Edith Worthy
Boniface Human Services, defender of little people
Metro Times: What is one thing that you want to get done before the millennium kicks in?
Edith Worthy: Finish writing my two books: Much Love, a book about street gangs, and All Men Are Not Dogs, a book about relationships.
MT: In the event that the Y2K problem is as bad as the dooomsayers say, are you doing anything to prepare for it?

Worthy: Malik Yoba.
MT: Who will you be spending it with?
Worthy: A very good friend.
MT: What's your favorite Prince song?
Worthy: "Little Red Corvette," because of personal memories.
"Qadhafi"
Not-so-incognito reggae junkie
Metro Times: What is one thing that you want to get done before the millennium kicks in?
Qadhafi: Nothing special. I just take things one day at a time. By taking care of my day-to-day business, things work out in the long run. People have too many negative thoughts, resulting in negative results. The year 2000 is only negative if you make it that way.
MT: In the event that the Y2K problem is as bad as the dooomsayers say, are you doing anything to prepare for it?
Qadhafi: It's like above. If people put out negative energy, negative things will happen. I have complete confidence that the problem will be taken care of. But just in case, I'm going to conduct all of my transactions in cash and make sure my money is within easy reach.
MT: Who would you like to spend New Year's with?
Qadhafi: Um, the lady with the "J."
MT: Who will you be spending it with?
Qadhafi: Well, that's who I should be spending it with.
MT: What's your favorite Prince song?
Qadhafi: "Automatic," because I had a beautiful love life at the time.
