The Black Informant

African-American culture, news commentary, politics

Friday REwind

It is amazing what your mind can see when you close your eyes while listening. Just a few chords on the keyboard can send you back some 15-20+ years through the pages of your memory. When I heard Chaka Khan’s ‘I feel for you’ the other day, I could see myself driving in my 1984 white Honda Accord driving across the Betsy Ross Bridge heading towards Center City, Philly to buy some clothes or electronics. I can still see myself trying on several skinny ties (some with the piano print) and some baggy pants. You could not tell me anything with my pull-out cassette car stereo that was installed by yours truly (scared!). What was so stupid about those things was that there were not too many people that would take the stereo with them. Then there are those trips to either Cherry Hill or Moorestown mall. Both places were the epicenter of jelly bracelets, the mullet (guys) and big hair (girls).

Time waits for no man.

Peace and enjoy the weekend!
