I loved the Revees yesterday and I agree that Obama was robbed in the musical category

(1,357 posts)James Brown was more like a (god)father to Al than his own father was:
"When James found out that Al's father left the family when he was young, Al says James took it upon himself to act as his father figure. "Every two or three weeks he would send for me.
You gotta remember, I'm a kid living in the projects, my mom's a domestic worker, and overnight I'm flying around James Brown's private jet and everybody from Mick Jagger to Michael Jackson is hanging out backstage asking me can they see Mr. Brown. So I automatically have stature now!"

(15,682 posts)I haven't talked to you in ages. (I'm Joannie Baloney, too. Remember me?) I hope things have been good for you.
So I definitely breathed a sigh of relief for Rev Al. Didn't want to see all his excitement crushed by a bad dance move.
It's good to see you!

(1,357 posts)I do remember you (I never forget good deli meat). Nice bumping into you too.
Things are okay - on unemployment so I am on pins and needles waiting for the derp-heads to get their act together. Other than that, all is wonderful! Hope all is groovy for you and yours as well!
