I am what some might call "the greatest musical genius of this - or any - time". My virtuosity and multi-instrumentality (I play both the synthesizer AND the drum machine!) are the stuff of legend to millions worldwide. This makes me pretty much the greatest musical authority in all of the universe and as such I have decided to provide for you, ( Read more... )

Well said. I don't think I'm alone in thinking that song is perhaps the single greatest accomplishment of mankind.

Ahh.... very thorough, Sir JoJoFries. But the question remains, do you know where George Jefferson originally began his marvelously ingenius career before the ever-popular hit-series The Jeffersons??

I think NOT. Come have beer for a Spring Equinox party at my place weekend of March 22nd. I can probably get you a ride. The theme is "Cheer the fuck up, it's Spring, motherfuckers, so clank your beers and be merry!!"- 2003.

Call someone to get my number. Peace. <3

If I'm not mistaken, after a stint in the Armed Services he attended the Philadelphia Academy of Dramatic Arts where he honed his craft. From there he joined the Society Hill Playhouse, acting in stage plays at night and working as a postal clerk by day. It was with this acting company that Helmsley appeared in a play called "The Blacks". His performance prompted a noted Philadelphia director to encourage Sherman to pursue theater work in New York. There he joined the Negro Ensemble Company and studied his craft privately under Lloyd Richards. His work with Richards would eventually lead to his earning a spot in Vignette Carrol's Urban Arts Group. After appearing off-Broadway in "The People vs. The Ranchman" and on-Broadway in "Purlie Victorious" he joined the touring company of "Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope". This took him to San Francisco where he was noticed by producer Norman Lear and asked to fill the role of TV's George Jefferson.

Beer is good, hit me up about the jam.
