We lost some great people: Grover Washington-Waymond Tisdale-Isaac Hayes-Levi Stubbs-James Brown-and Michael Jackson from the music world. They help me so much in my music development. George Carlin-Richard Pryor-and Bernie Mack made me laugh. I was always a Kennedy fan. I also lost a best friend in 2005 and my high school sweetheart the very next year. My Lakers won 4 championships along with the Dbacks in 2001. Even the sorryass Cardinals got to the Superbowl last year. America elected a black president in 2008, 50 plus years after segregation raised it's ugly head.
