Shaft is a bad mother...

Isaacbaby_2 Isaac Hayes is the best part of my day.

You see, isaachayes.net mysteriously sends me e-mail updates at work.  I assume this is related to my last name also being “Hayes,” because I have never actually visited said website.

I could remove myself, but I’ve come to enjoy these peeks into the life of everyone’s favorite singer of, um, Shaftandsomeotherstuff. My heart skips when “Isaac Hayes News” sails into my inbox! (And that’s not a dirty euphemism).

Tv_south_park_2Fun Facts: When Issac played at Harrah’s in Kansas City, he “sounded best during the old-school testifying of I Stand Accused.”  Also, Chef was honored at VH1’s recent Movie’s Rock thingamadohickey, where LL Cool J sang the theme from Shaft.

Did you know these things? I did. Because we’re super close now, me and Isaac.  Here’s a Sean Daly style playlist for Issac and Steph's hot e-mail showmance.
