I've always liked the way the dude from Black Panther handled it. It's his shit and who gives a fuck about others feelings or opinions. He has my highest respect and handled it like a G. Go out on your own terms.

Naked Eye takes me back to 10th grade watching MTV during my two months away from school because of an injury.  Video would be in constant replay every other hour.  Song still slaps.

Harry Belafonte, activist and entertainer with a ‘rebel heart,’ dies at 96
 

https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/25/entertainment/harry-belafonte-death/index.html
 

Harry Belafonte, the dashing singer, actor and activist who became an indispensable supporter of the civil rights movement, has died, his publicist Ken Sunshine told CNN.

He was 96.

Belafonte died Tuesday morning of congestive heart failure, Sunshine said.

Belafonte was dubbed the “King of Calypso” after the groundbreaking success of his 1956 hit, “The Banana Boat Song (Day-O).” He also became a movie star after acting in the film adaption of the Broadway musical, “Carmen Jones.” 

But Belafonte biggest contributions took place offstage. He was a key strategist, fundraiser and mediator for the civil rights movement. He continually risked his entertainment career – and at least once his life – for his activism. He became a close friend of the Rev. Martin 

Luther King Jr., who often retired to Belafonte’s palatial New York apartment to talk strategy or escape the pressures of leading the civil rights movement. 

A voracious reader with a burning disdain for injustice, Belafonte’s political consciousness was shaped by the experience of growing up as the impoverished son of a poor Jamaican mother who worked as a domestic servant...

Random thing I just discovered that provides a link of sorts between Wally George and the Angels: Wally George was Rebecca de Mornay's father--and de Mornay had two children with Patrick O'Neal.

Very important info, I know...

You won’t read that book again because the endings just too hard to take.

 I had no idea that Patrick O'Neal was the son of Ryan O'Neal or that Patrick was that old.
