Honorary Black Man Roger Friedman puts out an AP--motherfucking--B on the legandary "Fats" Domino, at Fox 411:

"New Orleans is a city famous for its famous musicians, but many of them are missing. Missing with a capital M.

" ... one of the city�s most important legends, Antoine 'Fats' Domino, has not been heard from since Monday afternoon. Domino�s rollicking boogie-woogie piano and deep soul voice are not only part of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame but responsible for dozens of hits like 'Blue Monday,' 'Ain�t That a Shame,' 'Blueberry Hill' and 'I�m Walking (Yes, Indeed, I�m Talking).'"

We didn't know Fats Domino's real name was Antoine. Why didn't we know that to be thus? That's one of the discrete charms of reading the scribblings of a dedicated Africanophile like Roger -- AKA: Raj -- Friedman. You always learn something new about black culture, even if, to be sure, you're black.

In his next installment, Raj will instruct readers to "put down the swine" and haul your sweet black ass down to the 10th anniversary of ther Million Man March.
