Real Talk Live 216 Celebrating Black Music Month: GOING BLACK IN THE DA DAY

June 28, 2014

Oohhh... Do you remember?  Billie Jean, Control, Fight the Power, Cool It Now and Roxann, Roxann!!!!

Oh My God! Michael Jackson. Janet Jackson. Public Enemy. New Edition. UTFO.  

Yes!  I remember.

Well what about FUBU clothes, family bar-be-cues, and "Battlin" "Breakin" & "Rappin" in the street?  Taping "For Lovers' Only" on a cassette tape?  Racing home to see "He-Man" or "Thundercats" cartoons?  Frying up french fries with the old grease sitting on the stove in the Crisco can?  Drinking sugar water cuz you didn't have any Kool-Aid? And having to be home before the street lights came up? 

Dang, Mama. Its summer time!  Oh, so I was the only one begging? REALLY?

This was a time when only doctors had pagers and only lawyers and business men needed phones.  When there was no such thing as a home computer.  Television only had five channels and went off at 2am.  When the only cable company was "Preview" after 8pm.  Oh no, no Netflix and Hula Plus?  And we were told, "Children should be seen; not heard"

Welllll.... It's June.  And June is Black Music Month.  And we here at REAL TALK LIVE 216 love our black music.  But you know, REAL TALK LIVE 216, had to go DEEPER.  Cuz it's not just about black music.  It's about the times we had; OUR YOUTH.    -

So tonight, REAL TALK LIVE 216 is celebrating Black Music Month by going: BLACK IN DA DAY!!!!!!!!!!
