RIP Yusef Lateef

[Prospero]

Another great jazzman gone...Yusef Lateef who virtually invented the notion of fusion.

The African American musician was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee and converted to the Ahmadiya sect of islam in 1950 at the age of 30. (The Ahmadiya are widely considered improper Moslems because they believe in a prophet after Mohammed. They are persecuted in Pakistan and other places. They preach a message of "Love for all, hate for none" which Lateef characterised in his music.) RIP Yusuf.

No Disrespect to the dead, but i think there should be another section for these kind of threads, where members can discuss topics other than porn.

I'm trying to understand how this could be a problem but I don't get it. Is there something wrong w/ your scroll function? There's plenty of porn/TS topics on here that I'm not the least bit interested in. When I see a thread titled Show us pictures of gnarly lookin dudes sucking a dick or wearing women's clothes I couldn't possibly care less and just scroll right on by. On the other hand, there's an abundance of non porn/TS topics on music or various current events and pop culture themes that are in fact more interesting than many of the porn threads.
FYI...you're not required to open and read every thread
