On Stevie Wonder
« on: October 17, 2009, 09:56:50 PM »
My wife is watching old Cosby re-runs on Youtube, and I just realized that I Just Called To Say I Love You is not a bad song when performed by Phylicia Rashād, rather than by a man with a whiny girl-voice. 

But to give the man his props, Superstitious is still a great song. 
Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?

My former girlfriend lived in the city (Chicago) and was always trying to get me to love hanging out down there (been there done that and over it)

One of those attempts last year had me fighting the masses to see Stevie at the Taste of Chicago.

Glad I went, the guy put on a great show and the band was tight.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I always refer to that song as "I just called to say I'm boring."

I liked Stevie Wonder when he was Little Stevie Wonder. After that there were only a few songs of his I liked.

I saw him in 1972. He opened for The Rolling Stones in Indianapolis.
