High on the Blog


What up.
Blog #1 out da gates.
Barn Owl rising.
"Here I am!" Klaus Meine style. Even, "Here I go again on my own!" I might say. Just like HeWhoMustNotBeNamed ~ ok, David Coverdale. There I named him. I ain't afraida no ghost. So all I've learned so far today is Stepin Fetchit's real name was Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry, and he had a pink Rolls-Royce with his name lit up in neon lights on the side: STEPIN FETCHIT. He had many cars and many servants. Also, Nina Mae McKinney was GORGEOUS. I got these bits from the amazing book Bright Boulevards, Bold Dreams by most excellent researcher/writer Donald Bogle. Read on. Right on.
