Mr. Harris clearly tapped a rich vein of reader interest with his racy and sometimes graphic tales of affluent, ambitious, powerful black men ... who nonetheless struggled with their attraction to both men and women. ... “His writing, and his incredible mainstream success, encouraged a league of black gay and lesbian writers to follow in his footsteps,” says Lisa C. Moore, the publisher of the black lesbian publishing house, Redbone Press. “His words helped make black gay life accessible and worthy of open discussion to black readers, gay and straight—something much, much needed in black communities. I am grateful to him for opening those doors. He definitely made a powerful impact on the publishing business for black gay folks.”[/quote}

E. Lynn Harris, whose novels about successful and glamorous black men with sexual identity conflicts (and the women and men who love them) made him one of the nation’s most popular writers, died in Los Angeles on Thursday. He was 54 and lived in Atlanta. […]
From the beginning, when he first self-published Invisible Life in 1994—it would later be picked up by Doubleday—Harris made it OK for black folks to talk about gay issues, from the beauty parlor to the barbershop. His gay male characters were macho men who just happened to love other macho men: football players, basketball players, highly paid executives. Churchgoing folk. He normalized gay life for a community that’s long been in denial about the non-straight folks in the family, and in the process, launched a genre of black gay literature. Publishers looked at the extraordinary selling power of his books, and looked at other black writers—straight or gay—and saw gold in them thar hills.

Redneck Mansion - Take 2

clipper's remarks: Redbone clipped the Redneck Mansion first, but it instantly reminded me of Habitat 67 in Montreal, and the two contrasted side by side show why.

Habitat 67, an experiment in apartment living, became the permanent symbol of Expo 67 after it closed. It was Canadian architect Moshe Safdie's experiment to make a fundamentally better and cheaper housing for the masses. He attempted to make a revolution in the way homes were built - by the industrialization of the building process; essentially factory mass production. He felt that it was more efficient to make buildings in factories and deliver them prefabricated to the site.

As Habitat was designed, it resembled a curious concrete mountain of dwelling places, strikingly modern, yet reminiscent of a Taos Indian pueblo village, or an Italian hill town. Its units were built on the ground, then hoisted by crane into place five, six or more stories above the ground.

clipper's remarks: Dorn probably wasn't as well known as he should have been--he produced and recorded LOADS of great records, including some by Les McCann, Eddie Harris, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Max Roach, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Mann, Keith Jarrett, Yusef Lateef, Jimmy Scott, Fathead Newman, Hank Crawford, Ray Bryant, Oscar Brown Jr, & Mongo Santamaria.

He was a huge force at Atlantic Records and founded 32 Jazz, Label M and Hyena.

He also produced classic records by Leon Redbone and Roberta Flack. And he wasn't one of those bean counter producers: he loved great music, and he helped to make it happen.

He spent an hour with us here at the station and did a couple of excellent pledge drive drops for us--all the while dispensing advice on music and programming and letting us know that great music mattered.

He was a cool cat, and he cut his teeth in Philly, so he was my boy and I'm real sorry to see him go.

You can find a good interview with him here: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/iviews/joeldorn
