I thought I'd share how #BOTD #FatsDomino's song, "I'm Walking" was a big part of my childhood. As a kid of the 70s, I watched Happy Days so I heard a lot of 50s music that way (I had the 1930s,40s, 60s, covered because of living in a multi-generational household.)
So, when I heard Fats sing and play piano, and since I was studying piano as well, I felt a kinship with him.
Also, it's a reminder I need to take a walk today & everyday!

I appreciate that Dr. Jeffries, a History professor at Ohio State, tells the truth in this Hip Hop documentary featuring Chuck D, that Reagan vilified and blamed blacks for the economic problems in the 1980s.
I like that Dr. Jeffries said:
"It's a really twisted way of explaining a problem borne not if what black people are doing, but what Capitalism is doing.
