For those of you too wise to be tweaked by my teaser of Parliament’s “Chocolate City” lyrics (with regard to Mayor Nagin’s comments), here’s a sample:

There’s a lot of chocolate cities, around
We’ve got Newark, we’ve got Gary
Somebody told me we got L.A.
And we’re working on Atlanta
But you’re the capital, CC

And when they come to march on ya
Tell ’em to make sure they got their James Brown pass
And don’t be surprised if Ali is in the White House
Reverend Ike, Secretary of the Treasure
Richard Pryor, Minister of Education
Stevie Wonder, Secretary of FINE arts
And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady
Are you out there, CC?
A chocolate city is no dream
It’s my piece of the rock and I dig you, CC
God bless Chocolate City and its (gainin’ on ya!) vanilla suburbs

Mayor Nagin, bless his heart, is now trying to explain himself.

… Sometimes You Don’t!”

Yesterday, taking two white boys to the airport, during a lively conversation about Clinton and Parliament, I drove past my exit. I believe it was during the Associate Director of OCMC’s comments about the P-Funk jam “Chocolate City” that we actually missed the turn. I realize that Orthodox white boys discussing the merits of true funk is, well, out of the ordinary. I also realize that there are definitely some P-Funk songs that are inappropriate for this blog audience. Therefore, I will not print said lyrics here. Nor, due to language used, will I direct you to this site.

Dawn’s book is done. IOW, she’s back.

As mentioned earlier, it was a busy weekend at St George, Houston — not to mention the NFL!

I really did not think that my wishes and predictions — victorious Steelers & Panthers — would prevail. O me of little faith! (Then again, victors in spite of the officiating.)

Oops, forgot to take our camera to the Annual IOCC Dinner.
