Don’t know about those. Angry and bitter were always the things that came out. Now given his generation and how the record companies treated artists in general and black artists in particular some of that was legit, but he just never seemed to get over it.

around it. The worst thing involved Berry, sex, and
defecation and it was some sick stuff although I didn’t
