This blog is named after a book by Jacqueline Jones Royster. While my goals for this blog are not quite as lofty as Ms. Royster's (promoting literacy and social change) I do intend to address ideas, philosophies, and policies that need to change. Since I consider myself a sociologist I will focus on anything social, which basically covers everything under the sun and then some. Topics will include my take on politics, music, sports, family issues, literature, to name a few.
I am a middle-aged woman who recently relocated to the Dallas area after spending the last sixteen years in Long Beach California. I am originally from Flint, Michigan. Although I have lived in the West and I am currently in the south, my belief system is strongly rooted in my midwestern upbringing.
I enjoy bowling and rollerskating whenever I get the chance. I also spend much of my time reading and listening to music.
My biggest crush when I was an adolescent was probably Jermaine Jackson. I look at him now and exclaim, What The Hell Happened??? But that is another "Old School Friday" segment.Oh yeah, I couldn't resist throwing Mike in the mix!
This meme was developed by Marvalus View and Ms. Grapevine. The rules are simple:
1. Anyone can participate; any music genre
2. Old School is defined as music created before 1999
3. No offensive words allowed, please use edited radio version
4. Post a video of your favorite Old School song to take us back down memory lane (two song maximum)
5. Add your name to the meme list so that others can check you out
6. Have fun & don't forget to leave comments for other participants
I truly love this song it was not as big a hit but I loved it! Stop by my OSF spot when you get a chance1 http://reginasoldschoolfridayspot.blogspot.com/

My big crush back in school was on Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits. He was #2 to Paul McCartney's #1.
Like most teenyboppers I had a thing for baby faced pop stars, lol.
Thanks for stopping by my post 13 reasons why I started to paint the old fashioned way again!
I think we've all gone through our crushes on at least one of the Jackson boys...I mean, how could you not love them?
Happy OSF!!
Poor Tito. Nobody, it seems, had a crush on him. Maybe it was the hat?
Hey X. Dell, I liked Tito. I've always had a soft spot for a guy who can wear a hat! No kidding, lol.
I was so in love with Michael Jackson...I wanted t mary him! And I feel so strange also when I see Jermaine speaking...what did happen to him?
I miss your blogs for OSF and Thursday Thirteen!!!
