Except for the Omar part. That was hilarious. And so dead-on and perceptive. It was almost like they'd actually encountered one of those mythical "homosensuals" at one point or another.

i find his real guy stance a little off-putting, like i'm the one who shows people what they need to see, that's why they hate me so. but i guess that's how he motivates himself to make such delightful things. or at least the wire is delightfull. which of his books is good?

By the way, I bought the DVD for the first two seasons of Homicide, and so many things in it remind me of The Wire. The Baltimore-specific language, the themes relating to ethnicity, the multi-episode case arcs,... it's just terrific. I remember liking the show, but I like it much more the second time around. If you're hankering for more Wire, it's a great salve.

Not too spoilery, though, at least until you get about halfway in, and they start summarizing the first four episodes. I stopped reading when I saw that.

It was originally conceived as a five season show, so I hope it works out.

A: In keeping with the theme of the season, we sought out voices of middle-school-aged students from Baltimore. Rather than seek out a particular recording artist this year, we tried for the essential voice of our adolescent characters.
Beyond the musical choice, I think it works emotionally.
Specifically, our theme was arranged and produced by Doreen Vail, Maurette Brown-Clark and J.B. Wilkins. The young voices featured are those of Ivan Ashford, Markel Steele, Cameron Brown, Tariq Al-Sabir and Avery Bargasse. The musicians are Ronald Lindsey and Thomas Crosson. Mike Potter engineered the session.
All of the boys are from Baltimore and Tony Small, who directs a boys choir locally, found them for us.
