    My very first memory EVER was listening to “I just Called to Say, I Love You” by Stevie Wonder. I was 4 years old, but that is my first memory – life went down hill after that, but that is a whole other thing 😅

    Edit: What’s with the random capitalization on that application form? Is THAT how you folks wrote back in the day? Is that why trump writes like that these days?

    That documentary was so good. We Are the World was way before my time but I found it in my youth and listened to it on repeat for years. Great message and story

    Omg, he is so right about music. Better to have just mood music, not songs you like, know and want to sing. Focus on your partner, not lyrics from a song
