      Why?
      We Senior's and Disabled Veteran's At Council Tower Senior Apartments. Just received a visit from our Black Alderwoman Marlene Davis(Can't Make It Up).
      Who so closely resembles Alderman Fred C. Davis...In Her speechifying.. I her benign neglect..I had to listen to this SpiritualJewels. Rather than crying.

    Growing up in Chicago as a kid during this era was magic. The City was rife with institutionalized racism, and kickback schemes, Vietnam had recently ended, and crime was insane, but yet those were memorable times. That theme song was full of hope, it was like if you can just keep moving then things can get better. I miss those days !!!

      Dave Grusin, Alan and Marilyn Bergman _Good Times_ (1974)
      Just lookin' outta the window
      Watching the asphalt grow
      Thinkin' ('bout) how it all looks hand-me-down
      Roaches roaming' the hallways
      Landlord is nobody's fool
      He lives on the other side 'o' town
      Good times: Any time you meet a payment
      Good times: Any time you meet a friend
      Good times: Any time you're out from under
      Not getting' hassled: Not getting hustled
      Keeping' your head above water
      Making' a wave when you can
      Temporary layoffs: Good times
      Easy credit ripoffs: Good times
      Scratchin' and survivin': Good times
      Hangin' in and jivin': Good times
      Ain't we lucky we got 'em: Good times.

    One of my all-time faves!! When I was a little girl, I was madly in love with JJ and thought Willona was the most beautiful woman in the world, PERIOD. I stopped watching the sitcom after John Amos left, though. I was heartbroken that he'd left, and the show wasn't the same afterwards. I'd loved John since he played Gordie on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. I was glad that as an actor he went onto bigger and better things as he wanted, but on Good Times he was sorely missed.
