DEL.ICIO.USPorter gets his Nelly on
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Denver — When Stephen Porter scored tickets to a benefit concert by rap-pop artist Nelly at the Democratic National Convention, he took along an unlikely fan of the genre: His father Georgia House Minority Leader DuBose Porter (D-Dublin).
The elder Porter did not embarrass the younger, Stephen Porter, 23, said.
“He could maybe work on his dance moves, though,” he said.
The concert was part of the MySpace IMPACT and Impact Film Festival event, which included a tribute to the Screen Actors Guild.
DuBose Porter said today that the show was terrific and, with a straight face, said an important economic development mission.
“With the impact hip-hop and R&B have on the Georgia economy, it was good to learn more about it,” he said.
