In 1989 the Geto Boys released a blistering track, “Size Ain’t Shit,” that paid tribute to the group’s member Bushwick Bill. Born with dwarfism, Bill was one of the few visibly disabled musicians to achieve widespread fame and one of the even fewer to address disability in a direct, sustained manner. Initially hired as a dancer, Bill became central to the Geto Boys as the Houston crew became one of hip-hop’s most important groups. Why Bushwick Bill Matters chronicles this crucial artist and explores what he reveals about the relationships among race, sex, and disability in pop music. Charles L. Hughes examines Bill's recordings and videos (both with the Geto Boys and solo), from the horror-comic persona of “Chuckie” to vulnerable verses in songs such as “Mind Playing Tricks On Me,” to discuss his portrayals of dwarfism, addiction, and mental illness. Hughes also explores Bill’s importance to his era and to the longer history of disability in music. A complex figure, Bill exposed the truths of a racist and ableist society even as his violent and provocative lyrics put him in the middle of debates over censorship and misogyny. Confrontational and controversial, Bushwick Bill left a massive legacy as he rhymed and swaggered through an often-inaccessible world.Mostra libro

Alexander Calder was a tall man who moved lightly and had the fingers of a surgeon, despite his big hands. Although he had a monk´s ability to concentrate, he loved celebrating with his friends. He was a genius, but not a bore, and his death in 1976 left a big gap for many people. His resounding laughter was silenced and those hands that never stood still would no longer form sculptures, but through thousands of turns of wire, he would continue to manifest his respect and joy for things. As long as the air is still moving and the sun is rising and setting to throw light and shadow onto our world, Alexander Calders sculptures will continue to change their appearance and show new views. When he died on November 11 of 1976, the 16,000 pieces he created would turn into transportable trust funds that would decorate both galleries and landscapes.Mostra libro
DJANGO UNCHAINED THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Django Unchained is a 2012 Western film directed by Quentin Tarantino. Set in the pre-Civil War South, it follows Django, a freed slave, who teams up with Dr. King Schultz, a German bounty hunter, to track down the notorious Brittle brothers. As they work together, Django seeks to rescue his wife, Broomhilda, from the brutal plantation owner, Calvin Candie. The film explores themes of slavery, revenge, and justice, with Tarantino’s signature blend of dark humor, stylized violence, and sharp dialogue. It offers a revisionist take on the Western genre, blending historical commentary with cinematic spectacle. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “During the filming of a dinner scene, Leonardo DiCaprio had to stop because he found it difficult to use so many racial slurs. Samuel L. Jackson pulled him aside and told him, "Motherfucker, this is just another Tuesday for us." “Jamie Foxx used his own horse, Cheetah, in the movie, a horse he received as a birthday gift four years prior. “Leonardo DiCaprio was uncomfortable playing such a racist character. However, Tarantino convinced him to portray the character in an even more menacing manner, assuring him that if he didn't take it to the extreme, people would hold it against him forever. “According to critic Alex Ross, the alliance between Django (Jamie Foxx) and Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) is not as unrealistic as it may seem. In the 1840s, many German revolutionaries and progressives left Europe for the U.S., where they often became involved in the anti-slavery movement.Mostra libro
