HE WAS THE 1ST RAPPER TO BRING A PLATINUM PLAQUE TO THE LOU FOR BEING ON KEITH SWEAT'S #1 SINGLE "TWISTED" IN 1996. TWISTED WENT ON TO SELL ALMOST 5 MILLION RECORDS.
R.I.P.

And we are still waiting for yawl to send us a pic and bio to be featured on STL-LICIOUS. If you or someone you know got it goin on in looks and biz. Send us a BRIEF bio and pic at outtown62221@yahoo.com
And now to the newz:
The STL is still in a buzz when Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama came through the Missouri area with two rallies. The first was in St. Louis which brought out a historic 100,000 plus people under the Gateway Arch.
The huge showing set a record for an Obama event. Coupled with a large rally later Saturday in Kansas City (which had over 80,000), the turnout heartened local Democrats about his chances of carrying the state -- one of a handful of remaining state battlegrounds and where the latest Missouri polls show him tied with Republican rival John McCain. On Saturday, Obama responded to heightened GOP attacks on his character and background by portraying McCain as a candidate in league with lobbyists and special interests, and out of step with average Americans.In his 40-minute address, Obama talked about Mccain’s “sameness” of Bush’s policies, responded to McCain's latest attack, about his proposed tax cuts for lower to middle class and his “out of touch’ views on the country.
Saturday's event at the Arch was the largest outdoor political event in St. Louis since 1992, when the Democratic ticket of Bill Clinton and Al Gore attracted an estimated 20,000 people downtown on a closed section of Olive Street.The last presidential campaign rally at the Arch was in 1996, when Republicans Bob Dole and running mate Jack Kemp paid a Labor Day visit that drew thousands.
Obama was joined by most of the region's top Democrats and the party's statewide ticket. Olympic medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee led the crowd in the pledge. Secretary of State Robin Carnahan offered how-to-vote tips after she got a show of hands from thousands who signaled that November would be their first time to cast a ballot.
Saturday's line to get through security at times stretched more than a mile, with some people saying they'd shown up at 6 a.m. Obama took the stage shortly after noon.There also was a lady who flew all the way from Argentina to be a part of the rally.
OUTTOWN contributor Senora Robinson said that she went down there via Metrolink and was not able to return to the Metrolink station because of the mass amount of people that were there and had to hitch a ride with someone.
In unrelated Obama news in the STL , St. Louis Post Dispatch columnist Deb Peterson reported that Chris Sommers, an owner of Pi restaurant (6144 Delmar Boulevard), , said that he was walking down Market Street after the rally when his cell phone rang. Sommers said that when he answered, he was asked to hold on a second and then he heard: "Chris, this is Sen. Obama, and I have to tell you, that was the best pizza I've ever eaten." Sommers had contacted Reggie Love, Obama's "body man" earlier in the week, offering to feed him and the senator. Obama also packed in a cheeseburger , a hand-ground K-Burger with cheddar cheese (cooked medium well), a grilled chicken breast, broccoli and jasmine rice for Obama at 1000 Washington Avenue.
Geez, I’m surprised they didn’t save the napkins Obama used to wipe his mouth and have him to sign them!

Following in Obama’s footsteps (and barely), Republican Presidential candidate John McCain came through St. Louis Monday before about 3,000 supporters packing an outdoor amphitheater at New Town in St. Charles.
McCain was energetic in his speech and promising his supporters that they will lead in the polls. McCain promised he would act to keep taxes low, cut federal spending and win the war in Iraq. McCain also emphasized to the crowd that he couldn't win the White House without Missouri, one of the states that President George W. Bush carried in 2000 and 2004. After St. Charles, McCain made a brief stop in Columbia to meet with some local Republicans followed by a rally in Belton, Mo., just outside Kansas City which drew a crowd of 6,000.
Hmmm. According to the crowds, looks like Obama won.
As the campaign trail of the Presidential race go toe to toe, other politicians have come to the St. Louis area to endorse other candidates running in other races.
Former President Bill Clinton spoke Monday night in support of Obama to a crowd of 2,500 in a school auditorium in the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood. An estimated 3,500 others listened in overflow space outside of the room. Clinton's appearance came several hours after Republican nominee John McCain made a campaign stop in nearby St. Charles County.
Obama supporter Missouri Senator Clair McCaskill held a press conference in St Louis for McCain’s campaign workers for making robo-calls to Missouri residents. . Senator Claire McCaskill joined voters known as Republicans for Obama in St. Louis. She denounced the recorded phone messages that suggest the Illinois senator is a terrorist among other things. McCaskill says the calls give voters a distorted view of what Obama stands for. McCaskill says, "They are trying to give the impression that Barack Obama was plotting with terrorists to kill people, Americans, and blow up buildings."The calls have drawn heavy criticism even from people who endorse McCain.
Hmmm, can we say back fire?
Vice President Dick Cheney came to Cape Girardeau this week to attend a fundraiser at the home of local lawyer and conservative author David Limbaugh. The fundraiser was scheduled to benefit the campaign of Republican Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder. Major traffic delays were caused as Cheney was transported from the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport to Limbaugh's home as local police worked with the Secret Service to provide security.
Last Saturday night, FOX 2 hosted a gubernatorial debate between Democratic Attorney General Jay Nixon and Republican Congressman Kenny Hulshof. Both candidates talked about their stance on the issues important to the Missouri voters. Saturday's debate was also seen on WDAF FOX 4 in Kansas City and across the country on C-SPAN. Voters also listened in on 550am KTRS radio.
Is it us, or does Hulsof look like actor Randy Quaid? LOL
Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden’s wife, Dr. Jill Biden, held a campaign rally in ST. Joseph, Mo last week. Dr. Biden stopped at the Buchanan County Democratic Headquarters to rally backers of Barack Obama and her husband. About 100 people crammed into the room for her speech and, after her departure, get-out-the-vote training.
TIDBIT: According to the Missouri Secretary of State office, over 250,000 new voters were registered in Missouri and 500,000 have changed addresses.

In non-political local news, the big newz story is on Tuesday, a 17-month-old boy from St. Louis was killed Tuesday night when someone fired shots at his father's car. The boy -- Rashaad Bobbitt -- died at 9:41 p.m. Tuesday at St. Louis Children's Hospital, according to the St. Louis County medical examiner's office.Rashaad's family lives in the 5700 block of Amelia Avenue in north St. Louis.The boy was riding in a car driven by his father, Richard Bobbitt, when it was hit by gunfire about 5:45 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of Kingsland Avenue and 70th Street.Bobbitt had just finished boxing at a gym in Pagedale while Rashaad and Rashaad's mother, Chinara Meeks, slept in their red Ford sedan. They woke up and left the gym's parking lot. That's when the shooting started.
After the shooting, the boy's father drove to the Pagedale Police Department about six blocks away to get help, Pagedale Police Chief G. Thomas Walker said Tuesday night. As they rushed to the police station, Meeks said she tried to give her son mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. She had learned CPR while attending school to become a medical assistant.
The car carried two other young children -- two boys, ages 4 and 5 -- in the backseat, but they weren't hit.

CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric broadcast from St. Louis this week. Couric and her TV crew went out to Fenton to talk with two workers at the Chrysler plant who are losing their jobs at the end of the month. Then she went downtown to do a lot of pre-show work, from a balcony on the fourth floor of the Gateway One building at Seventh and Market, with the Old Courthouse and Gateway Arch as the classic backdrop. She also stopped by Ted Drewes again like she did when she was here for the VP debates and also visited KMOV anchor Vickie Newton.

Police exploring a mistaken-identity angle said Monday they were checking whether anyone who parks in the Carondelet Plaza garage has a car like the one where a bomb was planted last week. Investigators said they still have no idea whether John Gillis, a corporate lawyer injured in an explosion when he picked up a wicker basket left beside his automobile, was the intended target.
According to reports, The bomb that exploded last Thursday in a Clayton parking garage, injuring a lawyer when he picked it up beside his car, was planted the day before, police said Friday. Surveillance video shows the bomber arriving at the garage, on Carondelet Plaza just east of Hanley Road, between 4:30 and 4:45 p.m. last Wednesday. The bomber is recognizable by the package being carried, a wicker basket with a decorative bow that police said was placed beside the lawyer's car.
But the bomber is so well disguised that police cannot tell the race. They said they believe it is a man. He is seen on the tape dressed in a yellow rain poncho down to the knees, with a hood, and sunglasses. Helium balloons attached to the bomb further obscure the face. Police did not say if the balloons were still on the basket when John Gillis, 69, picked it up the next day.Gillis was burned and bloodied in the blast. Police said his injuries were not life-threatening. Police said they still do not know whether he was the intended target. He is a securities law expert at the Armstrong Teasdale law firm in downtown St. Louis. The bomb was placed beside his car in its assigned parking spot in the office-condominium complex where he lives.

If you're thinking about trick-or-treating in Belleville and you are older than 12, think again. Tuesday, Belleville Mayor Mark W. Eckert signed a new law -- approved by the Belleville City Council Monday night -- that bans anyone older than 12 from wearing masks or disguises in public.
Kids 13 years and older will not be permitted to trick-or-treat this Halloween in Belleville, Illinois unless they are special needs children accompanied by an adult, limits trick-or-treating to between 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Halloween night and restricts.
The ordinance also bans child sex offenders from participating in any Halloween parties or events where their own children are not present. That includes turning off exterior lights between 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. and not handing out candy to children.
City leaders said they issued the curfew and costume ordinance because of complaints from older residents who were scared by teens ringing their doorbells late at night on Halloween.
Age and curfew violators on October 31 will be issued a warning and released, but parents could be subject to a $25 fine.
So all this stemmed cause some elderly people kids rang their doorbell? What about the rest of us who didn’t want to be bothered with ‘nem too ?

Two major store chains will be closing in the STL area. Linens ‘n Things began closing sales Friday at its remaining 371 stores in 48 states, including six stores in the St. Louis metro area. More than $1 billion in inventory will be sold at discounts up to 30 percent, according to a release from the joint venture group conducting the closeout. Store fixtures, furniture and equipment are included in the sale.The retailers remaining St. Louis-area stores are in Fairview Heights, Ill., and in Town & Country, Clayton, Chesterfield, Fenton and O’Fallon in Missouri. Clifton, N.J.-based Linens ‘n Things filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.Linens ‘n Things was to be sold at auction Tuesday, but the auction was called off when there were no bidders to compete with the liquidation joint venture group. Then Tuesday, Sears in Jamestown will be closing. Sears Holding Corp. is closing its Sears department store at the Jamestown Mall in Florissant early next year. It’s also closing a store in Indianapolis. The two stores are closing because they are underperforming and not meeting sales targets, she said. Some of the 90 employees at the Sears in Florissant will be offered severance and encouraged to apply to one of the other seven Sears stores in the St. Louis area but will not be automatically transferred.
Former MOKAN CEO Eddie Hasan received one year in prison Wednesday. The sentence stemmed from the claim that false tax returns involving money Hasan received as a consultant to minority-owned businesses. He also headed the group MOKAN that monitored minority participation in construction contracts in the St. Louis area.Hasan failed to report earnings of more than $470,000 from 2001 to 2005. He owes $106,000 in back taxes. Hasan diverted more than $200,000 from MOKAN to his personal use, including the purchase of a Mercedes Benz.
The city said Monday that it has secured a $7 million federal grant to remediate lead from additional housing units in St. Louis. Mayor Francis Slay said the rate of lead poisoning in St. Louis children has dropped dramatically since the city launched a campaign in 2003 to eliminate lead poisoning by 2010. The rate of lead poisoning in the city's children has dropped 76 percent since 2001, from 16.2 percent to 3.8 percent today. Slay said the latest Housing and Urban Development grant would allow the city to remediate 800 additional units over the next three years.

A Missouri Appeals Court ruled Tuesday that St. Louis County must obey a state law requiring two years' notice before establishing its new trash districting program.The ruling revives a lawsuit that seeks to derail the program, which took full effect Oct. 1 throughout unincorporated St. Louis County.The appellate court, based in St. Louis, reversed the opinion of St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Steven H. Goldman. In May, Goldman dismissed a suit filed by three waste haulers — American Eagle Waste Industries, Meridian Waste Services and Waste Management of Missouri — that had lost out in the bidding process to haul trash in eight districts that the county had established.Goldman agreed with the county that its charter status gave it leeway to enact the trash program without adhering to a state law requiring two years' notice.
The appellate court's ruling disagreed: "St. Louis County may not exercise its constitutional legislative authority to override (the statute)."The court ordered the case remanded to the circuit court.

SENORA SPEAKS: Obama Rally at the Arch and Maxwell at the Fox
OBAMA RALLY
Hundreds of thousands St. Louisians packed the Arch-Grounds to hear Democratic Presidential Candidate, Senator Barack Obama on Saturday.
Visiting cities nationwide, Obama made a special stop right here in St. Louis as part of his presidential campaign.
A Confident Obama spoke to an audience estimated of over 100,000 about the matters of our hearts. The challenges facing our middle class families; The Economy, Health Care, Taxes, Education and most of all CHANGE.
Obama addressed the recent debate, and some of the personal attacks that the McCain camp has made towards him. Stating that he can handle those personal attacks over the next three weeks, but that the American people cannot afford 4 more years of what has been going on in the Bush Administration.
Speaking of McCain, and his ways similar to the Bush Administration, and it has failed the American People. “…They are out of touch, and if you stand with me, through these next 17 days, then they will be Out of Time…”
Crowd participation was warranted, when Obama referenced tax cuts under his administration. Proposing to cut taxes to over 100 million Americans, those making less than $250,000 annually, Obama asked for a show in hands of who in the audience makes less than a quarter of a million dollars a year.
The audience chants OBAMA! OBAMA! Between his remarks,
He spoke of Teachers, Nurses, and even Plumbers…. “They are the ones who Washington (DC) has forgotten about. They are who I will work for…”
When speaking of McCain’s tax plan; he mentioned that yes, McCain had a plan to cut taxes, but it merely came down to values. “Do we simply value wealth, or the work that creates it?”
On the devastating housing market issue, Obama proposed under his administration; he would potentially offer a 3-month Moratorium on Foreclosures. Under the Education plan, he makes it pertinent to “Provide every American child with a World Class Education,” touching base on increasing teacher salaries, and making it possible and affordable for every child to be able to attend college.

Under the Education plan, he makes it pertinent to “Provide every American child with a World Class Education,” touching base on increasing teacher salaries, and making it possible and affordable for every child to be able to attend college.
A humble, genuine Obama states that it would not just be his sole leadership to create the Change that our country needs/ desires; but a collective effort, a grassroots approach that “We will all need to sacrifice; we all need to pull our weight.”
“I can invest in Education, but only a parent can turn off the television”
“I can invest in Education, but only a parent can turn off the television”
Anyone present had the opportunity to be part of a real movement downtown on Saturday. The crowd, a sea of people, from under the Arch, to the cobblestoned LaClede’s Landing, all came out to support Barack Obama; our next Presidential hopeful.
Wearing their T-shirts, hats, buttons and other Obama paraphernalia, St. Louis represented and showed in numbers how bad they wanted a taste of new leadership for our country.
From infants to the elderly, walkers to wheelchairs, from the Elite to the poor, a blanket of various races and religions joined together on one phenomenal Common Ground: CHANGE.
Ending eloquently, OBAMA urges us to stand strong, and mentions how we will become that one Great Nation again. He urges us to put our values and beliefs to the test and Vote.
“When we battle back from adversity; despite of all this: I ask of you; To Believe in yourselves, believe in each other, because together: we cannot fail.”
“When we battle back from adversity; despite of all this: I ask of you; To Believe in yourselves, believe in each other, because together: we cannot fail.”

Call to Oneness wants to motivate people to volunteer at the polls and vote on Election Day November 4. Under the campaign called "Take Power, Take Control." It is designed to register and educate voters, provide transportation to voters who may not be able to make it to their polling location and to stress the importance of voting.
The group's goal is to get 10,000 people to volunteer in north St. Louis and North County on Election Day. The volunteers will go door to door to make sure people get out and vote and assist voters in getting to the polls. Eric Rhone, the co-founder of A Call to Oneness, wants African Americans to cast their votes before 1:00 p.m. on Election Day in hopes of doubling the African-American turnout.
The group will also hold a "Get Out to Vote" rally on November 2 at 1:00 p.m. at Kiener Plaza at 500 Pine Street in downtown St. Louis.

Eric Rhone, the co-founder of A Call to Oneness, wants African Americans to cast their votes before 1:00 p.m. on Election Day in hopes of doubling the African-American turnout.
The group will also hold a "Get Out to Vote" rally on November 2 at 1:00 p.m. at Kiener Plaza at 500 Pine Street in downtown St. Louis.

CABARET ST LOUIS
Cabaret St. Louis is coming in October. The inaugural Cabaret St. Louis fall lineup will include Fran Landesman, Steve Ross, Sylvia McNair, Lee Lessack and Tony Sandler. Performances will be held at The Sheldon, Kranzberg Arts Center, The Gaslight Theatre plus additional venues. All shows begin at 8 p.m. Tickets on sale at all MetroTix locations.
FRAN LANDESMAN returns to her roots October 22-25 at The Gaslight Theatre. The legendary proprietess of Gaslight Square’s Crystal Palace presented such artists as Barbra Streisand, The Smothers Brothers and Elaine May. But outside of St. Louis, Ms. Landesman is most well known for her own songs and shows. Spring Can Hang You Up The Most and The Ballad Of The Sad Young Man became standards and were recorded by Elle Fitzgerald, Barbra Streisand and Sarah Vaughn. Fifty years later, accompanied by her son Myles, and around the corner from the old Crystal Palace, this top songwriter and cultural icon will treat St. Louis to an evening of storytelling and song. Tickets for Fran Landesman are $35.
The smartest of the smart set and St. Louis favorite, STEVE ROSS, returns with his latest work, “To Wit: Ross on Wry – Funny Songs Throughout The Ages,” October 1-4 at the new Kranzberg Arts Center in Grand Center. Ross is no stranger to St. Louis, as he has performed many times at The Grand Center Cabaret, Cabaret in The Savoy Room and St. Louis Muny. After Ross’s 2004 St. Louis appearance, Chuck Lavazzi of KDHX Radio wrote, “The fact is, Mr. Ross has a breezy elegance on stage that’s reminiscent of Fred Astaire, Noel Coward, Cole Porter and, above all, the late and much lamented Bobby Short.” Tickets for Steve Ross are $40.
Cabaret at The Sheldon will host Grammy Winner SYLVIA MCNAIR October 16-17 for two performances only. A beloved performer at Opera Theatre of St. Louis, Ms. McNair has segued from opera to the Great American Songbook, the music with which she feels most at home. Now, instead of singing V'adoro pupille on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera, she's singing Embraceable You to rave reviews. Of McNair's Algonquin Oak Room debut, Rex Reed wrote, "Her phrasing is exemplary. Her modulations are inspired. I could get used to this kind of ecstasy." Tickets for Sylvia McNair are $45.
LEE LESSACK’S lyric baritone vocals and sophisticated yet endearing persona have made him a shining star of the international cabaret scene. His tribute to Johnny Mercer, “Too Marvelous For Words,” runs October 29-November 1 at the Kranzberg Arts Center. As we celebrate the centennial of Mercer, Lessack is the perfect match for this romantic of songwriters. Billboard Magazine calls his singing, "Cabaret romanticism of a high order." Tickets for Lee Lessack are $30.
TONY SANDLER finishes the CSTL Fall season November 13-14 at The Sheldon with “Chevalier-Maurice & Me.” This show is neither caricature nor impersonation, but a heartfelt homage to this widely-admired entertainer. It has been the subject of a PBS special and DVD, and contains the charm and savoir faire that Maurice himself brought to film and stage. Tickets for Tony Sandler are $40.Tickets for all five Cabaret St. Louis performances go on sale Tuesday, September 2 at 10 a.m. at all MetroTix locations. To charge by phone call 314-534-1111 or online at http://www.metrotix.com/. Memberships available by calling 314-726-1616.

HELPBITZ:
We got an email from actress Shawn Guy Pitts on ger new job and she is seeking help: Greetings! Just this past week, I received my official certificate as a certified trained S.A.R.T. Advocate through the YWCA.
S.A.R.T. stands for Sexual Assault Response Team.
As an advocate, I will be on-call to respond to victims of sexual assault and rape that present to the emergency room and provide them with support, empowerment, and resources.
Some of you were lovely to attend my one-woman show put on in July 2007 that was about sexual abuse. At the end of the show, I encouraged all attendees that if they knew anyone who may have been or is a victim to go to the YWCA Sexual Assault Center.
Well this year, I would like to take it a step further.
As with any non-profit organization, funds are always an issue. This year, the deficit is even greater as well as the number of women who are beginning to report these devastating crimes.
We are approaching the holiday season, which for many is a time of giving and sharing. I ask that you PLEASE consider donating money to the Sexual Assault Center.
Remember, we love our mothers, aunts, grandmothers, sisters, nieces, wives, girlfriends, and daughters. And guess what? Sexual abuse, assault, and/or rape can happen to ANY of them. Women (and sometimes men) present to the emergency room from all walks of life, economic standing, and backgrounds as victims.
The YWCA Sexual Assault Center provides counseling, clothing, advocacy, resources, etc. to victims. Your donations will help to make this awesome refuge bigger and better.
If you decide to donate before November 1st, you must send your donations to the United Way (where they divide the money up). If you donate AFTER November 1st, you can send your donations DIRECTLY to the Center at 140 N Brentwood, Clayton, MO 63105. ....................................Nar Js Music Evangelist Nakisha Joseph, 7740 Dale Ave. 314.313.2288............................Teddy Blackett needs help with sponsors for his website.
