Harry Belafonte, singer, actor and activist, has died at age 96

This makes me so sad. Sure he was old, but still, it's a big loss for the world to lose such an amazing man.

I admired him since I was very young. Reading about him in some of the few pieces on Iran who actually covered black activists like him.

His songs, became part of my first love to alternative music (from young teenage boy growing up in southern Iran point of interest) and waa delighted to find his albums at the Västerås StadsBibliotrk in Sweden.

His work to fight injustice didn't stop in US, and he fought with all his power against the apartheid regime of South Africa.

He was a great artist and a great man. R. I. P. Mr. Blafonte and thank you for opening my eyes and ears to a whole new wonderful world of music and widen my my narrow interes in my young days.

Singer, actor and human rights activist Harry Belafonte died Tuesday at age 96 of congestive heart failure. He broke racial barriers and balanced his activism with his artistry in ways that made people around the world listen. Belafonte, who was an EGOT holder for his Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards, died at his home in New York, his publicist announced.

Style, class and charisma: That was Harry Belafonte as a performer. In the 1950s, his recordings for RCA Victor, which included his iconic version of the Jamaican folk song "Day-O" (also known as "The Banana Boat Song") set off a craze for calypso music. With his good looks and his shirt unbuttoned to his chest, audiences — Black and white — adored Belafonte at a time when most of America was still segregated.

Happy April (1st/Fools' Day)

No joke here, but a 4-minute clip which may make you laugh. (Me, every time).
A movie about a couple, scientists, who crash land in Africa in a secluded area.

"The Gods Must Be Crazy (II)": The Honey Badger

I'm going to keep it light, though honestly I was reminded of this honey badger upon seeing an image of DJTJ (sniff sniff)
Ranting and tenacious; could be #GymJordan or #MTG too. Grrrrr. ;) So many criminals & deviants in the #GQP cult!

But if you've never seen politics - or this film - smile... A four-minute clip here, beginning after the plane crashes into a tree.
