April 29, 2015 by WendyB

Rapper Trinidad James gives good interview! In 2013, I wrote about an interview he did with The Fader four months after he signed with record label Def Jam on the strength of his independently produced “All Gold Everything” video.

Bruce Jenner: The Interview

April 24, 2015 by WendyB

At the end of Diane Sawyer’s interview with Bruce Jenner*, Sawyer referred to one of Jenner’s post-Olympian books, in which he wrote that everyone should have a one-sentence mission statement.  Sawyer said Bruce defined his mission statement now as “to provide understanding and tolerance toward people.” Well, Bruce can pat himself on the back because…
