I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Man... a legend. Such a tremendous talent and major influence on me and so much of the music I love. She was a titan.

RIP

My father is going to be in mourning for daaaaaays. When Diana Ross kicks it we'll probably have to put him in a home.

Damn. We were supposed to see her at NOLA Jazz Fest the same year PJ was there but she backed out at the last minute and Earth, Wind & Fire filled in. The wife made us leave.

She was the definition of a legend.

RIP

RIP. I was lucky enough to see her at a charity gala about ten years ago. I danced my ass off and so did everyone else. She was magnetic.
