Actually, Mayor Nagin needs to get "un-pimped".

Hey, C-man -- I got to meet Xzibit a few weeks ago. He surprised me. I don't watch MTV and have never heard of "Pimp My Ride." I was told that Mr. X was also a "hip-hop artist," which means rapper, right? In any case, he certainly looked like a rapper, a gangsta Black Guy with Attitude type of character -- scar on his face and bandanna tied rakishly on his head, the whole bit -- rather intimidating to a middle-aged un-hip Whitey-Northern-European-type gal like myself.

Because he looked pretty tough and also because I wasn't familiar with his work, I wasn't really looking forward to chatting with him. But I was getting paid to do so ... and you know, the guy was a real prince! He was sweetly polite in a sincerely kind sort of manner, soft-spoken, humorous, very comfortable to be around, and had a highly admirable philosophy of hard work and perserverance -- the EXACT OPPOSITE of what his appearance led me to believe he might be.

Just wanted to share that!
