Old School Music of the Day

The album became one of the most memorable soul albums and, based upon its themes, the concept album became the frontier for soul music. It has been called “the most important and passionate record to come out of soul music, delivered by one of its finest voices”.”

Today’s Thoughts

I’ve been telling you how I love to garden and I’ve been prying into the homes of some of our favorite stars. So, It is only fitting that I show you where I rest after my walks.

Six Sweet Potato Vines

I have identified 6. All of which I have planted in my garden or in surrounding pots. The lime green colored one that we all love is the most beautiful

BET’s 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award Goes to Prince

The highlight of last night’s show for me was the overdue awarding of the Lifetime Achievement Award to Prince Rogers Nelson. In his acceptance speech, Prince thanked the crowd and said, “I do believe the future is in good hands, I’ve seen so much talent here tonight. He continued on to say, “I was pretty wild in my younger days and you don’t have to do what I do.”

I remember that wildness with “Soft and Wet”, 1978, “I Wanna Be [...]

Anyway, Mr. Dozier doesn’t need my social commentary. Just listen. I’ve also taken the liberty of adding the lyrics in case you miss any phrases. Enjoy!

Fish Ain’t Bitin’

I’m out here fighting, hungry
The fish ain’t biting
Life’s so frightening
I’m out here stumbling

Today’s Thoughts

How inappropriate is it when people friend you on Facebook and you never hear from them again? They stay out there like voyeurs, reading your status, eavesdropping on your comments, and looking at your latest pictures.

Your first inclination is to touch basis with these people by leaving something on their wall. Maybe they didn’t get your confirmation and they don’t know you’re now friends. “How’ve you been?” you post. “It’s good to hear from you.”
