the last book i read was "devil in the white city." i really enjoyed that.music, but i do not read as much as i should. i just do not. tavis: speaking of music, i have in my little hands -- a little birdie gave me a copy of this. >> [laughs] tavis: tell me about this cd in,spedir i suspect, by "hatfields & mccoys." but this is you and your band, 19 tracks on this. >> yes, yes. it is a concept record. i got deeper into this than i ever thought that i would and i came out of it, you know, with my band and wrote the theme to the movie, "i know these hills," then just kept writing music. my daughter sings on it, writes on it, and it is called "famous for killing each other." so when i say "concept," i am just simply saying that every song on there is about that experience, about those people. tavis: kevin costner's band, for those who do not know -- i know kevin costner and modern west. how did you come up with that one, modern west? >> that was the worst part of this whole musical thing for me coming back into music. there's one moment where we're playing and t

this doesn't really happen in the white cities and towns.ppens in detroit and flint and pontiac and even small towns that are mostly african-american, like benton harbor. what's going to happen? i think it's going to get repealed. i think that the majority of michiganders are fed up with this. this law has been suspended already because of the election, and yet now they've gone back and said, well, now that the snyder law has been suspended, so we're going to go back and put the old law in place. the old law was repealed when the snyder law was passed. so as far as i'm concerned, they're still operating with these emergency managers, and i think some people tomorrow or the next day will go to court to try to stop this. but, look, i think this is going to go okay. look, this is romney's home state and amongst older people, there's a sentiment for romney, so there will be a large, i think, turnout for him here in michigan. i don't think he'll win. i mean, we know -- we know more about the surface of mars right now than we know do mitt romney's

have people read the double in the white city? that starts with frank on the titanic and was his idea. they're desperate. they were up against a terribly tight deadline and they were covered with plaster and frank came up with the idea of painting the whole place white and he even invented a spray painting with a gas pipe and a compressor, so he was a remarkable. he also painted murals and was involved in the presenting of the biggest display of american art and culture ever seen anywhere in italy and showcasing of american art at the chicago world's fair led to the idea of an american academy in rome which paris was in the center of the art world, rome was because they were thought to be what all artists should emulate and all countries, spain, had academy is there. with america coming of age was time that america had an academy and of course the project was spearheaded by charles, the man who was the architect who designed the building that we are all sitting in this beautiful renaissance. and of course the big money man of the

and most of the white voters in that city bolted by not staying with the democratic party. they went with independent white candidates. indeed, one was president in 19 '88 of the cook county democratic party, and ran as an independent against a party. this is how much revolt that was going on. and over-the-counter words that went in. here it looks like what president obama is going through with republicans today. i didn't think about that until now. and so he had a hard road to hoe in sort of navigating against the garment but he did not ever let up on issues regarding the need to challenge racism when it occurred, and also racial inequality in that city. >> but he did lament the fact as you mentioned at the end of his campaign that for all the work he did and for all the trying, that coalition, particularly with lights, was miniscule. he hoped it would be much more broad-based? >> i picked up the story i could from david axelrod. i didn't interview him, but in an interview he had done some newspaper story, he talked about working with mayor washington and how he and others

tonight i see the face of a child, he lives in a great city, he's black or he's white, he's mexican, italian, polish, none of that matters. what matters, he's an american child. that child, in that great city, is more important than any politician's promise. he is america. he is a poet. he is a scientist. he's a great teacher. he's a proud craftsman. he's everything we ever hoped to be and everything we dare dream to be. he sleeps the sleep of childhood, he dreams the dreams of a child and yet when he awakens he awakens to a living nightmare poverty, neglect, and despair. he fails in school. he ends up on welfare. for him, the american system is one that feeds his stomach and starves his soul. it breaks his heart. and in the end, it may take his life on some distant battlefield. to millions of children in this rich land, this is their prospect for the future but this is only part of what i see in america. i see another child tonight, and he hears the train go by. at night he dreams of faraway places, where he'd like to go seems like an union touchable dream -- untouchable dream. but h
