and this is why I say it's the age we're in

because when I grew up, even when MJ and Prince at the top of the music charts during their apex along with other great artists during the 80s, or even before Thriller and Purple Rain propelled them to the top, kids my age were taught about the great entertainers performers of the previous generation....even the previous two generations, the James Browns, the Jackie Wilsons, the Frank Sinatras, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, heck, even rock n roll groups like Bill Haley and the Comets who to this very day may have recorded one of the top 5 greatest/most memorable rock-n-roll songs of all time,we were taught about the great jazz artists that our grandparents grew up listening too, as well as those legendary blues artists....we knew about the great country music artists too...Charlie Pride, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Crystal Gale, John Denver just to name a few

we were given that insight about the past greats, the music programs were more geared towards recognizing the past greats while supporting the new generation of acts, then you had your Kasey Kasem's of the world when his weekly show America's top 40 gave credence to the current acts ruling the charts and always gave that history lesson about the past greats........there was more well rounded perspective because we were exposed to more variety..we were given the full musical spectrum...

so even when we were teenagers rocking to Billie Jean and When Doves Cry, we still appreciated perfomers who were 30-40 years our senior.....

and the reason why that young lady said what she said is because she hasn't been given the full gamut

Its about the age we're in

Its our age.

Talking to a young woman recently. I asked here who do you think in her generation can become as big as Michael Jackson was. She replied "Chance the Rapper".

Talking to another young woman, I asked her what she thought of Prince. She casually replied: "I don't know his music."

Pamela Anderson is part of the problem. She promotes herself as a sexual object (or used to), and exploits herself and promotes sexual promiscuity. A lot of these women who do this were sexually-abused as a child.

And yet even she knew who and who not to be around in Hollywood apparently.

Sure she's "part of the problem", but common sense on this issue doesn't seem to be one of them.

Case against Seal has been dismissed.

I do believe that at times Oprah may have been part of the problem but I don't think it was a conscious or deliberate action on her part. Does anyone think that she knew what Weinstein or Trump were about when she was photographed cupcaking with them?

Seal meant exactly what we thought he meant and for him to come out and try to backpedal now only makes him look like a coward. It would have been better for him to stay under what ever rock he's been hiding under.

Stacy Dash got her Omarosa wake up call and is trying to come back home but nobody wants either one of them.

The interesting about all of these is how Mr. Weinstein usde his money, powe,r staff, and to shut everyone down. Everyone said Ms. Streep should have known. I'm going to be blunt, I don't think Streep or Mr. Winfrey was Weinstein type... hence they weren't in the loop. As far as the actress who've accused Mr. Weinstein of sexual harassment and rape, most kept silent. Mr. Clooney who worked with Weinstein often said he didn't know, though Weinstein boosted of sexual relationship with the women who accuse him (Weinstein) of sexual abuse. He's been married twice, did his wives know, did his grown children know? But Ms. Winfrey's a focal point, please.

The real story, Weinstein brothers are attempting to sale their production company. The law-suites will prevent this. More importantly if there's any evidence his board of directors, his legal team, or top executive assisted and/or knew and helped Weinstein to cover up his shenanigans... these people are just as liable. This is going to get complicated on so many levels. The brothers are attempting to sale but I doubt if anyone touches his studio with a ten foot pole.
