MLE Sound Off!

Where they at, where they at, where they at!!!!

2008-08-12T21:16:00.005-05:00

I tried to find the answer to this question by myself....but I'm at a loss and pulling my hair out. Can anybody tell me......Where are all of the decent, respectful men at?? Which way did they go, which way did they go? Did they somehow become extinct with the coming of the new century.....or are they simply played out now like light-skinned brothers. Is it just me, or does it seem like men today have more issues than JET, give me a break!!!!For this piece....I don't even think I have to say much more. Ladies (and men) SOUND OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The First 48 is a goner :(

2008-08-12T20:59:00.004-05:00

Over the past few weeks, I have heard many people's opinions about the discontinuation of filming the First 48 within the city of Memphis. Initially, the concept of the show was to highlight the police department's (201) expertise in solving and managing homicides......however that was not the end result. Many tourists and OUTSIDERS are now viewing Memphis as a city of terror. Hell, after watching the show, there are times that I felt the same way.....Now, that is definitely not the image that we want portrayed when we have made so many strides towards becoming a progressive and growing city...but is it their fault that our citizens give them so much to work with. Now that the First 48 is gone....I know that local and large businesses will be elated at the thoughts of future revenues and colleges will thrive by continuing to recruit the top athletes,.....but I want to know how is this really going to help the crime or will it???? Sound off and let us know your thoughts.

Can Opposites Really Attract??

2008-08-10T21:50:00.003-05:00

Can two people that are from two totally different ends of the spectrum really find true love? Does it really matter if you don't have anything in common? Can you learn to adapt if the bond is real and true or is it simply a wish on a fallen star? Sound off and let us know.....how long can the attraction really last??

What is we gon' do???

2008-08-10T16:52:00.003-05:00

Can we make a decision already, please!!!!!! As you all know, since the development of the Fed-Ex Forum, the beautiful, Egyptian image shaped building has been out of commission. What is the city waiting on.... we have had several people place interest in the Pyramid....their different visions include turning the building into a headquarters for huge corporation such as International Paper and Bass Pro Shop or into a huge theme park and vacation resort....but the most recent vision includes a MEGA CHURCH....Cummings Street Baptist Church, Rev. Gary Faulkner, has placed interest in the building saying that he could use the space so that his members can all have one central location rather than continue to use various satellite locations. Sounds like a lot of great ideas, so what is the hold up. Maybe MLE can help out...post your comments about what you want to happen to the building before its' upkeep becomes the responsibility of the taxpayers.

Mac was being treated for pneumonia and was reported to be in stable condition Thursday. Mac, who had been nominated for an Emmy and Golden Globe for his performances, had suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs. He had said the the condition went into remission in 2005, but was recently hospitalized to be treated for pneumonia. Sources report that he was expected to be discharged from the hospital in the next couple of weeks. Please help us in remembering Bernie Mac.......................Some of his most notable works include (but are not limited to), The Kings of Comedy...who want some milk and cookies, Life...you gon' eat yo cornbread, Friday, How To Be A Player, What's the worst that could Happen, The Bernie Mac Show, Ocean's Eleven, and Charlie's Angels.

Music Legend Passes Away at 65.

2008-08-10T16:23:00.003-05:00

Sources say that a family member found him unresponsive near a treadmill...and was pronounced dead about an hour later at Baptist Memorial Hospital. The cause of this death is currently unknown. Oh, how this truly saddens my heart, my prayers and love go out to the family. Please join us in a moment of silence for the Grammy and Academy award winner, soul legend Issac Hayes.

Who got the shorter end of the stick?

2008-08-06T15:28:00.003-05:00

Finally, the City of Memphis and Memphis City Schools have come to an agreement (out of court) over who will fund the upcoming year's school districts. Yes, most certainly, this deserves a round of applause; but was anybody else shocked at the game of hot potato they played with the children of Memphis' education....But, now that's neither here nor there. I hope all have taken notes on what happens when you put your foot in your mouth and make threats...you end up paying the money out of pocket. - The school district will have to pay $57.5 million from its reserves to pay the city (for a previous debt)...in which the city will then donate the money back to Memphis City Schools.....hilarious..I know...read the CA or watch the news for more information. Now, the question of who is responsible for the funding in the future remains unresolved...stay tuned as the saga continues.

A Different Look.....

2008-07-31T20:35:00.004-05:00

I got this e-mail today and I thought that I would share it with you all. The e-mail was titled....This is a photo you will never see on ABC, NBC, CBS, MTV, FOX, CNN, BET....so I thought that at least you could see it with MLE. Sound off about your thoughts on the picture....pretty powerful if I do say so myself....

Welcome to the City!!

2008-07-31T20:11:00.002-05:00

Let your frustrations out here and don't worry........your venting is safe with us.....

The Smith's Open Door Policy

2008-07-17T21:20:00.008-05:00

Sound the hounds...America's Cutest Couple is now open to the public....(j/k,lol)...Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith announce that they have an open relationship...What in the world....When did this come about?...What went wrong? They Look so Happy...but then again that might be why. You never really know what it going on behind the scenes do you....no pun intended. Here is Will Smith's statement on open marriage: "In our marriage vows, we didn't say 'forsaking all others.' The vow that we made was that you will never hear that I did something after the fact...If it came down to it, then one spouse can say to the other, 'Look, I need to have sex with somebody. I'm not going to if you don't approve of it - but please approve of it.'"Source: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Marriage Profile. Uggghhhh, that just sounds strange and somewhat premeditated. Those aren't the same wedding vows I remember. I can't see myself like..OK, honey..make me proud or try not to enjoy it too much. I seriously doubt it. I wonder what they would really do if despite the strong urges to have sex the other denied a request..... Sound off and let us know if you could handle the open door policy.

A Tribute to Stevie Wonder

2008-07-13T17:24:00.002-05:00

If you find yourself saying that there is nothing to do in the city.....be sure to check out Memphis Rebirth Entertainment- Rebirth of Soul. They began back in 2007 showcasing various music legends, by using the melodic performing talents of local artists. These artists honor the soul prodigies through song, spoken word, and instrumentation. This past Saturday, they held a Tribute to Stevie Wonder that was out of this world. It featured the local talents of Shawna P, Karen Brown, Cassie Bonner, and Will Graves. There was a soothing yet energizing vibe filling the New Daisy as the performances had couples two-stepping in the aisles and kept every one's heads nodding and hands clapping....some artists were even called back to the stage because the crowd couldn't get enough. Be sure to check back for the next showcase as they are held bi-monthly. In September, look for a Tribute to the Men of Stax....what more can you ask for. Thanks again to the founders and sponsors of Memphis Rebirth for keeping the love of music alive.

Will Obama lose supporters??

2008-07-11T20:24:00.002-05:00

Can't we all just get along? What happened to uniting together to make a change....The other day, the honorable Reverend Jesse Jackson was accidentally recorded ( he thought the mic was off) making a very inappropriate and roguish comment about Senator Obama's testicles (lol, shocking I know...I thought the same thing). He was caught saying, " I want to cut his nuts off". What in the world would possess the Reverend to take it there? I understand that he may have some concerns and frustrations about Obama's stance on several issues surrounding the African American community....but dang? Let us know your views on the situation.

Times have Changed!!

2008-07-11T19:54:00.006-05:00

Why in the world are the tabloids publicizing and highlighting Jamie Lynn Spears'(Brittney's 17-year old sister) pregnancy, baby showers, new baby and family photos for all children to see.....like she is not the role model to many and Nickelodeon star of Zoey 101. How does this help the kids? What message does this send to other teens and children about abstinence and premarital sex? What makes this situation different? ..........hum.......is it because she is Brittney's sister..either way it goes, it's a shame...Although, it's irrelevant to the topic....I want to know would the media and everyone be as considerate and understanding if it was Raven Simone....for some reason I don't think so.......

Weezy Baby!!!

2008-07-11T19:07:00.003-05:00

Lil' Wayne has got people of all ages and all around the world singing about lollipops. He sold over one million units in one week ....and has been deemed the greatest rapper of all times.........Now, I am a true to heart fan of Lil' Wayne and have been down since the Hot Boys Era.......but is he really the greatest of all times? What do you think? Is he is the greatest rapper of all times or the hottest rapper of this time? Sound Off!!!

#1 Draft Pick

2008-07-04T20:55:00.003-05:00

Congrats to the Memphis Tigers' very own, Derrick Rose for going #1 in the 2008 NBA Draft. He will be heading back home to play with the legendary, Chicago Bulls. But, it doesn't stop there, the Tigers ran away with the show. Teammates, Joey Dorsey also went to the Trail Blazers at No. 33 and Chris Douglass Roberts will be going to the New Jersey Nets with the 40th overall pick. The new squad will definitely have some big shoes to fill. MLE looks forward to what the new season will bring. Will we have another dream team for 2008-9? Only time will tell, sound off on your thoughts for the upcoming season.

Happy 4th of July

All I can say is wow (wow)!!!!! There were so many powerful acts to fill the Cannon Center tonight, it was bananas :Marvin Dixon (hilarious) , Ray Lavender, and of course, the one everyone came to see, Lyfe Jennings. Lyfe's performance had people standing to their feet, swaying side to side, and chanting for more as he delighted the crowd with his melodic flow and creative style. Thanks for a great show!! Big Ups to Quinton and all other sponsors for putting the event together.
