This afternoon, quite out of the blue, Dick started to rap....
Protection
For Gangs, Clubs
And Nations
Causing Grief In
Human Relations
It's A Turf War
On A Global Scale
I'd Rather Hear Both Sides
Of The Tale
See, It's Not About Races
Just Places
Faces
Where Your Blood
Comes From
Is Where Your Space Is
I've Seen The Bright
Get Duller
I'm Not Going To Spend
My Life Being A Color
Halfway through, I was staring at him, stunned.
I had no idea where this had come from.
...and yet, he just kept going!
The song is "Black and White", by Michael Jackson.
So, it turns out that one of the bands that Dick used to be in used to play that song.
Dick said he often sang the backup lyrics (he played keyboard).
However, for this song, the backup lyrics turned out to be the rap!
Who knew?!
I love it when I learn something new about my hubby!
