I still do, but the card isn’t activated, just to mess with the thieves

This thread brought back some fond memories. Growing up, the old Polk Theater phone # was 388-1972. Our home number was 388-1927. If you were unfortunate enough to misdial and either my brother or I answered, you were NOT getting the information you wanted! My parents/my sister tried to do the right thing, but my brother and I made up stuff on the fly!

This came out in 1971. IMO, this is the undisputed best Supremes track, and I’m including when Diana Ross was up front! A little psychedelic, a LOT of funk, but at its heart, a girl singing about a boy:

4 pages. Not ONE mention of the GG that sang on the most #1 songs in history. The Andantes. They weren’t considered “pretty” enough to be upfront like the Supremes, but they sang like angels and backed up every other artist/group at Motown Records.

Took my oldest two grandsons there last summer. They loved it and I had a better time than I expected. The interactive exhibits were a lot of fun for all of us

Not at all surprised. As usual, they’re stalling for time and using Israel for an excuse to renege

BTW, do you think Harris was in touch with the Black or Asian communities?

Not one bit. She was the female Obama with absolutely NO political skills.

I got an online Democrat oriented poll just now. Evidently, we black folks are still expected to be in lock step with the Democrats. Most all of the questions asked were typical talking points with the words “ As a Black American” included. I’m afraid that my answers were NOT what the pollster wanted to hear! Examples:

1. Do you think Nancy Mace (my Congresswoman) is in touch with Black Americans? She’s doing OK as far as representing ME

2. Republicans attacking the ACA have driven up medical costs for Black Americans. Do you agree that Democrats would be more likely to manage healthcare for BA? No, things would get worse

3. Donald Trump supports tax cuts for billionaires and millionaires at the expense of average Americans. Do you feel Democrats would be better at tax policy? I can quote my exact response: “Over 50% of Americans pay nothing in federal taxes. Our government needs to be better at controlling the tax revenue that is already generated.”

This particular poll had the usual Agree/Disagree click to respond replies, but some questions had space for more through responses and I took full advantage.

I doubt if my name/number comes up on their contact list again!

LOVE Bitches Brew.

We need more horns in this thread:

Missed free throws cost Florida. They’re called “free” for a reason.

Have you ever listened to “Sign O’ The Times” in its entirety? If so, even tho I disagree with your premise, I respect your opinion. To me, Prince’s only musical peer was Stevie Wonder and Stevie was before his time. Here’s one of my favorite tracks from Prince, and it was never released as a single!
