      Such a good stream last night. I liked Disclosure before, but I've got so much more respect for them now. Guy is insanely good at producing and comes across really well, level headed, intelligent and explains things really well.

      but .. she's crossed over too. she don't have that agenda anymore. she was MEAN and treacherous, even in more recent, very recent years. Jealous and filled with hate and venom, behind the scene's. Ya'll just don't know. she had her own agenda. not now. not anymore. that's over. but may she rest in peace.

    There are no words to hardly describe this musical genius! The Most High put on earth for us to enjoy for a while. Prince is right… It is better on “The Other Side.” Prince reached The Dawn. He found his purpose while here. His talent can’t be matched in this era. This is one of my wife’s favorite songs…I tease her calling Prince 🎸 her second husband! 😂😂😂😂
