I’m going to see Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, in concert this weekend and have to shift into travel mode. There’s a lot of faith in being a Ye fan. The first concert I got tickets to was for a music festival in Italy which was later cancelled and was an annoying hit. Airlines are a monopoly with predatory practices. The show this weekend is in Tampa, but I still have to hope he even preforms. His latest Bully was releasing “next month” for about six months and of course a lot happened in that time with new music being released. With an artist, we never know what they’ll do next and that’s part of the point. They are the trailblazers, which means they go in front and people follow. A lot of people want to lead, but are afraid to go out on their own. There is also the element of faith with Ye being on stage that he will likely wear a mask. The question is how to know if it’s really him without “seeing” him. To me it doesn’t matter because as Ye has said, “it’s good music.” The point is not seeing a person, rather the performance which is an audio/visual compilation. Buying a ticket to Ye is hoping for an experience with the quality expected by the name. Could I pass putting his music to the Pepsi Challenge? Maybe, I’ve noticed beats on the radio he’s produced that didn’t have his vocals. There is a fullness to his music, most others lack. I’d also call him unique though most people couldn’t recognize what’s going on. Once outside of the box, people call it crazy.

The Kintsugi Man

A Story Told In Tanka Form

Once I was broken,
a man of many pieces,
cracked beyond repair,
so many tiny places 
scattered like leaves in the wind. 

Healing was a dream.
Restoration was elusive.
Much of me was lost. 
I could not find the missing,
my eyes dry from the seeking.

Then mercy found me.
The Great Artist touched my heart,
gathered me to me,
glued the pieces one by one
until I was whole again.

Why do the cracks show?
My question rose to the sky. 
The scars are ugly.
Must they remain forever?
I wondered if I was healed.

Wait, you gently said. 
Dipping your finger in gold,
your love traced the scars.
beauty in my brokenness.
The cracks let the soul's light out.

Shakira’s “How Do You Do” (2005) purports to give God the what-for, but its attempt at universal gravitas falters due to its abstract and politically misdirected nature.

Glen Benton’s Once Upon the Cross tries to blaspheme but ends up parroting theology it clearly doesn’t understand. A case study in how ignorance of your subject can turn mockery into accidental affirmation.

🎨 Isrrael Obregon, a New York-based artist, shares with Eileen how divine intervention led him to Port Huron.

Raised in a migrant family, he turned to art as an escape—and now brings that gift to life as the muralist and contractor for Casa Tequila in Fort Gratiot.
