I turn around quickly and ask like every little Black child asking 23 questions, Mama Mama--- it's the early 1980's and i'm watching 'King Creole' my fave Elvis movie,--Presley is cool---ain't he Mama? Jackie's face darkens, her bottom lip frowns down, and she tells me she hated Elvis. She says she never liked Elvis Aaron Presley because he said somethin' about all Negro people can do for him, is shine his blue suede shoes. He said that?, I'm all shook up for a nanosecond. I thought he was cool. I slowly turn back around to enjoy the rest of the movie on the Zombie T.V. cathode ray tube; Questioning everything, still bobbin' my big head to the SOULFUL jazzy sounds, skeptical of the dude that styled his hair with ROSE OIL and vaseline. The Barnett Crossroads, is the signpost reminder that visitors SEE right before they cross The 'Long Poetic Bridge', also known as The General Walter KING Wilson JR. Bridge.'
