And while I get it, I’ll always pick Ani as my favorite. I’m OLD! Saw her at the University of Georgia back in like ‘96 or so in a room with less than fifty people. Fucking amazing. It was her rubber shorts period, too!

Exactly this. I browsed a reddit thread about this for far too long just hoping that one commenter would point out that a) Adele and Beyonce have totally different voices and music genres, b) Beyonce can easily just stand there and sing her ass off - Ave Maria anyone? - just as proficiently but chooses to incorporate…

Yep. She was abused in a myriad of ways by the adults around her. Check out the podcast ‘You Must Remember This’ for even more sad details... Judy’s life was insane to be so short.

Um, I’m pretty sure Dorothy is just a nurse, not an addict.

Even worse was the fact that she was molested by Louis B Mayer... repeatedly.

I have to add that not all schools and chapters believed in it. My mother is far darker than a paper bag and not only was an academically celebrated AKA but also homecoming queen of her small Alabama college.

She works her ass off, though. Didn’t come cheap.

Omg her first EP is my personal soundtrack. Feels like redemption for me, a black nerd since my birth in the late seventies. I used to feel like I might be the only one in the universe back in school. Now I know better!

So. Much. Amazing. Music!

... Remove history? Holy shit. I know that things in the UK are getting as batshit crazy as the US, but that is amazingly ridiculous.

Naw... This is straight up Solange hipster ironic yet not really cheesiness.

I’m a Virgo too... I kinda get how obsessed she is. I’m obsessed with the occult and Scifi /fantasy... She’s obsessed with herself. Makes sense considering her vocation.

37 weeks. Ready for this to be done! #sleepingonmytummy

It becomes doubly depressing when you read back to back against the Obama address from last year.

Because Kanye doesn’t give a shit about anyone who isn’t Kanye.

I grew up in Atlanta so they really couldn’t get away with NOT teaching us these things. So many fabulous teachers, especially the ones who were openly radical. But if half your school is black, that is how it goes.

I feel like I should be really upset that you don’t know who that is, however I will just gently suggest you hit up Wikipedia about the man and the court ruling. Primo history stuff, that.

I like the way you think.

I didn’t even clock him as country... I thought he was a blues artist! Love his mumbly ass. Check out his SNL performances for optimum keyboard player badassery!
