I just can't believe all the things people say - CONTROVERSY!
I came home late this Saturday, crashed on the couch with my Starbucks vanilla coffee and flipped throgh the channels on tv. I landed on VH1, and the familiar sillouette of our "Rude Boy" standing in front of a stained glass window appeared on the screen. What a surprise to see that the Controversy video was being played!! There he was prancing around with his black thigh highs and funky delicious guitar riff and singing into the camera. Dez was rocking the stage toooo~! It was a treat to see the video after so many years...  am going to send a thank u note to Vh1 and encourage them to play more!
VH1 is now officially cool! Everyone should play this song today and wear a smile!

the video or the album? I'm getting the video in the mail any day now since it's part of the Video hits package I just ordered on Amazon. I don't have the album either, but it is second on my list after Dirty Mind. Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid. | |

How'd you get that job btw? The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Controversy could be Michael Jackons theme song...
"Am I black or white?" "Am I straight or gay?" "I just can't believe all the things people say" Just an observation... | |

 Controversy is the start of him responding to the media talk. "Am I Black Or White"? /"Am I Straight Or Gay"? Cool album! I still play that & jam to it. A month ago on VH1 Classics i caught When Doves Cry & GettOff on back2back Tuesdays.  | |
