Bobby Lee Rush (born November 23, 1946) is the U.S. Representative for Illinois's 1st congressional district, serving since 1993. The district is located principally on the South Side of Chicago with its population percentage being 65% African-American, higher than any other congressional district in the nation.
A member of the Democratic Party, he holds the distinction of being the only person to defeat President Barack Obama in an election which he did in the 2000 Democratic primary for Illinois' 1st congressional district.
Rush was born on November 23, 1946 in Albany, Georgia. After his mother and father separated when he was 7, Rush, his siblings and their mother moved to Chicago, Illinois. In 1963 after dropping out of high school, Rush joined the U.S. Army. While stationed in Chicago in 1966, he joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. In 1968, he went AWOL from the Army and co-founded the Illinois chapter of the Black Panthers. He later received an honorable discharge from the Army. Rush, is also a member of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.
The Recording Academy, also known as The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS), is a U.S. organization of musicians, producers, recording engineers and other recording professionals dedicated to improving the quality of life and cultural condition for music and its makers. The Recording Academy is headquartered in Santa Monica. Neil Portnow is the current president of The Academy.
The Recording Academy, which began in 1957, is known for its Grammy Awards. In 1997, the Recording Academy launched The Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, Inc., which produces the Latin GRAMMY Awards. Michael Greene was the founder and the first President of the Latin Grammys.
The origin of the Academy dates back to the beginning of the 1950s Hollywood Walk of Fame project. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce asked the help of major recording industry executives in compiling a list of people in the music business who should be honored by Walk of Fame stars. The music committee, made up of these executives, compiled a list, but as they worked, they realized there were many more talented industry people who would not qualify to be recognized with a Hollywood Boulevard bronze star. The founding committee members included Jesse Kaye, MGM Records; Lloyd Dunn and Richard Jones, Capitol Records; Sonny Burke and Milt Gabler, Decca Records; Dennis Farnon, RCA Records; and Axel Stordahl, Paul Weston, and Doris Day from Columbia Records. This was the start of the Academy and also of the GRAMMY Awards.

I've got issues, so does everyone.
That never stopped you from sleeping with this loaded gun.
I'm sorry for everything I have done (everything I have done).
And now you're telling me
That I am the one that won't amount to no good.
I'd never die for you, not even if I could.
And I am the one that's always misunderstood.
I'd never die for you, even if I could.
Die for you, you know I never would.
Mommy's little monster,
Wrapped inside a box.
Can't forgive her,
She threw away the f'kng key.
I'll haunt her
For the rest of her life (for the rest of her life).
You're always telling me
That I am the one that won't amount to no good.
I'd never die for you, not even if I could.
And I am the one the one that's always misunderstood.
I'd never die for you, even if I could.
Die for you, you know I never would.
You know that I can never forgive you.
You wear it out.
You break me down (you break me down).
You're always telling me
That I am the one that won't amount to no good.
I'd never die for you, not even if I could.
And I am the one the one that's always misunderstood.
I'd never die for you, even if I could.
Die for you, you know I never would.
You know, you know I never would
You know, you know I never would
You know, you know I never would
