ESSENCE @Essence - Music has lost one of its modern soul architects.
Michael Eugene Archer, better known as D’Angelo, the soul revolutionary, has reportedly passed away at 51 after a private battle with pancreatic cancer.
From Brown Sugar to Voodoo to Black Messiah, his music didn’t just move us, it ministered to us. His genius was fluid, gospel rooted, funk-soaked. It reminded the world that the Black soul is both divine and dangerous. And though the mic may fall silent, the echo still remains, humming the divine.
Rest in power.

Eylon Levy @EylonALevy - Israel’s willingness to pay disproportionate ransoms for hostages is obviously inviting more kidnappings. Israelis are now thinking: how do we deter future kidnappings?
Death penalty for terrorists is one option. A law limiting ransoms is another.
This debate must be had.
