So, just who is Babsi Pusca? Well, she's the German lead vocalist of the North London band, Pusca. I interviewed Babsi for two reasons: One, I'm into alternative music.

The vocalist discussed the LGBT rights protest statement she made during the 2014 Winter Olympics, held in Sochi, [...]

“’Dang’ man! You look damn good for your age!” That soared out of the mouth of this rather attractive twentysomething guy at a recent function. You see, he thought I was in my early forties; actually, I’m older. (And yo! Don’t even ask me by exactly how much—‘cause I ain’t gonna tell ya! LOL.) After that comment, if he thought [...]
Check me out on Utube, my peoples! I discuss Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPV/A) with the Male Media Mind (M3), a blog “that harnesses the collective creativity of the nerdy” black bear community.
