Well I’ve been geekin’ out on the olympics here lately. I watched the opening ceremony Friday night at Ten Sports bar as Dj Love played some cool hip hop in the background. The opening ceremony was crazy-dope; they took it to another level (literally). Also, there it has been rumored that some of the opening ceremony fireworks were fake?!
So I’ll be writing small posts from time to time as I watch the 2008 olympics and talk about what I find funny and interesting…

Isaac Lee Hayes, Jr. [August 20, 1942 – August 10, 2008] was an American soul and funk singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, arranger, composer, and actor. Hayes was one of the main creative forces behind southern soul music label Stax Records, where he served as both an in-house songwriter and producer with partner David Porter during the mid-1960s. In the late 1960s, Hayes became a recording artist, and recorded successful soul albums such as Hot Buttered Soul (1969) and Black Moses (1971) as the Stax label’s premier artist. Alongside his work in popular music, Hayes was a film score composer for motion pictures. His best known work, for the 1971 blaxploitation film Shaft, earned Hayes an Academy Award for Best Original Song (the first Academy Award received by an African-American in a non-acting category) and two Grammy Awards. He received a third Grammy for the album Black Moses. In 1992, in recognition of his humanitarian work, he was crowned an honorary king of Ghana’s Ada district. From 1997 to 2006, he provided the voice for the character “Chef” on the Comedy Central animated TV series South Park. Hayes was found unconscious in his home located just east of Memphis, Tennessee on August 10, 2008 as reported by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department. A Shelby County Sheriff’s deputy responded to Hayes’ home after his wife found him on the floor near a still-running treadmill. Hayes was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, where he was pronounced dead at 2:08pm.
