Suli Breaks – Parents Are The Hardest People To Please (Video)
Since the beginning of time parents have heard the phrase “You don’t understand me?” come out of their children’s mouth. If not, have at least seen the thought process flash through their child’s mind, exemplified by a “sigh” or a slamming of a door after an argument. Is this merely a part of growth, a rebellious phrase every child must go through to achieve maturity or is there an aspect that is overlooked?
Taken from the ITunes versions of his EP “The Dormroom” Suli Breaks addresses the issue of the misunderstanding that exists between Parents and their children. In “Parents are the hardest people to please”, he touches on his experiences as a young adult attempting to purse his success, and the negativity that he and so many other experience from their parents as a result of this. He comments on the borderline hypocritical attitude that it’s sometimes adopted that does not allow a child to flourish outside of the constraints of the society which their parents have subjected them to. He states that
“I don’t believe that one party is always wrong and the other always right. I believe it’s alternates, hence the need for there to be an understanding between parents and their children and acknowledge that they both want the best for each other”
Much like crowd favorite on the downloadable version of the EP on his website “The Fountain Of Youth” Suli Breaks is calling for all parents to acknowledge that they can learn just as much from their children as their children can learn from them, and visa versa.

Woman Attacks Lester Chambers Over Trayvon Martin Tribute
America. From FUSE TV:
Chambers, 73, was performing at the Hayward Russell City Blues Festival in Hayward, California, when a 43-year-old woman, identified by police as Dinalynn Andrews Potter, jumped onstage and knocked Chambers down. Chambers’ wife, Lola, told the Mercury News that the singer had just dedicated Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions’ “People Get Ready” to Martin, saying that if Mayfield were alive today, he’d change the lyrics from “there’s a train a comin'” to “there’s a change a comin’.”
Andrews Potter was wrestled to the ground and subdued by stage hands, and Chambers was wheeled away to an ambulance. As the video shows, he was still in good spirits, even flashing a peace sign. Chambers was treated at the hospital and released. A photo posted to Facebook by his son, Dylan, shows Chambers’ injuries: a “bruised rib muscle and nerve damage and he is sore all over,” wrote Dylan.
