Imagine for a moment that there were Negro Leaguers who were so skillful they could lay down bunts that allowed for them to not only get on base but the player who was on first could advance from first to third base…

Purple. Rain. Was. Semi. Autobiographical.
Prince snatches Jill Jones up because he befriended Teena Marie while opening up this tour but turned around and had Teena open his Dirty Mind Tour later the same year. Jill Jones sang background for Teena. She joins Prince’s band for a hot minute then Prince steals Rick’s girl & names her Vanity…
If I was old enough to catch the bus by myself (and had more than $5 ever), I would have loved to go to Rick James first tour, Fire It Up. It had little known Teena Marie whose album he was producing for Motown and Prince as his opening act.
We need "All about Eve" type biopic about that tour.🎶🎸

Thinking about how l bought this performance and others on a dvd send from Asia. Can’t remember what country. It was a purchase set up from someone on eBay.
Ok, I was calling him black shirt, silver pants and boots. 😂
The thing is that they were ALL so talented. There should have been room enough for all of them. But the music industry seems to pit people against each other every time— especially if they're Black and similar genre or style.

Can confirm. Nothing has changed on the ground. ICE still attacking people, kidnapping, all that stuff—and the city is still out protecting and helping neighbors
Absolutely surreal to continue to hear about drawdowns and lowered temperatures and things calming down in Minneapolis when, as far as I can tell, literally nothing has changed on the ground

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

The Rick James vs. Prince & Michael Jackson vs. Prince debates pretty much took up 1980 to 1989…
In early 1980, you had three records on your floor: “Off The Wall”, “Fire It Up” & “Prince”…
Rick James could never replicate his “Street Songs” era success from 1981 but Prince only got bigger.

Something my mom taught me about adolescent lying that I think about all the time as a teacher of young people: the details of their stories might be partially fabricated but the emotional truth is what the kid is desperate for you to hear/feel/know.
