Stan, Terry & Barack Obama
Count me in as one of those people who never thought a Black man would be elected President of the USA in their life time. You can also count me in as one of the millions that got weepy during Barack Obama’s acceptance speech. To quote The Funk Master General, George Clinton “To each his reach and if I don’t cop, it wasn’t mine to have”. I think that sums up this entire election campaign. Chocolate City and Paint The White House Black have been in heavy rotation in my car these past couple of days.
While I was watching the election returns Tuesday evening, I saw a commercial featuring Tony Curtis in a red Cadillac convertible, surrounded by a handful of fabulous babes. After seeing it, I knew Terry’s spirit was in a groovy place, and Obama was going to win the election.
Terry was a huge Tony Curtis fan, and last year, Terry and I had a blast hanging with Tony in the studio, and later that evening at Hollywood Boulevard, in Woodridge, IL. Tony was on the mend and told us his doctor had all but written him off. But there he was; honeys all around him and a big cheese eating grin on his face. If it’s possible, that’s how Terry’s spending his time in the sweet bye and bye.
Pick-up games and HORSE instead of wars to settle disputes at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!
