    What I noticed most about "The Flushing Pimp" is that it was very real to me. It came from a true source of his family, not just assumptions, and it let us see another side of the guy. I think Radiorookies did a very good job explaining and investigating on The Flushing Pimp's life. Now, we all know that he wasn't just some crazy guy dressed like a pimp walking down the street, he had a life we never would've known about. When Andrea said "In the end, I felt that she cared a lot and loved her brother, and she missed him a lot", it made me feel lonely for her. Although he had many problems, and I'm sure there were times when his sister really couldn't handle him, it let me know that some family love never goes away. Another part that I liked was the fact that his sister actually told her brother's story to Radio Rookies. She was very honest and open about it, and because of that, now people know who he was, and his story and life can live on within us. This stood out to me, because it was surprising to me that she would talk about a personal subject like this to teenagers she didn't know. I agreed with the podcasters and the sister that his story should be passed on. One reason I say this is because I know that people never really knew him as a "person". They only saw him as some crazy pimp looking guy always walking on Main Street. But when you really hear the story, you start to understand the different layers of personality and pain he had. Another reason I agree with it is because I feel like if his story is passed on, everything he went through can be relived through us. I enjoyed this podcast a lot, it was very informational and interesting to watch.

    I'm learning more about this incident now about the crisis of the band breaking up. I was researching this question online, and this article caught my attention because it explained what was going on between the two band members. "Aerosmith drummer Joe Perry has said the band "won't wait" for Steven Tyler to get back involved with the band after the singer stated that he's not leaving. Tyler joined Perry on stage recently to make the declaration following rumours that he had left the rockers. Now Perry has told Billboard that Tyler wanted a two-year break from the band - but he wants to keep going. The quote here I chose is basically saying that there is conflict between Tyler and Perry. Although it is not certain that Tyler will leave the band, the two seems to be losing what they once had as band members.
