Well my hard work trying to search for and contact Luther Campbell aka Uncle Luke payed off tonight. I was still at work cleaning my bar when I checked my phone and saw I had an email from Luke himself. It was a very gratifying moment for me. I had spent a couple hours the previous two days trying to find as much contact information on him as well as gathering some basic information. My efforts payed off and it seems I have learned a thing or thing or two in school on finding people. So while a date and time has yet to be determined I will be interviewing Uncle Luke on his community activism in Liberty City. I won't lie until recently I was unaware that he was so active in the community and was quite intrigued when I came across his latest blog entry: Rebuild Liberty City and Overtown Instead of Tearing Down City Commissioners.

Further reading into his blog, Luke's Gospel proved to be very interesting as well. So after responding to the email I rushed to finish closing my bar so I could come home and do the prep work I need to do. As much as I may have been an Uncle Luke fan and 2 Live Crew fan, I am from an expert on Luther Campbell. I realized that to do a proper interview I would have to spend a few hours gathering a basis from which I can formulate my questions and conversation with him. So here I am on my computer and have been for the last three and half hours doing just that.
