“A Beer With..” S2E3: Baratunde Thurston
Baratunde, one of the most viral people on the internet, digital capo for The Onion, author, and recent magazine cover boy drops by for a pint and some conversation. We discuss his upcoming book “How To Be Black”, calling out social media “gurus”, #BlackTwitter, and a lot of other stuff.
This is the best episode we’ve done. More to come.
Very funny. Very timely. Watch.
I’ll tell you this much. With D’Angelo, the four songs I’m not drumming on are the songs I’m jealous of. Bill Withers’ former drummer, James Gadson—71-year-old cat—is playing this rhythm and the final result was just, I’ve never been so jealous at not being part of the creative process. James Gadson is like my hero. I’m willing to risk lack of sleep just so I can be part of history.
