If you've ever seen <i>The Wire</i>, DeAndre has some cameos as Brother Muzone's bodyguard in seasons 2 and 3. At the end of the last episode in <i>The Corner</i> miniseries, Charles Dutton interviews the real Fran, DeAndre, and Tyreeka. It seems like Fran is doing well, but DeAndre is still struggling with drug dependency. I wonder how things are going now. That’s very cool.

I don't have HBO. I have never been able to finish the book, b/c I get too sad. I haven't been around that area of Baltimore too much, but I've worked in Govans and Pigtown, so I didn't have to work too hard to picture the lives in the book. I met Charles S. Dutton, who directed the miniseries, when he came to my college and spoke. He signed my book. I also met Francine Boyd, and DeAndre McCullough at a church in SW Baltimore in 2000 when they spoke to my sociology class. It was good to see that they were doing pretty well.
