about how other folks point at us
and say, especially in warm wea-
Their: "By their smell We shall
know them," which was a gentle
reminder to all and sundry that
when warm weather comes its
time to take bath more than lust
every Satdee Night. Thinking
about what | said then somebody
read what | said, call to remind
me that while | am indulging my
Fish and Beer, it might also oc-
cur to me that those who would
Identify US for the purpose of
keeping away from US as much as
possible, and to keep US away
from them as much as possible;
and therefore make it all the more
harder for us to get out of the
shell in which tradition and SEN
timent, made ancient only by re-
petition, confine us and limits our
action and opportunity, have more
ways than just lone" of telling
where we're at. | though about
what they said while undergoing
my favorite Satdee Mite past-time
as | listen to the newest juke box
tune: | LACK MY BABY'S PUD-
DING :. That sounded louder and
more nauseating with each spin of
the disc . If the folks done
have but zone" other way, outside
of the smell" way, of finding
where we're at the jake Box
is sure'n shottin that zone"
way. As a rival boy friend once
told my wife before | finally won
out 81 knews and everybody
knews" that when ever you
hear one of them JukeBoxes BLAIR
ing out with one of them tunes
like 81 LACK MY BABY'S PUD-
DING" it amt nobody there
to listen but Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns and them kind of
tunes is messing us up in more
ways than | can tell, which if |
thought l could I'd know be-
fore | got started that the
preachers and teachers E.
can do a more-better job But
the best job of keeping away
from us that kind of thing, and
keeping us away from it is
a job we can do ourselves. Them
records are never heard on juke
boxes except where Aunt Hag-
CARS Chilluns congregate, and |
where Aunt Haggar's Chilluns call
the tunes . . 1t looks like we
ought to wake up sometime and
quit buying and paying for the
things that's running US crazy j.. .
keeping us down and that is
one of the biggest weights :.
around our necks.
