Night Train was Dinah Washington’s Last Husband💜. Now If that’s not the essence of The Blues💙, I don’t know what is.

Didn't follow Dinah too closely, but one of her husbands was Dick "Night Train" Lane, HoF cornerback for the last Detroit Lions team to win the NFL title (57?). Night Train comes off as a cool dude in George Plimpton's "Paper Lion."

Incredible show-I ♥️ it’s tone - the writing . There’s a hint of the original M.I.B. with a Fargo twist. Exceptional cast. The DCverse from Lanterns’ perspective is intriguing. I’d ♥️ to see the Justice League’s other characters from this show’s point of view.

@vurnt22 Hey VR, are you watching Lanterns? It’s basically about John Stewart and his pre-Green Lantern backstory with other plot points and Hal Jordan too. I love it!

👑 Dinah Washington had at least 7 husbands, officially, with an additional alleged 2, Quiet As Kept. She divorced 6. When she sang “You Don’t Know What Love Is “, she not only felt it - she knew it; The Meaning Of The Blues. You dig.

Happy birthday to Dinah Washington, born on this day in 1924! A powerful and unforgettable voice in jazz and blues, she brought incredible emotion and personality to every song she sang.

There is no “why” when it comes to songs. I could analyze, but that’s not it. It’s like explaining why a joke is funny. The folks that CAN explain why jokes are funny? Never actually laugh themselves. I liked those tunes instantly upon first hearing. That hasn’t always happen.

The new Prince album Timeless has some JOINTS on it!! I Am You Heaven I Wonder(!) The Guilty Ones(!) Bestest Friend (!) Just a cursory first listen- the whole album is great. The above jumped out at me.
