This short clip of Brooklyn’s Mos Def, offering greetings while performing at the most recent edition of a Muslim-led arts festival held annually (in mid-July) on the southside of Chicago, is an appropriate choice to end our break of about 3 odd weeks. We’ll be getting slowly back into the swing of things.

* The footage, by the way, is from the soon-to-be released documentary film, “Takin it to the Streets Live, which focuses on the festival.
