Who knows what Lionel Richie was saying during the Swahili part of “All Night Long?” By the way, I’m just assuming it was Swahili. I don’t want to be like “Why was Lionel singing in African?” like that’s an actual language. When I did the song at a karaoke night years ago, I just made [...]

New Edition On U Street

I Am Not Special After All

My good friend Rob and I had a funny conversation back when we first met. You see, we both worked as bouncers back in the day. Me, and the now-defunt Republic Gardens, and Rob at an upscale area strip club in DC. When he told me the name of the place, I immediately remembered the [...]
