Some good points raised. Now, how about registering with the forum. Join the family.

Black. Woman. Murdered. By. Police.
Doing my absolute best, absolute, I promise not to sound patronising ( and sincere apologies if I do) but I'm with you folks,well as much as I can be from across the pond. I'd be out myself protesting myself if I lived in St.Paul, NYC, LA, San Diego wherever. Theres been outrage over here regarding George Floyd albeit online and mainly from mid to far Left groups (which is fine in my book).

Police are a leading cause of death for Black men in the US
@Chevdove sorry too to hear about your ordeal. It must've been truly awful.

Fire. Next. Time.
Oh yes, 100%,harry. @Troy. I think a while back you sent out emails to members and in one of them you mentioned that in August a new book on Baldwin was being published. Any more news on this and the title?

Black. Woman. Murdered. By. Police.
I'm all for protesting,100% but I've never looted a shop nor set a building on fire. I understand FULLY that people are very angry. But,well maybe it's just st me. Never really been in a position to really really let rip.

If there IS any justice in the world, he'll do time. A long long time.

I've seen a fair bit of footage about this. The poor poor man. Very sad. Surely that officer is going to face trial.Surely.

'fraid not. Only the book,Ade. Nothing else. Wonder if it's got something to do with the device that I'm using. No idea.

What are you listening to now?
The only two songs ' linked ' on Pepper is the title track and With a Little Help from my Friends. The only things disappearing in a divorce should be the wife, ha ha.

Gwendolyn Brooks
Tried to find some info on this poet but scoured the site and found nothing. Had to resort to Wikipedia. Her name has popped up a few times in a recent book I read.

@Troy Actually,now I think about it,I'd say Psychedelic Shack AND The Sky's the Limit are slightly better albums. Concept albums spring to mind. Not all the songs on certain albums are linked by the same story though. You could say What's Going On is a concept. Sgt Pepper was mistakenly thought of as a concept. Not all the songs are linked and there are different 'stories ' . From around 1967 the album began to grow up so to speak.

Ahhh, that's helpful. Thanks Troy.

From what I can gather, there's only three covers. Hey Jude ,Little Green Apples and one other. But for the perfect 'summary' of this period of the Temps, the compilation Psychedelic Soul is brilliant. A double album and full of fantastic music. Haha, the audience don't seem to be doing their thing. I mean ,this is the Impressions. LIVE.

Possibly the Temps finest album.

Racism elsewhere on the AALBC...
It's almost an obsession with me. Popping onto the channel and looking for these trolls now. Definetly not healthy.

Racism elsewhere on the AALBC...
Going back to the comments made by a certain individual on Roland Martins You Tube channel. Only yesterday, I received yet another nasty comment from a WS troll. He's actually now getting personal and criticising my dad, who I explained to him in a fairly civilised way, that he died of cancer when I was young and I'm not happy at all with his comments. Did this deter him? No,of course not. The little 💩 Is demented and is probably a attention seeker but this didn't stop me getting very angry. Very. And I'm tired of Roland's people occasionally deleting my replies and not even blocking this sick excuse for a human being.
