In a small conservative Florida town in the 1980s, eight patients alleged that Dr. David Acer, their dentist, infected them with HIV. David’s gayness, along with his sickly appearance from his own AIDS-related illness, made him the perfect scapegoat and victim of mob mentality. In these early years of the AIDS epidemic, when transmission was little understood, and homophobia rampant, people like David were villainized. Accuser Kimberly Bergalis landed a People magazine cover story, while others went on talk shows and made front page news.With a poet’s eulogistic and psychological intensity, Steven Reigns recovers the life and death of this man who also stands in for so many lives destroyed not only by HIV, but a diseased society that used stigma against the most vulnerable. It’s impossible not to make connections between this story and how the twenty- first century pandemic has also been defined by medical misinformation and cultural bias.Inspired by years of investigative research into the lives of David and those who denounced him, Reigns has stitched together a hauntingly poetic narrative that retraces an American history, questioning the fervor of his accusers, and recuperating a gay life previously shrouded in secrecy and shame.Host James Lott Jr chats with Steven about the process for this book, its subject matter and the feeligns it evokes. stevenreigns.com aquiltfordavid.com

Blak Emoji is the brainchild of NYC producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Kelsey Warren. Blending pop inspirations with an emphasis on electronic music, synth sounds and intricate writing, Kelsey's sonic dream is brought to life. The debut Blak Emoji EP, "INTRO" (2017) was the first of several successive releases with two albums, a sophomore EP and now a third album due in October. Warren has received a variety of accolades from notable publications including Rolling Stone, Afro-Punk, Line Best Of Fit, BUST, Popmuzik, Vampire Freaks and Ghost Cult Magazine. Blak Emoji songs "Velvet Ropes & Dive Bars" and "Poison To Medicine" made their way to ABC's Quantico while "Sapiosexual" appeared in several indie films.Warren was immersed in soul/R&B and pop music growing up in South Jersey. But after learning piano concertos, jazz guitar standards, drums and other instruments, Warren threw in a monkey wrench of hip-hop, punk and minimalist classical which took his sonic journey to new destinations. He supplemented his ever-expanding musical taste with a dense love of electronic music and synth inspiration from Kraftwerk to Prince to NIN. In 2019, Warren miraculously managed to assemble a brief European solo tour, a solo NYC residency, and he decided to produce and direct a debut political/musical documentary covering the presidential election. Quarantine didn't prove to slow down Warren who has spent the duration of the pandemic producing numerous artists, directing music videos and dropping an avant-electronic instrumental Blak Emoji album, "Antidote". In anticipation of his forthcoming album, Warren has released two singles which have received noted acclaim from Wonderland and Fame Magazine. The album is due October 1st of 2021.Hosrt James Lott Jr has a great conversation about Prince, Trent Reznor, musical styles, the process and more! blakemoji.com#blakemoji #music #artists
