This month at The Museum Of UnCut Funk we are taking a look at what is happening in the old school sphere....some activity which we have been reporting on for a while, other items which are new...the latest in terms of remakes, biopics, comebacks and anything else that is funky! Check it out below.
We have finally added our unique sports items to our Collection section - you can check them out here - Black Sports Items.
We are also continuing to build our two new blogs, Aesthetic Grooves and Cafe 70.
Aesthetic Grooves is a place for comics, graphic novels, graphic design...if it is funky and aesthetically groovy I will cover it here.
Cafe 70 is our new virtual cafe where you can catch me, Sista ToFunky, throwing down on my favorite recipes and talking all things food and drink. My cooking videos are delicious. The outtakes are priceless!

The Latest Old School Happenings...
I was a huge boxing fan at one point in my life so I guess I am what you would call a “retro” boxing fan. I watched all of the Ali / Foreman / Norton bouts during the 1970′s. Followed Sugar Ray Leonard from the Olympics through all of his title bouts in the 1980′s. And of course there’s Mike Tyson. I followed him both in and out of the ring into the 1990′s. I have to admit that after Tyson boxing lost it’s appeal for me. After all of Tyson’s antics he also fell off my radar, until recently.

So when I first I heard that there was a Marvin Gaye biopic in the works, Jesse L. Martin was the name that was attached to the starring role. This was years ago. Then I heard that it was not going to happen because of issues getting music rights approvals from Barry Gordy. Then recently I heard that the film was back in production with Lenny Kravitz in the lead role. Then I heard that Marvin’s son had a problem with both the film and Lenny starring in it. Now it appears that this project has come full circle, with Jesse L. Martin back in the lead role.
