Everyday People

Emptying the dishwasher, scrambling the eggs, chopping the veggies, cooking the bacon - all normal I don't feel like eating anything heavy tonight activities for TBG and me.   I offered to do it all, mostly so I could send my music streaight to my hearing aids, and bop along as I cooked.  

(This bopping is different than the FFOTUS admired bopping of President Obama, a story picked up everywhere from the Times of India to The London Economic).

I let the algorithm shuffle my music.  

The Temptations

Encyclopedia of Alabama

started me off, followed by Dusty Springfield  and The Mamas and the Papas.  

Yes, I am stuck in my own past.... and I love it.  Big Cuter often says that good music stopped with your generation.  I tend to agree.

And then the past caught up to the present when Sly and The Family Stone

put it all together for me.

Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong...  what a novel concept.  So very different from the my-way-or-the-highway times we're living in right now.  

Scroll through the lyrics or listen to the music (link in the caption) and enjoy the only song that makes scooby-dooby-dooby palatalbe.

Rodney King would like this song.

Everyday People

Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong

My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in

I am everyday people, yeah, yeah

There is a blue one who can't accept
The green one for living with
A fat one tryin' to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby-dooby-dooby
We got to live together

I am no better and neither are you
We're all the same, whatever we do
You love me, you hate me
You know me and then
You can't figure out the bag I'm in

I am everyday people

There is a long hair
That doesn't like the short hair
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on, scooby-dooby-dooby
We got to live together

There is a yellow one that won't
Accept the black one
That won't accept the red one
That won't accept the white one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and
Scooby-dooby-dooby

I am everyday people
