Michael Jackson and… For a text referring to Brown, Chaka Khan and Reverend Al Sharpton, please click, instead, on the words “soul singer” in the next lines to go to an article by BBC News. Tim Neilson reported for this television service in a video with Michael Jackson and more. Harlem and the Apollo Theater.

01.12.2008 I would like to remember here in this blog the soul singerJames Brown who died on Christmas Day on 2006. The “Godfather of Soul” was 73 and made his debut at a venue. Moreover, the director Spike Lee would have thought of making a film about him and Brown would have approved the use of his own music on the soundtrack. The film should be directed in this year and the project should be overseen by the Oscar-winning producer of A beautiful Mind Brian Grazer.
There’s Nothin’ by the singer Sean Kingston featuring The DEY and Juelz Santana

Ibiza, Bali and snorkelling. How are Ibiza, the White Isle and the Rough Guide to this town? And Indonesia, Bali and the island of Gili Trawangan? Maybe it should not be very far from Lombok and the Padang area of Sumatra and, so far as I know, snorkelling may be practiced there.
The Observer. And have you ever been to the bungalows of the Dream Village or have you read this article in the Observer by Iain Stewart? In the first case I haven’t…
Middle East. Have you ever been to the Medina in Saudi Arabia and its fez? Here a photo and another one or a third one about a fez (I hope – and am sure – the author was not wrong!).

The visit in Noto also includes an image of the San Nicolò Church and a view with some palms. In the very East of Sicily there is also a point of view of Ragusa and completely on the other side of Sicily – Western side near Trapani – a temple in Selinunte, another one in Segesta and salt mills in Mozia. Besides, in Sicily there is always an occasion to see a Madonna and there are also other Sicilian photos, but… another time.

Again Italy. Do you like whales or dolphins in the Ligurian Sea or maybe Basilicata with southern Apennines and “bread from bakeries in Matera, wine from Aglianico and cheese from the mountains”? And do you like this list by The Observer?

Doubles from €110 including breakfast.
Ssese’s Islands. Do you know where the tropical Ssese’s Islands are?

The Nile. And do you know what mzungu means, who Idi Amin is and where Jinja and the Bujagali Falls are? Clues for my question are the Nile and the lakes Nyinambuga and Victoria… Last, but not least, have you ever been to the Ssese Islands Beach Hotel, the Haven, the Ndali Lodge and to the Gately on Nile? Have you ever met South Africans or Americans?
Aircraft. You can fly to Entebbe from Brussels with Brussels Airlines on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10.40 to 19.35; from Amsterdam and from London Heathrow to Entebbe with KLM. Among the other national parks in Uganda there would be the Bwindi Impenetrable national park in the south-west, Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth national parks and “the Foreign Office advises against travel to the Karamoja region, in the north-east”.
Southern Italy. What follows is not an ad and I know my readers should be very intelligent. So I add this link to a project for 122 two and three bed villas and townhouses near Sciacca, Sicily, Italy.
Northern and Central Italy. Do you like Castel Fidardo, near Ancona? And Vicobarone Ziano Piacentino, near Piacenza in Emilia Romagna?
Eminem, the video of We Made You. Frankly, I do not like this song very much, but the video is very electric, dealing with a mistake of American society, death penalty. Furthermore, an album of mine about rap.
