Yesterday I listened to Nicole C. Mullen, Rich Mullins and Ash Mundae.

My music collection just plays from my phone all day, in alphabetical order.

It was a fortunate coincidence. Yesterday was a BLEEP of a day. I needed some Nicole C. Mullen, Rich Mullins and Ash Mundae to get me through.



I've got the whole world on the other line
But I wanna talk to You

saw a doco called 'What happened to Nina Simone'

I didnt know a lot of Americans went to Liberia, its not really talked about much. Miss Simone had a hard time in the civil rights era but she was a brilliant musician.

Imagine being trained as a classical musician but the only place you can make a living is in clubs and bars cos the conservatory or orchestra wont accept you because of your race.

I was listening to Ginny Owens yesterday. Always good to hear her albums come around in the rotation.




You're free to dance
Forget about your two left feet
And you're free to sing
Even joyful noise is music to Me
And free to live
Cause I've given you My love
And it's made you free

Brill Building...I found out 4 songs that made it 'brilliant'

Oh Carol
Leader of the Pack
Will you still love me tomorrow
Sugar Sugar

I am a bit disturbed by Sugar Sugar...its very addictive lol

iTs on Netflix 'Pop songs' . I also watched about Boyz II Men...yes...I was also a 12 year old girl when THEY came out.

Then some doco about Britney vs Spears. So basically if you dont know what happened after she shaved her hair off ...she got a divorce from KFed, had a breakdown and her estranged step dad took over her life and got her to work like a monkey and made all her decisions for her. ?! I now know what a 'conservatorship' is and that her family claimed she suffered from Dementia. which she doesnt. But anything to take control and lock her up right?

It also mentioned her dad came clean and was apparently now converted by the Cavalry Chapel. But it seems her family was very dysfunctional anyway and he was alcoholic and abusive to her mother, which was why they split. Britney's mother likes to portray herself as a saint and her daughter an angel, but they are human just like the rest of us.

I have no idea why, but churches LOVED Britney and claimed her as one of their own. Especially when she got famous, but as far as I know she never recorded or sang gospel in public.

What kind of zoo do you find a perplexapus in? 😬
Well this would be at the Krumbeard zoo! Haha!

As of a few weeks ago, I had no idea what a perplexapus was.

It's a clear ball with a 3d maze inside. There is a steel ball that you try to get through the maze without it falling out of the maze.

Two years ago dad gave me something similar - a big plastic ball with a metal rod stuck through it. The rod had a ball on each end and the big ball had slots, and the objective was to navigate the rod through all the slots.

As I am a veteran of many JRPGs, it lasted about seven minutes.

Whitney Houston

remix of I wanna Dance with Somebody

Now with understated finger clicks which is the sound of the 21st century

Remember when everyone went unplugged and acoustic? They should just remove all the background music and have Whitneys voice unacompanied.

Jesus loves me

She advocated violent revolution rather than Martin Luther King Jr.'s non-violent approach.
She hoped that African Americans could use armed combat to form a separate state, though
she wrote in her autobiography that she and her family regarded all races as equal.

That may have had something to do with it.

no I that was AFTER, she was wasnt accepted not before.

This happened when she was young and she was going to get into Juillard. She was trained by a white church lady taught her Classical piano. At the time, few black people could afford piano lessons.

when you read a book, Magenta, do you actually read from beginning to the end or backwards? Cos sometimes it seems you mix things up an jump to conclusions about things. This happens often I noticed and I seem to be correcting your erroneous asssumptions quite a lot. Dont get angry with me.

Nina Simone famously sang Dont Let me Be misunderstood.
But she was often misunderstood.

And it was hard being Nina Simone. Of course she turned a lot of fans off with her political views. But she needed to express them as at the time people were not just not listening and things werent right or happening for her people.

As anyone in the minority knows when you are the first or only person to look like you do in a room, its just not easy.

You rarely say anything to me nor I to you, so this peculiar idea you have of
correcting me quite a lot is as erroneous and misguided as much of what you say.

It's only fair. You make many assumptions about many groups of people, often based on fiction you have seen on tv. What's wrong with somebody else making assumptions about you once in awhile?
