Living Colour releases their debut LP today in 1988 — with “Cult of Personality”, a song inspired by a chat during rehearsal about what makes a leader charismatic.
“Vernon played a riff,” said drummer Will Calhoun. “And next we knew we had a song. All while we were setting up for sound check.”

Calling it "illegal DEI," Trump issues EO to shut down a program redirecting human waste away from a rural Alabama area regularly flooded with sewage during climate-change-amplified storms.
The area's population is over 72% Black.
