Michelle Obama Keeps It Jazzy At The White House
Forgive me for not sounding as impartial and professional as I usually do, but Michelle Obama rocks so friggin' hard right now. Not to be outdone by bringing Stevie Wonder to The White House to "jam it on the one" or introduce many in this nation to their first poetry slam, Michelle Obama took time out to formally introduce The White House Jazz Studio. It's great to see her attempt to demystify Jazz to not be the stuffy music that some of us may have thought it was as children and also having children partake in the affair so that they can enjoy a musical art form that was bred and perfected on this nation's shores. Michelle Obama's words were eloquently stated and beautifully presented, much like the speaker herself.

Blush though I may: she's been amazingly impressive hasn't she?
