I am so sick of all of these judgmental hypocrites on all of these other blog sites kicking this man's back in instead of remembering him for his legacy. How he chose to live his PERSONAL life was his PERSONAL business! That said, he was responsible for bringing something truly memorable to the world and it especially runs deeply with those of us who grew up in the 70's & 80's. Think about this..... what the world would have been like then (or be like NOW for that matter) without Soul Train? RIP Don. Thanks for the ride.
And we WILL be doing the Soul Train Line @ the club this weekend!
