@oldschoolbx1970 ...operative word: Powerless 105...c'mon now!

[MrKenndawg]

@oldschoolbx1970 It would'nt do a thing. We don't even respect the classic 'Wake Up Everybody'. And that speaks to us even more directly. Won't/Don't change a thing. Pants hanging off our asses...hating ourselves...etc, etc, etc....

[Capcoor]

I disagree with the sentiment.To prevent that,you know what you have to do.However,Curtis was a master.
