In 1965 Murray the K presented “It's What’s Happening Baby!” as a special tv program for us teens — something we were told was produced by the U.S. Government to promote LBJs Job Corps program. It was a fantastic show too — live performances by Dionne Warwick, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, Chuck Jackson. Lipsynched songs by The Ronettes, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, the horrible Herman's Hermits, and others. But the live performance of “I’m Alright” by Little Anthony and The Imperials was sensational. I never forgot it. And as great as their 70s performance of the song is, their performance that night in ‘65 had me and everyone I knew talking for days. It was never repeated. But it’s been recently released on DVD, all cleaned up and with excellent sound. Check it out.

Stanley: Yo, have we heard back from Will? Emma: No! And we've emailed him twice, to the same addy he gets the newsletter delivered to, thanking him for becoming a founding member of JointzOfTheDay and wanting to know what his T-shirt size is. Jonah: Relax, guys, maybe our emails landed in his spam box. We'll connect with him eventually. Emma: Yeah, we just wanna let him know how much his support is appreciated. Stanley: Thanx man, for helping us keep the funky knowledge flowing and free minds, shake behinds, and save the world!

What the — ? Yeah, I tend to NOT read my emails, which annoys the shit out of my friends.

I’m actually a Large size, but X-tra large if one's available. Also, I was just about to leave a comment on your Martha Reeves page today, so I’ll do that thing now. A free tee shirt? You guys are the best!
