can just take these with you.’ On that four hour drive home, I’m pretty sure we
listened to ‘Chattahoochee’ for at least a third of the trip.”
Even on her way to Nashville years later, the concept of a career was far from her
mind. “I thought I would record three songs, cross it off my bucket list and be done,”
she admits. Instead, she caught the bug. “The first stuff I did was so wrong because
I had to unlearn all the classical training I got growing up. It was quite a process.
Self-doubt tries to take over, but you keep going anyway.”
S
“You’re scared and learning, but without any experience you count on oth-
ers and end up taking in a lot of opinions. Eventually you realize that’s
putting you in a box that looks a lot like a cookie cutter. Every day 100 new
singers move into town and getting where you want to go doesn’t mean
sounding like everyone else.”
Writing became a focus and her style evolved to reflect her music col-
lection. “I have everything from Chamber music and Christian to Hip Hop
and Country. We write a lot of stuff with drum loops on the bottom, and we
mix in synthesizer, fiddle and steel, whatever works for the song.”
On her latest collection, SaraBeth collaborated with established writ-
ers: Glen Mitchell, Tim Morgan, Sandy Ramos, Brian Eckert and Gwen
Sebastian. Taken as a whole, the EP is a well-rounded exposition of
who she is, framed by her confident alto.
SaraBeth freshens the rodeo/romance analogy with “You Rock My Ro-
deo” and paints a perfect sound picture of her personality with “Runnin’
Outta Lipstick”, “You Keep Me Smilin’” is as clever and fun as “Do What
You Say You’re Gonna Do” is serious and heartfelt. And the guitar-driven
anthem “I’m Sick Of It” showcases an unbridled aggression that’s more
than welcome in today’s Country music.
The writing session for the single gives a window into her creative
vision. “It was a rainy day and Gwen and I were laughing. She is just a
hoot! Then Glen started playing this angry riff and one of us said, ‘Uh oh,
it sounds like someone is pissed off.’ Someone else said, ‘Fed up.’ And then
we looked at each other and said, ‘Sick of it.’ We wrote it so fast – probably
less than an hour.”
“That’s the most rocking thing I’ve ever done,” SaraBeth adds. “And it gets
great response. I like to have a lot of fun on stage, dance and let the audi-
ence be a part of a good time.” And her ability to connect has gotten un-
likely affirmation ... in the form of one of America’s favorite beverages.

“I’m not a coffee snob, but I do talk about coffee a lot,” she says. “So people
started sending me coffee related things – hats, mugs, and shirts. When I opened
my post office box and started seeing this stuff, I realized I was connecting. They
really are getting to know me as more than a girl they saw singing somewhere.”
On SaraBeth, they’ll get to know her even better, particularly on the song
“Runnin’ Outta Lipstick.” “I’m known for being a baseball hat nut,” she explains.
“I’ve always been one of those girls who likes to hang out in a rock and roll t-
shirt and converse. Just a chill, all-American girl who can be one of the guys. But
sometimes, I want to put on a black dress and blow them away.” Setting that
dichotomy in even deeper relief is the unexpected turn of phrase that pep-
pers her writing. “We drop in some fun lines like, ‘Slap your mama, drop dead.’
It’s sort of different, but it works.” Or maybe it works because it’s different. Sort
of like SaraBeth.
Welcome! Please introduce us to SaraBeth… I’m just a Texas girl living in a
Tennessee world! I love travelling, coffee, sweatpants, my dog (Dallas), running,
and my stay cool pillow (which may be one of the top 10 greatest inventions
ever).
Tell us how you started out. The turning point from college, business careers
to when your musical journey began. The Epiphany if you will. What inspired/
motivated you to pursue a new career of passion within the realm of Music
& Entertainment? I feel like we all grow up dreaming about what we want to
do. For me, I wanted to be singer...especially when I found out the nurse’s outfit
didn’t look like the Halloween costumes! Eventually I let my own self-doubt get
in the way and decided college and a degree was the right thing to do. I made
the decision to pursue my music dreams again once my younger brother got
drafted to play for the St. Louis Cardinals. He was definitely my inspiration! It’s
been such a fun ride so far! I’m incredibly thankful for everyone who’s helped me
to get where I am! It’s a team effort!
Congratulations on the recent release of your ‘self-titled’ EP and the first
single titled, “I’m Sick Of It”! What was the inspiration behind this particular
track and what can the listeners expect from your sound and storytelling?
Thanks!! Well, it’s rockin’! I wrote this song with Gwen Sebastian and Glen
Mitchell. It was actually the first time we ever wrote together. I remember it was
cold and rainy and we were at my apartment laughing...at nothing really. Natu-
rally 3 laughing people wrote the most angry break-up song they could think of.
We got the inspiration from something that Glen played on the guitar. Gwen said,
“This sounds like someone who’s just sick of it.” And a song was born!
Tell us more about your self-entitled EP! Which singles are closer to your
heart and why? As well as, how many tracks are on the EP? I titled this EP
“SaraBeth” because it’s the first project I’ve put out where I co-wrote all the songs.
I finally understand what people mean when they use the phrase “I’ve grown as
an artist.” Glen Mitchell also co-wrote all the songs and produced the EP (and
played all the guitar parts. He’s a talented dude). We had fun and experimented
with different sounds. Each of the songs is special to me for a different reason.
If you ask for my favorite today, it’ll change by tomorrow!
Share with us some of your Musical Influences while growing up and what
and or who inspires you to be the artist that you are today? Shania Twain and
The Dixie Chicks were pretty much all you would find in my 5 disc CD changer in
high school...a little Michelle Branch too!
What had first seemed to be the most unlikely genre of music for you to write
and sing; what moved your heart to pursue a career in Country music; even
though you were exposed to Light Rock, Christian, etc. music while growing
up? Oh, and we ‘must not’ forget about “Frosty The Snowman” either! ;)
The first CD I ever owned was Alan Jackson’s greatest hits and a Patsy Cline
album. They may have actually been cassette tapes. I wore them out! My family
has a very eclectic taste in music. I grew up singing at the Garland Opry, and just
loved the lyrics of country music. To me, country music is about telling a story. It
talks about the good, the bad, and the ugly, but they’re real life things that hap-
pen to real life people. They’re songs that make you dance and others that make
you cry because you can relate.
As a vocalist, writer, and entertainer; what do you feel have been some your
greatest accomplishments? Everything that’s happened in my music career
feels a little surreal. I’ve had big dreams my entire life, but when those things
start happening you kinda feel like you actually are dreaming. I’ve been able to
write with some absolutely amazing people Glen Mitchell (Livin’ Our Love Song
by Jason Michael Carroll), Arlos Smith (Mayberry by Rascal Flatts), Dean Sams
(from Lonestar), Sandy Ramos (Let ‘er Rip by the Dixie Chicks). My last EP also hit
the Top 10 on iTunes. I still remember someone sending me the screen shot. I’ve
made so many amazing memories...big and small!
The Guys WILL want to know… So…are you single?! Haha...no one’s put a
ring on it yet!
Where can we go, digitally, to get your awesome music? The best “Google
Keyword” search? My music is available pretty much anywhere...iTunes, Amazon,
Google Play. You can also head over to my website SaraBethMusic.com. If you’re
feeling lucky with Google search SaraBeth Music. I’m not even sure what all
comes up. Probably something embarrassing from high school!
And finally, what’s next for SaraBeth in 2016? Do you have some live events,
music videos, or project happenings that you’d like to share with us? Any
dates we should be looking to circle on our calendars? There’s a lot on the
horizon. I’ll be heading back in to the studio to release new music. With new
music comes a new single, new video, and tour dates!! I know for sure I’ll be
heading to the UK for 10-12 shows. I haven’t announced those dates yet. I’ve
also got several US dates that I’m excited about! Stay tuned to my website for all
the updates to the tour schedule!

INTRODUCTION
It’s amazing to me to see how many untruths there are within and surrounding the medical profession. Despite the rigors of getting into medical school, its intense curriculum require-ments and long training hours, people listen to TV and movie personalities for advice or some muscle bound trainer who barely got out of high school. Myths, incorrect ideology and even downright corruptible advice to sell something is all around us. For me, one of the biggest TRAGEDIES is running and it almost snuggles up to Shakespeare.
People run for many reasons but none
of them make any sense unless a lion is
in pursuit. Studies have reported that
power walking (get heart rate up) is just
as beneficial health wise as running but
won’t wear out your knees, hips or ankles in the process. So why
do people do it? A false sense of betterment, Pea-cocking, and
forget about those endorphins because these molecules have
been found to be too big to get into the central nervous system
so they don’t effect brain enjoyment.

If you have any doubt about running and
people knowing what they are doing, let’s
look at running sneakers. First there was
the “minimalist” ones, to be followed by
the “maximalist”, to “FAT” soles, to “FLAT”
soles, to the “MIDSOLES” to God knows what’s next. Nobody
knows but everyone is an expert and mostly to sell you footwear.
For you runners out there, I’m sure you are running out of money
and closet space too because of all that footwear. The fact is,
there is no “real” running shoe because you’re “Running out of
Time”.

THE TRUTH
If you want maximum benefit from exercise, “DON’T RUN”.
Power walk to elevate your heart rate and maintain it there for a
total of 3 hours weekly. That’s called, “isometrics”. By the way, you
can break it up 20 minutes here, 30 minutes there, as long as it
adds up to 3 hours weekly. One more thing. It’s been shown that
excessive exercise, running, causes a free radicle avalanche in your
lungs that can lead to pulmonary fibrosis (scarred lungs) so if you
insist on running, make sure that you take a bushel of antioxidants
every day and get that oxygen tank ready! The next time you see
someone running, with their ear buds, think of a large turkey (not a
peacock) whose tail is on fire, heading for that Thanksgiving Table
because that is how they will end up.

BeautY tIPS for CHrIStMaSTips for looking your best on Christmas Eve!
On Christmas Eve many people go out to parties or visit with families. It is a time to be around others and to spread joy. When going out on Christmas Eve a woman wants to look her best. There are some tips to help a woman look great for this special evening. She will be looking as good on the outside as she is feeling on the inside.
Do Not Forget SunscreenWhen the temperature is cold and winter has arrived many peo-ple do not think that sunscreen is needed. This is a big mistake. Just because a person is not spending hours outdoors does not mean the rays of the sun do not reach them. Every time a person is heading outside they need to apply sunscreen. This is impor-tant to do even on cloudy days. Sunscreen will help keep the body protected and will also help keep the skin looking great.
Use Lip ColorIn the winter lips tend to dry out. They can become cracked which can be painful at times. Adding Chap Stick will help hydrate the lips but often Chap Stick does not come in a color. For Christmas Eve a lip shade with a little color is going to be needed. To keep the lips hydrated while still looking good select a lipstick that has moisturizing properties. Usually this information can be found right on the package. Popular colors for Christmas Eve include pinks, reds, and even a coral tone. A little bit of lip gloss can also be applied for an extra shine.
ExfoliateExfoliating the skin will help keep it looking fresh. When a person
exfoliates they are removing dead skill cells that look tired and
dull. Once these skin cells are removed a layer of new and fresh
cells will appear. These skin cells will help a person stay look-
ing great. A person should exfoliate around the holidays at least
twice a week. This can be done with scrubs that are purchased
or made at home. This will also help open the pores and allow
dirt and other build up to be removed. Exfoliating will help keep
the skin firm, help instantly lighten the skin complexion and
make the skin look good and fresh. By the time Christmas Eve
comes around the woman will be looking her best at the party.
De-stressThe holiday time can be very stressful. There is so much to do and
there is limited time to get it down. Also everything is very expen-
sive which can put a big dent in finances. In order to stay looking
good for Christmas Eve it is important to handle this stress. There
are procedures that can help a person relax. A massage is a great
way to unwind. When a person is not feeling stress their skin will be
healthy looking and they will have a glow. When feeling the holiday
pressure take a minute and do something to help get rid of the stress.
Stay HydratedWhen a person goes out for the holidays including Christmas Eve they
may have an adult beverage or two. Or several. Alcohol dehydrates
the skin making it look tired and dull. A person needs to remember
to drink plenty of water. This will replenish the body and allow the
skin to stay healthy. Water is important for the glowing look as well.
A person should increase their water intake to help keep the skin
looking good especially if they know they are going to be celebrating.
Do Not Overdo ItAs a woman is preparing for this night she may add additional
steps and products to her skin care routine. This is something
that should not be done. Adding additional products can irri-
tate the skin and cause redness. She should stick with her usual
ways. It is also important to keep up with this routine. Around
the holidays there is so much to do that things often get over-
looked. She should continue to clean her face and skin as normal.
This is one thing that she cannot lax in. If a woman is looking
to brighten her skin she can use a skin brightening product.
The best skin brightener can help instantly lighten the skin
complexion and make the skin look new and fresh once again.
These are just some of the beauty tips out there to stay looking great on Christmas Eve. This day is to celebrate with friends and family and following these beauty tips will help a person look their best.

We have often heard about the trials, tribulations and hardships of being
an independent music artist. Many will tell you it is no less difficult being
an independent film maker. From finding the players to scouting locations
and just getting the funding to fulfil your vision, these and other issues can
all trip you up individually needless to say what any combination can do
to thwart your best efforts. Recently we caught up with a successful indie
film maker to discuss his history and current projects. May we introduce
you to Dexter Tucker…
My name is Dexter Tucker, I am from Atlanta, Georgia. I’ve been doing
stand-up comedy for the last 13 years. I am a film maker as well. I’ve
just finished my second film, my first one was called ‘A Comedy Club
Movie’ we made a classic comedy, good comedy that you will be seeing
on all your digital outlets soon, Netflix, iTunes, Vimeo. And my second
movie is called ‘Jimmy did you get one’? We went in a totally different
direction. This is a horror drama, it’s
very realistic, it’s about…it’s based on
true stories and it’s about abduction,
it’s about child abduction. We’re going
on in this small town and it was going
on for a period of over 10 years and
the police didn’t really have many good
clues and it’s something very real and
near and dear to my heart. I did a lot of
research on it and every forty seconds
in the US a child becomes missing or
abducted and we see Amber Alerts and
things like that but after a day or so you
don’t see it anymore. You never know if
that child got found, and a lot of times
they didn’t and it’s something real. I grew up in Atlanta during the child
missing and child murders. I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of that but I
grew up in the middle of that. I was grade school age and you know
walking home from school and playing outside and every time we go
in the house and watch the news there was another child found dead
and that was for a period of almost like around 2 years I think. That
was real scary times in Atlanta so I wanted to make something deep.
I wanted to make some good, positive movies along with my partner
Jerry May… we are trying to put out great movies. We’re trying to follow
the footsteps of great film makers like Robert Townsend, Tyler Perry, F.
Gary Gray, and Spike Lee.
That is so commendable and you know what, we need more of that in the
Black community but now let me ask you this: how do you transition from
doing a movie about comedy to doing a movie about child abuse, kidnap-
ping, and what was the thought process that happened in-between there?
Well actually what happened was the first movie I did… I was doing
stand-up like I said and I saw it wasn’t a real outlet for comedians like
it used to be maybe ten - twenty years ago when they had DEF Comedy
Jam and they had Comic View and all these different outlets, they don’t
have anymore. I worked with a lot of funny guys over the last ten years
at that time and all over the country and they were hilarious but you
know they were only doing these small rooms and there’s pretty much
the chitlin circuits. So I said the best way for me to help them and to
help myself and do my first film is to get some of these funny, hilari-
ous guys in a film and let them shine. So I did that, wanted to make a
classic and I think we succeeded in that.
Upon finishing that I met Jerry May and
he came on to help me edit the movie
at the end. So as he edited the movie
and I saw how good he was at what he
did. Jerry had the idea about Jimmy…
Jimmy was his idea. He originally started
writing the movie and I came on and
continued to write because writing and
directing is my forte. I always thought
I’d be a good filmmaker because I
always knew what I wanted to see in a
movie - I’m just like a big movie buff and
I always knew what I needed to see in a
movie. I felt like I knew what was miss-
ing for us. We’re a big market, we spend a lot of money, and we end up
going to watch stuff that we don’t even like, that’s really not for us, but
we still want to go to the movies and we watch a lot of television as
well. So that’s how we came about Jimmy, that was Jerry’s idea… he’s a
brilliant film maker and director and editor and writer as well. Getting
a strong team together was Godsend because he and I together made
a great team.

That’s awesome, and I find this happens a lot when you’re in a position where
someone can help you do one thing you find that they can open up so many
creative doors for you. They just bring something out of you that makes you
able to cross boundaries and do different things and that’s what it kind of
sounds like to me. Like Jimmy…I’m sorry, like the movie Jimmy, but what is
the guy’s name again?
Jerry May
Jerry May, alright because I was thinking Jimmy [laughter].
Another Jerry May production
It sounds like Jerry kind of tapped into that with you, like he was able to open
up a different way for you to look at things and that you guys were able to.
He did, he did and I’m so glad that I met Jerry because once we started
working on this you know I had…it really touched me because like I said
growing up in Atlanta when the child murder thing was going on, I know
how it felt on both sides, the fear in the community; and in the movie
‘Jimmy did you get one’ we come in at you from three different angles.
We come in at you from the police investigation, from this family how
they feel and how helpless they feel, the community how they feel about
children coming up missing and they have…they feel helpless about it and
also from Jimmy’s point of view from him going out doing the abductions
but no one knows who is doing them so... It’s a really good movie, I am
excited, and I really can’t wait for everybody to see it.
Wow. Yes it sounds a little bit like ‘Silence of the lambs’ meets ‘Boys in the
hood’...I am so, so, so looking forward to seeing it, and I promise you that I
will. Now, are you still doing stand-up comedy?
Yes, I am, I’m still doing comedy, and I’m on the road most weekends. I just
came back from L.A. I hosted the NAFCA: African International Oscars, with
African international beauties along with Omarosa, she was my co-host
and that was great. Yeah they honoured…oh my God, what’s her…Florence
from ‘The Jeffersons’ name…Florence Johnston {Marla Gibbs}, they hon-
oured her, they honoured Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs and they honoured
James Brown as well and they gave out all the awards for the international
movies and that was great, that was probably one of the biggest shows
I’ve done in my career and I’ve been touring doing comedy clubs the last
ten years so yeah I still love comedy but the film making was always my
goal from the beginning.
Omarosa was nice man…that was my first time meeting her.
Now I need you to tell me about Omarosa. What was that like?
You know what? I had never met Omarosa. I met her for the first time
where we did a little rehearsal and we hosted the show Saturday night
and she was really nice, she was fun, she had a great sense of humour
and that’s right up my alley and we played off each other well and we
kept the crowd laughing. I like Omarosa, she’s really cool. You know she
is a character, she is a character. I mean when I met her, I mean I didn’t
take her serious not one second ‘cause she joked around the whole time.
She’s a character.
I’ll accept that, we’ll accept that, everybody listening in, did you all hear that?
We have to stop hating on Omarosa because she ain’t that evil that she was
on Wendy Williams Show.
Nah, she’s not. She had her mother with her. Shout out to Mama Rosa that
she called her Mama Rosa. Her mother was with her at all times, she was
cool, I didn’t know what to expect, I’m a comedian so I was going to adapt
to whatever, but she was cool, she really was.
Now let me ask you this question, cause I know you get this question a whole
lot. Do you know what the question is? **Morpheus voice**. Do you know the
question? [Laughter]
What question?
Come on now.
What’s the question?
Are you Chris Tucker’s brother?
Yeah I’m Chris tucker’s brother, a matter of fact I just walked out the house
outside so I can hear you guys, he’s in the house right now running his big
mouth. Yeah that’s my brother..
Oh wow. So now as you being a comedian and he’s a comedian, how hard is it
like to make your own way in comedy?
Well, when I started doing comedy you know I started late. Comedy is all
Chris ever did. He did it right out of high school you know. I always sup-
ported him but I did a lot of other things.

I went to college and I had a trucking company…real estate throughout
my 20s. When I got right around 30 I was like oh man I want to have some
fun this isn’t what life’s all about. So everybody was always trying to get
me to do comedy so I started doing it but I respected the game. I knew
you couldn’t just jump on that stage and be good right way, it takes time,
cause I watched…I remember when Bruce Bruce was getting started and
Earthquake and all those guys. I watched them. I went the route, I did the
same clubs, did the same underground spots got booze, everything, and so
I earned the respect of the comedians first in the underground, in Atlanta
first. So I didn’t try to just cut me in off his name and just try to shine and
people put me on shows just because of the Tucker name, sell a few extra
tickets, naw you’re not going to embarrass me, I took my time and paid my
dues… a lot of people thought well you’re just trying to do this because
your brother is…naw I’m doing it because I’m a hustler and it looked like
a good way to go, it’s better than the job I had.
Well you know, I have to answer that because I actually did do comedy a few
times I had one of my…well one of my friends his name is Rasheed he was a
very big comedian and he was coming up and I remember him when we were
young and he was just trying you know, when the teeth were bad.
Rasheed that passed?
Yes sir
Yeah, I {knew} Rasheed, yeah…
He’d been a very, very good friend of mines, as a matter of fact I was with him
the week that he passed away and he put me on the stage and also another
good friend of mine is Brooklyn Mike, I don’t know if you’re familiar with
Brooklyn Mike.
Brooklyn Mike, yeah I knew all the comedians, over thirteen years I met
them all…
Yeah and he also put me on the stage and I tell you something to all the
listeners that are listening, it is totally a science to do a stand-up. You have
to have timing; you have to have…you have to be funny but more important
your timing is everything, who knew that!
It’s an art, it’s a craft definitely, and I mean what we call…being cook-out
funny and hitting that stage is two totally different things. You’re going
to get booed, you got to keep going out there, and you got to build your
set. People would be surprised how long it takes to get a 20 minute set,
until you get a good solid 15-20 minute set then you’re not going to make
any money. You can be an opening act once you get like 15-20 minutes,
but when I tell you it takes like 5-6 years maybe to get that, people are
surprised. Now you see somebody on TV doing like a 5 minute set okay,
but 20 minutes is a long time.
Tell everybody the name of the movie again.
Okay the name of the movie is ‘Jimmy Did You Get One’? We do have a
website that you can go on and look at clips of the movie: http://www.
jimmydidyougetone.com/ and also you can look for the ‘Comedy Club’; you
can YouTube trailers of both of them. I also have a radio show on Internet
Radio http://www.404live.com/ which is a relationship based…relation-
ship forum show where people send their letters in and we have forums
and we can talk about relationship issues. It’s very funny.
Well Mr. Tucker it’s been great speaking with you, thank you for your time!
Thank you for having me.

Recently I heard my 4 year old daughter cry-ing in her room. I kept calling her and asking why she was crying but she kept on.
Eventually, I found out her drawer would not fit back into her dress-er so she thought she must have broken it.
She tried to fix it on her own but was unable to and so she started to cry.
When I figured out why she was crying, I said “You should have just come to me and said ‘Mum, I think my drawer is broken, and I’d have fixed it for you.” Eventually, that is what I did.
It got me thinking, ‘how many times we try to fix things on our own without calling out to God for help!’ Our Heavenly Father is just waiting for us to reach out to Him and ask for help!
This is for everyone reading this! Be encouraged! He can fix it!
Call on Him! Run to Him! Cry out to Him! He can handle it! He is able!
“Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” (Psalms 50:15 NKJV)
You can do all things through Christ. You can make it, you have what it takes.

ixty-Nine Crash is a Sleaze/Hard Rock band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2013, they were formed by three friends: Jay B Roxx on vocals/guitar, Davis Ramay on guitar and Andy
Carvalho on bass.
Their passion for music, especially the 80’s hair metal bands like KISS and Mötley Crüe, along with the mix of 2000’s European Hard Rock scene; including Crashdïet, Santa Cruz, and a little bit of pop accent is what makes this band’s sound different from any other.
In 2014, Sixty-Nine Crash released their first album, in digital format, titled “LOUDER!” which was produced by Celo Oliveira; a well-known Brazilian metal musician and producer.
In early 2015, Demon Doll Records invited them to be a part of their team and released the physical album including ‘Rebel Yell’ (Billy Idol cover) as a bonus track.
“If you are looking for what might be the next Glam Rock trea-sure”, says Demon Doll Records, “then don’t pass up on this chest - open it up & let SIXTY-NINE CRASH shine in their true Hard Rock light! Highly recommended listening!”
Currently, Sixty-Nine Crash’s music is playing at numerous
international stations throughout the USA, Europe, Australia, and Brazil.
Sixty-Nine Crash just released their video for the new single ‘Everything I Need’, which is already becoming a success with more than 1000 views in only four days.
Sixty-Nine Crash is now in the studio rehearsing and prepar-ing for their first worldwide tour.
