Season 6 continues. It’s called “TRUE ROMANCE!!!!!” and concentrates mainly on music, sound, and originality. YES! I am also your professor of SOUND! Next to GURU, ARTIST, POET, WRITER, PAINTER, DESIGNER, MANAGER, SINGER/SONGWRITER, JAZZ MUSICIAN, COMEDIAN, RADIO HOST, DISC JOCKEY, WHEEL OF FORTUNE HOST, SCIENTIST and not forgetting RAPPER!
Was away for a little a while. Too busy. So busy that I only noticed this morning to my distress that WHITNEY HOUSTON died. THIS CAN’T BE TRUE.
Just recently I commented on her as “poor Whitney”. She wasn’t build for fame. This I knew. That she would die. This is unexpected.
The next song is called”THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL”.
These were my DISCO DAYS secretly next to my SKA DAYS!
Of course I never openly said I liked her DISCO in those days! It was of the highest commercialism and had to keep in mind my less commercial friends. It was also just after SKA with bands like THE SPECIALS and MADNESS and yes I was a RUDE BOY and still am.
Was a serious criminals in those days. My friends were mainly dealers carrying MIAMI VICE automated weapons in OLD AMSTERDAM. I only carried an Ivorian-handled knife which I got for free from an arms dealer. Thanks God.
I do miss OLD AMSTERDAM. Most of the friends of my youth are either dead or in for murder or are lucky to be free again. FOLK LAW does have some advantages sometimes, even though should not be abused of.
These were my ROMANTIC TIMES. Madonna, Lionel Richie, Kylie Minogue, Michael Jackson, WHITNEY HOUSTON, FLASH LIGHTS AND DISCO BALLS!
R&B I can’t really get into even though technically sometimes very good. For me RAP is the last original sound of descent from AFRICA, having come from JAMAICA, just as DISCO did.
I will be looking to her tribute next Saturday. SINGERS BRING WITH THEM UNIQUE FEELINGS. Society is never ready for them and uses them as commercial pawns.
She makes me feel AMERICAN. Maybe that’s why I love her. She’s popularized America in a new WAY.
This one is from her HALL OF FAME time. She was to be heard 24 hours a day on every network in the world, sometimes even irritating, in every jukebox around the planet, in tape and record, on radio and tv, ON MTV and MUSIC BOX, in computer games and movies. She was everywhere!
All thanks to her wonderful VOICE of SOUL background. That’s what you call hard work. Basically and simply another word for it in her case would be: ABUSE.
Bless her Soul†
