WECLOME TO THE PERSONAL
ART WORLD OF LEE JOHNSON
Elegance Personified - Jun 14, 2009, Age 69
The Iconic Barbara Coleman
1971 Fashion Photo Shoot, Washington D.C.
The Iconic Barbara Coleman
By Quinn Coleman
The Iconic Barbara Coleman
Lord knows she had soul, man
In the heart of D.C., a light shone bright
Barbara Coleman, a beacon in the night
With a palette as diverse as her beats
Her life, a canvas of extraordinary feats
From Texas roots to the world's grand stage
She danced through life, defying age
Her brushstrokes bold, her rhythm tight
In art and music, this girl took flight
A queen of style, a muse of sound
It was plain to see she was totally unbound
A DJ with a heart that spun pure gold
In every playlist, another bold story told
From Houston's hustle to D.C.'s streets
Her life a symphony of eclectic beats
With acrylics and collages, she set trends
In her melodies, a message she sends
In the corridors of embassies, her art resides
Across continents, her spirit glides
A foreign service life, adventure in her eyes
In every city, her spirit flies
A designer, a collector, a visionary true
In her vibrant home, cultures brew
From Indo-Chinese art to African grace
Each piece in her collection found its place
Her legacy, a tapestry so rare
In every note, a love affair
With music, art, and life's embrace
She left this world a more beautiful place
So here's to Barbie, DJ supreme
In the halls of art, not just a dream
A life well-lived, a journey grand
In the beat of my heart, she'll forever stand
Lord knows she had soul, man

LIFE BEYOND DEATH
Where does the soul go when we die? Do we wander the earth as a ghost? Do we travel the cosmos as a form of energy? Or perhaps we go to heaven, or hell, or someplace else? These are difficult questions with no certain answers.
Personally, I believe the story does not end at death. Nay, we live on in the minds and the hearts of our dear friends and family. Our continuing presence may be felt the world over for months, years, or even -- perhaps for Barbara -- millennia.
For Barbara Coleman (aka DJ Barbie), the energy she poured into creating hundreds of music stations at RadioSparx.com over the last 10 years will live forever, providing amusement and entertainment to millions upon millions of listeners each month, in over 100 countries around the world. It's an amazing musical legacy befitting the amazing person that Barbara was throughout her life. She quite literally brought music to life, for the entire world!
And while she has physically departed our castle, her spirit shall never leave, and she will be with us forever, in our keep. Long Live Barbara!! We love and miss you beyond words.
XO Lee
