Quote:

WINSTON-SALEM N.C. (Reuters) - U.S. author and poet Maya Angelou has died at age 86 in North Carolina, local media reported on Wednesday, citing her agent and a local official.

Angelou provided eloquent commentary on race, gender and living life to its fullest in poems and memoirs such as "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," which brought her wide acclaim after its 1970 publication.

I haven't heard anything about her in years and years. Doesn't mean I thought she was dead...but it isn't unreasonable if people did think she had already passed.

I posted that because I hear about her a lot for an older person.

Maybe im just more tapped into the poetry culture

Maybe. You also have a child. I remember a pretty big focus on Maya Angelou from school.

True.

And she's a favorite subject of most rappers.

I just happened to know she was alive. I was mostly kidding.

She was pretty good during her time on SNL.

... no, dickface, I'm not actually mistaking her for Maya Rudolph ...
