A few months ago, while perusing The A.V. Club, I read about Rhymesayer artist P.O.S. and how he had to cancel a tour due to medical issues - specifically, because he needs a kidney transplant. Then later - via Facebook posts from other artists - I found out about the fundraiser set up to raise money for his transplant and medical bills. If there's one thing that I learned while living with my ex-ex-ex-roommate, it's that musicians can often be pretty fucked when it comes to medical emergencies. And in the U.S., where the health care system is still pretty fucked up...I dunno...I just wanted to contribute to a good artist that makes good music. And, to top it all off, I even bought the album "We Don't Even Live Here"
So, I hope he gets better and that the next time that Rhymesayers does a showcase in Hamburg that he'll tag along and perform. I would enjoy that.
Here's one of my fave P.O.S. videos (probably played in on the show a few times)
P.O.S. - Purexed
And the first single off of "We Don't Even Live Here"
P.O.S. - Fuck Your Stuff
