So the pressure got to 'em. They have decided to charge Ms. Badu anyway.

http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local-beat/Badu-May-Face-Charges-After-All-89799852.html

The Dallas Police Department is issuing Erykah Badu a citation after someone complained about her stripping naked on the streets of downtown Dallas.

Badu has been charged with disorderly conduct, a Class C misdemeanor, for disrobing while shooting her "guerilla-style" video for the song "Window Seat" in Dealey Plaza on March 17.

The decision to issue the citation to Badu was made after a complainant was filed with the police informing them of the complainant's disgust.

The Dallas police said they had no plans to file charges against the singer unless someone complained. Now, a citation will be mailed to Badu. She faces a maximum fine of $500 and can either pay the fine or fight the citation in court.

Dallas Singer's Nudity in Music Video Raises Eyebrows

Badu released the music video Saturday and since then it has been the subject of controversy by many who feel her stripping was, at the very least, disrepectful. Others didn't see the harm and seized the opportunity to parody the Grammy-winning singer, including K104 morning DJ Skip Cheatham, who shot his own video to her song while he undressed on the streets of Dallas.

The video begins with a 1963 radio broadcast describing Kennedy turning onto Elm Street. Badu is then shown in a parked car. Then she walks toward Elm Street while taking her clothes off.

Badu said on Twitter that she could hear people yelling things at her but she kept going. People were yelling things such as "This is a public place," "You ought to be ashamed," and "Put your clothes on," she said.

She said the people caught in the background were trying to ignore her as she shed the last of her clothing -- except for one man who grabbed her clothes.

In the video, she falls to the ground at the spot where Kennedy was shot.

More information on what charges Badu will face will be added to this story after the news conference. Check back and refresh this page for updates.

Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here.. SO SUPPORT THEM!!!

Pictures/Women. I post 'em up ON THE REG. I post 'em, pay the compliments I want to when necessary and leave it at that. Period. If you happen to be the 'man in the young lady's life', don't worry dawg, I don't want your woman. I'm good.

If the fact that I do post up women means that you don't 'respect' any serious topic I discuss then your 'Fuck You and your respect ' is in the link below...Go ahead and read it....I think that should about cover how I feel about what 'you think'..

As for the 'woman' who are afraid of being 'exploited' by a site like the one I run here..Or who feel like I 'stole' your pics or something along those lines.. I have addressed you as well...

UPDATE: The Internet World has evolved. I will leave the disclaimer up however as most of you know, press is press to most people.

I do occasionally interview folks so browse around. I don't call them interviews though. I call 'em 'Chats' 'cause that is usually what is like. Not claiming to be some CNN reporter over here. Just asking questions that many of us want answers to and some questions that some of you don't THINK TO ASK OR THINK CERTAIN FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH/THINKING ABOUT/DOING. I like to dig deep so if you agree to an interview, be prepared. I might ask you anything. I probably will stay away from the majority of the 'standard' questions though. Just bare that in mind.

The popular posts usually contain enough POSITIVE examples of how this works great for both THE BLOG and the subjects of the posts. Usually, those post are a DIRECT RESULT of support from the young lady via a posting on THEIR OWN TWITTER, blog or Facebook. So thank you for that IN ADVANCE (and if you have done so in the past..) for that mutual support. It is appreciated. Truly.

Oh and one more thing...

I DON'T WATER MARK PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T EITHER TAKE OR WERE NOT ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO ME. I have seen folks RUSH TO DO IT and it is pretty damm sad. Not my style. I am not a fool. I know that most of what I do in regards to pictures can be replicated so there is no need to act like I'm out here doing more than what it is. I provide a space to see a collection of pictures in that regard. Nothing more. Nothing less. Watermarking pictures that aren't 'mine per say kinda comes off a little pompous to me. That's just me though..

I want you to be able to tell when I do TAKE THE PICTURE without me saying as much. What do I look like watermarking your pictures up if I didn't 'take them'?

You see the watermark on a picture here with the blog's name in it? Then you know I took the picture in some fashion. Screen shot. With the camera phone. With the Canon or the web cam. Or it was given to me for exclusive use. (At least at press time)
