So all you jerry-curl suckers wearin’ high-heel boots
Like ballerinas, what I mean is you’re a fruit-loop troop
All you gonna-be(s), want to-be(s), when will you learn
Want to be like Cool J., you gotta wait your turn
You mean those Colt 45 ads were fake? I’m crushed.

The New York Post makes far too many errors and many articles lack important details.
Did people think in was gay in the 1370’s, 1470’s, 1570’s, 1670’s, 1770’s, 1870’s, or 1970’s?
....Billy Dee is a student of Jungian philosophy....which uses male and female archetypes in exploring the inner self......
He’s been married three times.

To be serious, Marla Gibbs(Florence) is in her 90's.
70 decade career? Editors wanted!
Billy Dee Williams? Colt 45 Malt Liquor Billy Dee Williams? Gay? No way.
