HEY OUTSTAGRS!
ITS TIME!!
TO GET ON STAGE!!
Black History Month, or National African American History Month, is an annual celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. history. The event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating black history.

ILLI MO SPOTLIGHT
This Sunday, the focus will be on the East Coast with
the Superbowl with the Seattle Seahawks against The
Denver Broncos. Our question is, are there any players
on either team who are from the Illinois and/or Missouri
area who will be in attendance. And the answer is YES.
Here are those players:
On the DENVER side its Sylvester Williams an American
Mo.
AND
Marquice Jermal Cole [Mar-KWEECE] an American
Broncos the National Football League. He was signed by
from Hazelcrest, Ill.
ON THE SEATTLE side its O'Brien Schofield an American
them. He attended North Chicago Community High School.
But we all know the focus will be on Seattle's Richard
Sherman to see if he gets turned up again....CBS we are
sure are thanking him for his emotional release because
it knows he will be a ratings winner as people will
already be watching....now they will be watching for any
outbursts.
UPDATE: CONGRATS TO SEATTLE and its only ILLI MOian linebacker O'Brien Schofield who picked up a tackle for loss with about five minutes left in the fourth quarter of the Superbowl where they won 43-8,
Last Sunday at the Grammy Awards at Nokia Theatre in
Hollywood the highlights were Beyonce's sexy opening of
the show, Pharrell's hat, and Macklemore's couples
wedding with Madonna and Queen Latifah. As far as the
winners, the biggest were Macklemore, Daft Punk and
Pharrell all tied with four.....There were two artists from the
ILLINOIS/MISSOURI area who were winners--no, it wasnt
Kanye (who was nominated for two) or Eminem (nominated
for one), but Oak Park, Ill comedian Kathy Griffin and
Chicago native singer Lalah Hathaway. Griffin won for Best
Comedy Album for "Calm Down Gurrrl" after being
nominated six consecutive times prior. Hathaway won for
Best R&B Performance with the jazz band Snarky Puppies
for a remake of her song "Something."
TRIVIA: Lalah is in a rare category of a child of a parent
to have won Grammy Awards. Her late father R&B
singer/producer Donny Hathaway won a Grammy in 1973
for Best Pop Duo or Group Performance with Roberta
Flack for the song, "Where is the Love". The others are
Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole (father/daughter) and
Bob Dylan and his son Jakob Dylan of the Wallflowers.

They were created in Buffalo, New York. The residents of Buffalo generally refer to them as "wings" or "chicken wings" and never use the term "hot wings" or "Buffalo Wings" to describe them.[2]\

Why didnt Kendrick Lamar win any of his seven nominations? Why did Pharrell wear that huge hat? Why does LL Cool J always panders to Taylor Swift? And why was she up in the front dancing blocking peoples view of the show? Why was she bobbing her head back and froth while she was performing at the piano? And why didnt her people do the fake out like she did when she didnt win Album of the Year? Why does Pink continues to do her circus rope act during her performances? Why wasnt the Isley Brothers given recognition for their Hall of Fame award? Why did Madonna bring her adopted son t the Grammy Awards? Why did Queen Latifah do the officiating of the couples ceremony? And why did Macklemore go on Twitter to tweet to Kendrick Lamar that he was sorry he robbed him of the Rap Album award?
Why was POTUS' speech already on the Internet before he spoke it? And why were the Repblicans rebuttles already on Twitter before their time? Why arent people allowed to park at the stadium in New Jersey for the Superbowl? Why was Atlanta unprepared for the ice storm it had? Why did CNN post the video of the toddler cussing ut his parents? And why were his parents egging the child to cuss? Why are people up in arms over an interracial couple in the new Cheerios commercial?
