Some great selections here, Dark-O. I agree, Don Cheadle is a very underrated actor, especially after seeing Hotel Rwanda. I'll have to give country more of a chance...maybe I should ease into it with Beyoncé. I love how you talk about story in music with MJ and that is the best way to describe his music. I was always a fan of Erykah Badu and my go-to when I need to chill, Sade. Your tribute to James Baldwin and how he reflects on your own identity is very inspirational. Its great when we can find inspiration role models in our community. I'm a little ignorant of his work so I will have to remedy that. -Cheers! 🤘🏼
Thank you so much Chris! I am totally with you on Erykah Badu and Sade. Two of the most unique voices in music. I've never heard anything from either of them I did not like.
Oh man! So many heavy hitters here. Frederick Douglas is definitely a great inspiration. I love Michael Jackson’s music as well. Dangerous is my favorite song. I forgot about Meteor Man! Wow that takes me back. Great job on this tag Dark-O. I appreciate you.
Grant is a great pick for a past political figure. He really does get over looked compared to so many others. Glad you are starting to enjoy country! My music tastes has started to expand more as I have gotten older as well.

Right with you on Don Cheadle!! Astounding actor. Also right with you on Obama…maybe term limits were an awful idea. I remember that election night, and feeling uplifted and hopeful about human civilization…it was beautiful.
Bless you Darko you know I love you gorgeous. I will most definitely do this, of course!! Although I have to say you took some of mine haha, so I now have to re-think 😂 Robin Williams✅ Meryl Streep✅ (devil wears Prada yassss) Obama✅ Michael Jackson✅ but I may have a few cheeky treats still up my sleeve yet😉
Corb Lund is responsible for making me appreciate country music. For dark country music it is Blues Saraceno when i heard their music for Rebel Galaxy soundtrack.

Thank you for tagging me! Dangerous is a great song!
Thanks for the tag! I'm just packing to go away for a week, but have set a reminder to myself to record mine when I get back.
Look forward to it! Enjoy your vacation!
Another great video! Don Cheadle is an incredible actor - totally agree that he doesn't get the accolades that he deserves.
Thank you so much! Glad you agree.
Excellent. Engaging AND I need whatever camera youre using. The slickness is superior.
Appreciate that bro! Thank you! It's a Canon R8. Caught it on sale recently and took advantage.

Thanks Tom! Glad you agree on US Grant. It's always great when tastes change.
Ha! Meteor Man! Another excellent video Dark-O!
Thank you Brian! Glad others remember Meteor Man.

OMG Yasss to so many of your answers! I love that Childish Gambino is on your list. He's one of my favorite artists as well. He is so multi-talented.
@@KindlesandKicks So many memorable Community quotes come from the character of Troy Barnes, because of Donald Glover’s timing and delivery.
Thank you so much for this tag, Darko. I will look forward to doing this. I loved your responses!😊
Thank you! Looking forward to your vid!
I have to say I love you Pat I wish you would have taught me 😊
@@throughthepages_with_dee Isn't she great? Wish I had her as a teacher as well!
@@KindlesandKicks I love pat, she’s so eloquent and factual, I know there’s a naughty streak in there though. 😊
Right with you on Don Cheadle!! Astounding actor.
Also right with you on Obama…maybe term limits were an awful idea. I remember that election night, and feeling uplifted and hopeful about human civilization…it was beautiful.
Totally agree! So happy I was able to be a part of that voting population.
@@KindlesandKicks yep it was my first eligible year too!

Love you too! So much in common! This is why we are besties!
I loved hearing your choices to this tag! I won't lie: Beyoncé is responsible for making me love country music-at least modern country! 😅
Yasss Johanna! I've been listening to her new album all day.
