FreeMan, my man... How's the A? The thing is, I always hated Christmas. My step-dad was a union guy and he always seemed like he was on strike. On strike years (being the oldest boy) I would have to wait until after their strike was over before as I'd get presents. Either that or I'd get sent to Texas or we'd move back to the hood (my mom was cray-cray). These songs came out during the few years when I actually had a Christmas at home AND received presents.
Things are good and progressing well down here. But, I am now bicoastal so sometimes A sometimes LA. It's like going 40 then 70 then back to 40 but I'm learning to enjoy 40.
Just dropping a line as we all have music we listen to. You wouldn't believe it but I know damn near all of the early 80's from Boy George, Wham and whomever else was on when videos first came out.
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)
