I WANT YOU MF's TO SEE SOMETHIN
Not sure whether everybody here follow Questlove on Instagram as he reposted these, but I am pretty sure few people follow Kool & the Gang.... because, what could they possibly have to show that’s of interest these days...? Right?
Well, turns out they decided to go back in time and show their story in a superb series of interviews combined with animations:

R. KELLY BEER
Oranguru said:grandpa_shig said:no way dude. r. kelly. the beer ad poster for it was kind of a interpolation of his "r." album cover art. someone has to know. well, come to think of it, they were only sold at the ghetto corner stores so maybe nobody here saw it.
but i swear there was a r. kelly beer.
Made an account just to reply to this, but I believe it was an alcoholic cider that he collaborated with during his 2001 summer tour, and I know i'm about 16 years late, cut me some slack
One of the reasons why we love The Strut.
One of the mysteries I never get when this happens: how did you realise in October 2023 that this 16 year old SS-thread needed closure?

500 (!) Likes on Instagram and 150 comments
A mere hundred views views and a dozen comments on soulstrut.com
This probably explains that the struggle is real.
Thanks Raj for keeping it going for a quarter of a century. I was actually wondering over the holidays how long you would keep it going...
TWENTYFIVE years makes you realise how old many of us are by now or (if you were NOT around at the turn of the millenium) how much of this digging culture you missed when it happened "live".
A BIG Thank You to all who have contributed to this site and shared their passion and knowledge.
The alternative to shutting it down would have been to set up a 25th anniversary merch shop: Tee Shirts (!!!), coffee table book... bring it on! Maybe you can still do that!?!?!!!

la fires
I now live in London but can’t help checking https://app.watchduty.org/ several times a day to see how the fires are developing as we lived in Westwood on the other side of the 405 freeway from the Palisades. Even two decades after having left LA this feels like it’s hitting too close to home.
I used to go mountain biking through Brentwood and into Will Rodgers State Lark which is now on fire, just North of Pacific Palisades.
When we moved to LA at the beginning of July 2002 we were invited to a 4th of July party by colleagues of my wife who lived on 17679 Camino De Yatasto in the Palisades. We have to assume that this house is gone now.
Our weekly church group met at a villa on 1648 San Onofre Drive which is currently seemingly just a few houses away from total destruction. Coincidentally, the couple hosting the group, Peter and Cynthia Olmstead, were from the family whose ancestors designed the Pacific Palisades Village as well as New York’s Central Park.
We have friends in Santa Monica and further South and so far they are safe but I can imagine that you can not escape literally feeling and smelling this nightmare at the moment: one of them lives approx 50 miles South in Huntington Beach and said on Friday that he can smell the fires.
I remember being in Fountain Valley, Orange County a few years ago when the Yorba Linda fire was burning 20-25 miles to the North-East but the winds carried the acidic smoke all this way down and made breathing in the open almost impossible.
Even if you don’t know people in the affected areas, I am sure that in the coming weeks you will hear stories that resonate strongly, like freestyler Harry Mack confirming that he’s lost everything: https://www.instagram.com/share/BAGsAdIT1q
