I have been battling a bit of insomnia for the last week or so. I’ve been waking up most nights at around 3am. Well, on Friday night/Saturday morning I woke up at around 1am. (It could be that I self medicated with Arbor Mist (don’t ask) instead of my usual Nyquil. SHUT IT Heather Locklear!) Anyways, low and behold guess what was on TV. Soul Train! It was an episode from the 70’s with Special Guests Al Green and the Stylistics. WOW! I was lying in my bed reminiscing about the “good ol’ days”! It totally made me think about my mom. I remember when we were little and she would get dressed up to go out with her girlfriends. They used to go to the Riverview or The Nacirema (American backwards, who thought of that?) or Cassus. But it brought to mind, images of cool people out dancing and looking chic. I couldn't’t wait to grow up so I could get dressed up and go out with my girlfriends too.
Anyways, here’s a clip of the Soul Train Line. I got a kick out of some of their outfits and hairstyles.
And in case that wasn’t enough!
