National Good Day Day


Through a Glass, Darkly is urging its readers to support a proposition to have January 20 named National Good Day Day.

On that day in 1992, Ice Cube had the "Good Day." The exact date was calculated by Donovan who determined that January 20, 1992 was the only date that met all the following criteria (laid out by Ice Cube in the song, "Today was a Good Day."):

- Yo MTV Raps was on the air
- It was a clear and smog-less day in Los Angeles
- Beepers were widely available
- The Lakers beat the SuperSonics
- Ice Cube had no event to attend that day

To listen to Ice Cube describe the "Good Day" in his own words, click here.

So please help make this dream a reality by lobbying your local Congressman to have January 20 designated as National Good Day Day.

Once Were Warriors


"Our people once were warriors. But unlike you, Jake, they were people with mana, pride, people with spirit."

Stand by Me

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
