Joan Armatrading - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 12-5-1979

By Mistah Wilson -
It's time for another episode of the "PBS Soundstage" TV show. This one stars Joan Armatrading.

This concert took place at a strange time for Armatrading. She had been releasing an album a year for most of the 1970s, but she didn't release one in 1979. This was due to a financial dispute with her record company, which was later resolved. To fill the gap, a live album called "Steppin' Out" was released in Britain. But the record company didn't deem her popular enough to release the album there (though it did get released there many years later). Also to fill the gap, an EP was released in November 1979. One song on that, "Rosie," was a hit in 1980. This concert included a version of "Rosie," as well as "Love Song," which was otherwise only included on the "Steppin' Out" live album.

It's been a while since I put this album together, so I don't remember why two of the songs have "[Edit]" in their titles. Probably, it was due to voiceovers, since that was all too common a practice for this TV show. The sound quality is very good, despite this remaining unreleased. 

This album is 58 minutes long.

The cover photo is from a concert in Chicago, but not this concert. It's from the Park West venue, in July 1979. The original version was in black and white. But I colorized it with the help of the Kolorize program.

How a Mentally Ill Defendant Used AI to Expose a Statewide Scandal

By Mistah Wilson -
Image
In a stunning and surreal twist that blends the raw tenacity of local grassroots culture with cutting-edge artificial intelligence, a mentally ill indigent defendant born and raised in Los Angeles County’s foster care system has ignited a firestorm that now threatens to engulf the very machinery of California’s justice system. Armed with nothing but a smartphone, persistence, and ChatGPT, this underdog has methodically exposed what may become one of the most consequential constitutional crises in California history. And in the center of it all? Mistah Wilson — founder of *ThaWilsonBlock*, a hyper-local media platform built to preserve community voice, uplift independent artists, and empower those often excluded from mainstream narratives. Michael Taylor —whose life began under state custody—has spent decades navigating the shadows of institutions: group homes, courtrooms, and broken social contracts. Branded early with mental health diagnoses and shuffled from p...

How A Defendant Won The Case, on Substance, in People v. Michael Taylor (XNEGA1111-32)

By Mistah Wilson -
Image
EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION "Fraud Upon the Court: How the People v. Michael Taylor Case Exposes a Judicial System in Crisis" By ThaWilsonBlock Magazine Investigative Team Pasadena, CA – In a quiet courtroom at the Pasadena branch of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, a case that began as a routine criminal prosecution has now erupted into a far-reaching constitutional crisis. New evidence and court documents obtained by ThaWilsonBlock Magazine suggest that in People v. Michael Taylor (Case No. XNEGA111132), the court may be actively concealing violations of its own judicial orders—raising red flags about judicial integrity, attorney collusion, and systemic abuse of mental health evaluations to silence defendants. At the center of the storm is Michael Taylor, a pro se defendant who has meticulously documented what he says is a fraud upon the court—an unconstitutional act that nullifies all subsequent proceedings. His evidence points to a judicial system leveraging...

Gavin Newsom Implicated in RICO Conspiracy to Cover-Up Judicial Fraud | Publicly Filed Confidential Medical Records of Mentally Ill Defendant

By Mistah Wilson -
Image
How a Sealed Court Order, a Fraudulent Assessment, and a Governor-Appointed Judge Orchestrated a Criminal Cover-Up in Plain View In a state supposedly championing progressive justice reform, the State of California has committed one of the most disturbing abuses of power in recent history — a textbook case of **government-sponsored fraud**, **constitutional sabotage**, and **racketeering under color of law**. What began as a routine criminal case devolved into a multi-year, multi-agency conspiracy — implicating judges, public defenders, state evaluators, and ultimately, **Governor Gavin Newsom** himself — in a concerted effort to falsify judicial proceedings, incarcerate a legally competent defendant, and obstruct exculpatory evidence. This is the story of how a sealed diversion order was transformed — illegally — into a **fraudulent competency proceeding**, weaponized against a defendant who refused to surrender his rights. ### **The Case Begins: From Charges t...

Costco Plans to Launch Its First Stand-Alone Gas Station in California — and It's Set to Be the Biggest Yet

By Mistah Wilson -
Image
📍 Mission Viejo, CA In a bold move that bucks a couple of industry trends, Costco is preparing to open its first-ever stand-alone gas station in California — and it’s shaping up to be the warehouse giant’s largest fuel site to date. Set to be built at 25732 El Paseo in the Mission Viejo Freeway Center, right off the I-5, the upcoming station will sit alongside heavy-hitter retailers like Krispy Kreme, Best Buy, and Petco — making it a potentially high-traffic hub for South OC commuters. According to reporting by the Orange County Register, city officials greenlit the project back in March. The new gas station will take over the site of a closed Bed Bath & Beyond, with demolition, grading, and permits currently in motion. If all goes to plan, construction is expected to begin this fall, with a Spring 2026 grand opening on the calendar. While many gas stations pair their fuel pumps with a convenience store — often where the bulk of profits are made — this stand-alone mod...

Why People Choose Religion Over Reality

By Mistah Wilson -
Image
🔍 Faith vs. Facts: Why Many People Choose Religion Outside of Objective Reality—and Why That Can Be a Fundamental Error In a world filled with scientific discovery, global communication, and access to virtually unlimited information, one would think humanity would be guided more than ever by objective reality. But still, billions of people cling—sometimes desperately—to religions that contradict evidence, defy logic, or ignore the observable world. Why? The reasons are complex, deeply human, and often emotional. But when these reasons replace reason itself, it can lead to what we call a fundamental error—the misalignment of belief systems with reality in a way that limits personal growth, distorts truth, and creates social harm. Let’s be honest. Religion offers what reality often doesn’t: People turn to religion for comfort in a world that feels chaotic, cruel, or unpredictable. The idea of a divine plan, eternal life, or cosmic justice can make suffering seem meaningful—e...

There’s Aaliyah. There’s Ciara. And Then There’s Maya Huyana 💥

By Mistah Wilson -

“There’s Aaliyah. There’s Ciara. Then There’s Maya Huyana.” That’s the kind of headline the Los Angeles music scene deserves—because in every quiet verse and soulful refrain, Maya Huyana has proven she’s a force of nature. Known also by her creative moniker YaH‑Ra, (though I personally prefer her as  Maya Huyana), she’s carved out a niche all her own: a unique blend of R&B, hip‑hop, soul, and world music that has echoed across Southern California and beyond. 🎶 A Legacy Etched in Releases From her early days, Maya Huyana has been dedicated to evolving her craft. Her REBiRTH EP , released on September 27, 2017, introduced listeners to raw lyricism and rich production—complete with beats by GoldDigga, mixing/mastering by Viva Mescal—and even scratching by DJ Drastik . This project signaled the emergence of an artist willing to bare her soul. Next came the SEA‑FOAM EP , dropping June 26, 2019. Produced by Ethan Hill, it featured standout tracks like “ HiTTA ” and “ BL...

The Timeless Legacy of the Chevy El Camino

By Mistah Wilson -

The Timeless Legacy of the Chevy El Camino The Unlikely Legend – A Car That Became a Culture There are muscle cars. There are trucks. And then there’s the Chevy El Camino — the unforgettable, genre-defying machine that turned heads and rewrote the rulebook. Part car, part pickup, part outlaw, the El Camino wasn’t just transportation — it was an attitude on wheels. In a world where vehicles fit neatly into categories, the El Camino crashed the party with something no one saw coming: a car that hauled lumber during the day and cruised the boulevard at night. 🛠 A Bold Beginning: The 1959 Debut The El Camino first hit American streets in 1959, Chevy’s response to the Ford Ranchero, a coupe utility vehicle that had already tested the market. But Chevrolet wasn’t content to just copy and paste — they designed the El Camino with a lower stance, sleeker lines, and a touch of muscle-car sex appeal. It was a pickup, yes — but it had soul. And chrome. Lots of chrome. Though the initi...

The "Due Process" Conundrum for Undocumented Persons

By Mistah Wilson -
Image
In the United States, the phrase "due process" has a certain sanctity—it's enshrined in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, promising that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without fair procedures. It's a shield designed to protect individuals from arbitrary actions by the government. But how does this constitutional principle apply to those who find themselves on U.S. soil without the necessary papers to prove their lawful entry? Let’s dig into this controversial issue, the process of due process for the undocumented, and the constitutional implications of how this plays out. The "Due Process" Conundrum for the Undocumented At first glance, it may seem like the concept of due process wouldn't apply to people who are on U.S. soil without permission. After all, the very nature of being undocumented suggests that one has bypassed the legal requirements for entry or remained beyond their lawful v...
