I was only reminiscing about seeing John Hurt in real life once a few years ago.

I was only reminiscing about seeing John Hurt in real life once a few years ago.

Saw him in the Gate Theatre one time years ago and my whole family went. Felt bad for the people in the row behind that had to deal with 4 galoots.

Did you help him untangle himself?

This took me too long to figure out.

I saw him in The Gate.

I saw him at the stage door one afternoon when I was walking home from work.

it's not 'just desserts', it's 'just deserts'.
pronounced in the same way.

SPOILER:
Willie D was a Texas Golden Gloves champ. An injury in his late teens ended a potential pro career
Afrika Bambaamtaa makes an appearance (after the bout).

more on Willie D later....

Did you think someone who had transgressed was presented with, "For doing that, you asshole, you know what? You deserve this!" and they get handed a tiramisu?

 

[magicbastarder]

no, they get 'just desserts'. no starter, no main.

I saw him in The Gate.

Saw him once in the morning at a cafe terrace on Clarendon St
I'd just seen him the night before in something in town, can't remember what

But he was there, sipping his cappuccino, watching all the masses scurry off to work and he looked like the cat that got the cream
It must be something to build a life like that for yourself, where you take yourself out of regular society and all its pressures and can live at your own speed

being very stupid, I only realised this year that tracks off two of my favourite rap albums were part of a beef between Willie D (Geto Boys) and Queen Latifah.

Queen Latifah w/ Monie Love - Ladies First (1989) off All Hail The Queen LP

Monie has been a radio DJ for years in the USA. she sounds really NYC on air but a lot more London when speaking to the UK media. She's hardly changed over the years.

there's a brief sample of the above track at the start of the the Geto Boys response:

The Geto Boys - I'm Not a Gentleman (We Can't Be Stopped LP 1991)

Apart from lots of sexist terms Willie D uses, the song's OTT comedy character is very upfront about what he's like and doesn't promote doing women any harm. Put a profile like this on dating app and don't expect a response. The guy is too open and lacking in any charm to be a predator.
You know where you stand with this guy from the get go.

Latifah had the last word.

unfortunately after a great 1989 debut LP Latifah got pulled in a more RnB direction by the music business (not the only woman this happened to). In the end she was so multitalented she forgot want she was best at.

the beef quickly ended and Willie D took the opportunity last year to say Latifah is the only Queen he respects.

Geto Boys’ Willie D Brands The Queen An ‘Old Hag’ & Expresses Joy Over Her Death

Willie D of the Geto Boys isn’t among those mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who he called 'wicked,' 'racist' and 'murderous' in a scathing video.
