Ben Carson and I agree on something. I also love the Motown sound.

Don't Let Him Shop Around--Debbie Dean (Motown #1007), 1961

As a kid I listened to Motown more than Country. My favorite is still the Supremes.

I too grew up on Motown...husband grew up in the sticks and listened to hard rock/acid rock. He still listens to THAT via XM in the car...needless to say we travel together in silence.

I’m more of a heavy metal guy but as I’ve gotten older the motown and other older music evoke pleasant nostalgic feelings.

“Dr. Carson is one heck of a great role model”

Ben has started his unethical robo-calling already. I HATE robo calling! It is a great way to lose support. I will NEVER vote for someone that is so unethical as to use computerized means to ram their political crap down everyone’s throats day and night, day after day.
