Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
I saw Aretha do that song live roundabout 2017...believe me, I had no intention of missing Aretha Franklin at the Santa Barbara Bowl knowing the chance would never come again...the Queen of Soul, indeed!
now I hear the FBI kept a file on Aretha back in the civil rights era and J. Edgar Hoover days and we know that J. Edgar was a total trans! but supposedly Aretha was a threat to the whites, mostly the racist Birchers...if you talk about this stuff in school today, the nervous Birchers will scream WOKE and CRT but I don't know why these folks are afraid of theories, esp when they got conspiracy theories streaming out of their ears everday!
anyway Aretha performed for the civil rights movement and that's one reason why I loved her and J. Edgar Hoover faded into oblivion and was buried in pretty pink panties!
I got no problem with the FBI going after traitors, secessionists, insurrectionists or the Boy Scouts, but they shoulda left Aretha alone!
some people want to whitewash local education and there's that Christy nut trying to vote herself onto the Goleta Board of Education in November...recall she failed in her crazy bid for Superintendent of Schools...she even appeared on FOX News yapping about Wokeness...VOTERS NEED TO SHOW HER THE DOOR!!! she's bad news!
education is not that hard to figure out: teach the basics early, then expand as students grow up...always a good idea to learn the language of the borders and I'm not talking about Cajun and ebonics..I'm talking about French and Spanish, although technically Spain is nowhere near the US border...
My SB Junior High yearbook is filled with many cultures but still Americans...my friends were Asian, black, white, Latinos, surfers and greasers...and I had the hots for a German chick!
and Aretha was on the radio...
the sweetness of youth
