Love this - my relationship to music has been similar - and even though I'm a bit older, I too am physically not capable of staying off any dance floor if I hear the first few notes of "Still Not A Player"

Such a lovely read, all the way around. I don’t even love Janet! Just such an entertaining read. Also lol the voice of the Red Sea: “y’all go on ahead…” 👌

This was a little slice of heaven of a reading experience. Thanks for a trip down memory lane, Wheels.

I’d love to read hundreds of more words on the racial and class dynamics of our generation of White teens connecting so deeply to this music, and how it has shaped us, or not, as adults. Kthxbye.
