Luther Campbell "The Book of Luke: My Fight for Truth, Justice, and Liberty City"

08/10/15 - In the 1980’s, Luke Skyywalker and 2-Live Crew were blasphemy in South Florida.  It all led to a hip-hop obscenity hullabaloo which engulfed Luke’s Liberty City-raised alter-ego, Luther Campbell. He was a hip-hop innovator--a hustler--blasting unbelievable “Miami Bass” laced with shock lyrics.  Urban teens partied to it. Now there’s a 21st Century Luther Campbell—and he’s written an autobiography: "The Book of Luke: My Fight for Truth, Justice, and Liberty City."We’ll hear from him on the next Topical Currents . . . Monday, at 1pm.

WLRN Radio's Joseph Cooper says producing and hosting Topical Currents is the most rewarding experience of his long radio career, which began at the University of Missouri School of Journalism in the 1970s.
Richard Ives came to WLRN in September 2000 to begin a new career in radio. Born in Fort Lauderdale, his family moved to Long Island, New York, where he grew up. After graduation from college and an unsatisfying stint in a job that, as he puts it, "paid the bills but for which I had no passion" he found himself contemplating a midlife career change after being laid-off.
