Who do you think was the better cook: MLK or Malcolm? And why?

If you could feel in everyday life the way you do when you're making music would you still make music? And why?

To the men: how often do you think you'd visit?

Never.

Which character in Passing Strange would you like to sit next to on a long plane ride? Which would you not like to sit next to? And why.
