Pip, Pip hooray!!
Why is the NFL endorsing and pushing rap in a halftime show?
Are they trying to make some half-assed political statement?
Has rap gone mainstream and I just didn’t notice it?
Obscene rap singers are considered family entertainment?
Two of my all time favorite songs....
Midnight Train to Georgia
Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me
"Ooo-ooo, Fender Bender"
“Earlier this week, the NFL announced the halftime acts would be Maroon 5 and rappers Travis Scott and Big Boi”
Who? Never heard any of those names.
I'm certain the Pips have her back are perfectly in sync and have choreographed their every move to support her.

Rap - musical outlet for those who can’t sing or play a musical instrument.
I hope Ms Knight is in great voice and has a great show.
That said, I’m kind of surprised to hear this plan.
There has been discussion here lately that Gladys may have some level of Alzheimers.

Attempting
Poetry
I think they are taking a knee.
Best lyrics ever:
"I'd rather live with him in his world than live without him in mine."
Don’t forget “Neither one of us..” One of the sadis songs ever
“Ooh, ooh.”
Gladys Knight: I am here today and on Sunday, Feb. 3, to give the anthem back its voice, to stand for that historic choice of words, the way it unites us when we hear it and to free it from the same prejudices and struggles I have fought long and hard for all my life.
Thanks artichokegrower.
THIS is the caliber of woman that we stand in need of today.
Ms. Knight we love you and may God richly bless you.
For those who have not heard the song, look up “Midnight Train to Georgia. Crank it up. A classic song and well done. I remember it from the 1970’s.
****ed right.
