| Introduction | My name is Eric Smith and I'm a 30-year old college student/scholar/aspiring music artist,dj,author,whatever. As long as it's funky, I can dig it and down for the cause. Born in the San Francisco Bay Area, I'm a 3rd-generation Californian and member of Generation Y of Italian/Irish descent...a white boy with a more than average interest in african-american culture and various forms of art; from the hip-hop that birthed this passion of mine to the written word and paint/canvas. Primarily post-James Brown stuff. I also have a shoe blog (cuz, of course) and it's elephantprintlife.blogspot.com |
