Interview with Norman Paul Edwards Jr. of Fighting in the Streets
We’ve all played a few classic Sega Genesis and SNES games in our time, right? Have you ever been moving along in the stage and suddenly you notice that you’ve been bobbing your head to the background music? Ever find that tune stuck in your head for hours after you’ve turned off the console?
Imagine a group of musicians that take that same song, infuse it with modern dance grooves, and perform it live for your enjoyment.
That is Fighting in the Streets.
Fighting in the Streets is the classic video game music and TV theme cover band that breathes new life into the nostalgic tunes you know and love. Take it from me, watching them perform life is incredible and if you live in the NYC area, you should check them out as soon as possible. Nothing like seeing a room full of people dancing to Sonic the Hedgehog music to make you swell with nerd pride.
The MC of Fighting in the Streets and recreational drum murderer, Norman Paul Edwards Jr., was kind enough to answer a few of my questions last time I saw him.

Super Mario Bros. The Movie
Super Mario Bros. The Movie, or SMB:TM as I affectionately refer to it, is one of the first movies I ever saw in theaters as a child, so I will always see the movie through these rose tinted nostalgia goggles. As I’ve gotten older and more discerning when it comes to films, my opinion of it hasn’t changed and I continue to watch it at least once a year. It will always be one of my favorite movies. It’s almost unreal how much I enjoy watching SMB:TM.
With that being said, I pride myself on my ability to put personal inclination aside and be completely neutral and non-bias when watching and reviewing anything.
So without further ado, let me tell you about the greatest motherplumbing movie in the universe.

With Black Power Comes Black Responsibility
What? Don’t give me that look.
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 hits stores this Wednesday, premiering the new bi-racial wall crawler Miles Morales. I can’t wait to see if Bendis crafts another down-to-earth realistic character like Peter Parker, or if he turns Miles into an over-the-top walking stereotype like so many other minority characters.

My Reaction To The New Black Spider-Man
After the death of Peter Parker in Marvel Comic’s Ultimate line, a new hero has taken up the mantle of Spider-man to continue his wall crawling crusade on crime. Two weeks ago, Marvel leaked the identity of Parker’s web slinging successor: Miles Morales, a half-black/half-hispanic teen with similar spider powers and alliterative name. And the web’s reaction to this new biracial Spider-man has been mixed. No pun intended.
“SPIDER-MAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN WHITE!!” protesters on the Internet would cry out, their fists clenched in rage. “THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING! POLITICALLY CORRECT RACIST NONSENSE! SPIDEY IS RUINED FOREVER!”
Meanwhile, supporters of the new Spider-man are glad to see a kid that represents the diversity of the city he protects. Other supporters are proud to see a kid that represents THEM become the new Spider-man.
My reaction to my favorite superhero having a new secret identity that I can identify with?

Samuel Jackson isn’t weak against fear or the color yellow. Only sharks, dinosaurs, and Hayden Christensen.
