...Whoopi Goldberg) house when they run out of gas. While waiting for Ray Bud to rescue them, they begin to listen to music. In accordance with his gangsta get-up, Royce tunes the radio to a rap radio station. Baffled, his mother changes the station to gospel music with the hand that is not clutching her unabridged Bible. Soon, the two are vying for control of the knob, until Aunt Marguerite accidentally pulls the knob out of the radio after successfully changing the station and shouts, “Aha! Jesus got the knob!” Clearly irritated, Royce...
...hair (he cut it, sort of), Morris, 44, is still the same mouthy iconoclast he always was--only now his once controversial work has become the gold standard of creativity for a new generation of dancers, choreographers and critics. Charter company members like Tina Fehlandt are currently teaching the gospel of St. Mark to such prestigious ensembles as the American Ballet Theatre and the San Francisco Ballet, both of which commissioned new pieces from Morris this season.

There's no question that Puffy knows how to find a good hook and a captivating beat, that he has an eye for talent and a gift for promotion, that he's adept at coining catchphrases and setting trends. I know that he has a gospel album in the works. I wonder if, post-trial, he's going to try and do work that's more significant and complex than the pop gangsta stuff he's churned out in the past...
