    Rebel, I have told to my daughter, and been told by my parents, lies. But this one is new and fresh to me. Do you mind if I use it?

    lol. How old are your kids? At the time I didn't know what homosexuality was, and the only voodoo I knew about was from Gilligan's Island. I wasn't repelled enough. If they are younger you might need to come up with better scare tactics--

    "If you listen to rap music, your thumbs will turn blue and fall off." or

    "If you swear, your tongue will turn to stone."

    I was the third brother of five,

    Doing whatever I had to do to survive.

    I'm not saying what I did was alright,

    Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day fight.


    Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind,

    I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find.

    You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure,

    Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester.


    Across 110th Street,

    Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak

    Across 110th Street,

    Pushers won't let the junkie go free.

    Across 110th Street,

    Woman trying to catch a trick on the street.

    Across 110th Street,

    You can find it all in the street.


    I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now.

    Hey brother, there's a better way out.

    Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man you're copping out.

    Take my advice, it's either live or die.

    You've got to be strong, if you want to survive.


    The family on the other side of town,

    Would catch hell without a ghetto around.

    In every city you find the same thing going down,

    Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town.

    Across 110th Street,

    A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ouh baby

    Across 110th Street,

    You can find it all in the street.

    Yes he can, oh


    Look around you, just look around you,

    Look around you, look around you, uh yeah.

    HL, Whatayatalkin about, Just go watch Pulp Fiction with JT @ Jack Rabbit Slims.

    White men may not be able to jump but some of them sure know how to shake rattle and roll.

    Disco was condemned in the 70's.

    Today disco is played at most JW receptions and draws a huge crowd onto the floor.

    YMCA by the village people is quite popular at these events.

    I remember reading an old Consolation (forerunner to Awake) saying jazz and blues were from the devil.

    When I faded from the truth (adventist not JW) I lived for soul music and disco for several years. Still love the music now. Me and my wife boogied last year to Gwen Dickie (formerly of Rose Royce) in Blackpool last year.

    Oh man how yummy. There were hundreds of handsome guys just like that at the concert we went to on FEB 14th with Carl Carlton, The Chilites, The Dramatics and the Stylistics. If anything ever happens to Andy, I am thinking about getting me one of those.
