W is thinking: you learn something new every other day or blue moon or something ... I have to keep slapping myself and rubbing my eyes to make sure I'm seeing what I'm hearing ... this is Black Music Month ... and, I'm seeing white people playing this music or whatever you want to call it ... I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't heard it with my own eyes ...

1. W. is "thinking": "Geez, music like this doesn't even belong on Saturday

mornings with centuries-old cartoons. I've heard better toilets flushing than this. This is like eating raw cabbage and getting slapped with fat fish in the face. This sounds like putting a bird in a grinder. This is worse than anything ever since the history of the universe was begun or something. . . . Oh oh, they're wrapping it up. Best get ready to applaud."

10. W is thinking: I miss going in the Rangers' dressing room before and after

practices and games ... handing out towels and stuff ... and, now, look at me ...
