Dear Editor. I know that your Mom was 1/2 of the wartime duet of Jean & Joan. I know you and Jerry were a semi-famous musicians in the 80's with Brad Savage & The Cockroaches. I also know that Larry and Rick dabbled in drums. I know that Danny was the intense bass player of TILCH before his untimely death. I know Mike powned the 60's in Rock & Roll with The Lost Cause, then re-invented himself in the new millennium with Bluegrass music. Tell me please... were there any other McCarty's in the music industry. -Rambo
ED NOTE: Yes... Our youngest brother Steve-O, being 8 years younger than myself, tried his hand in the Rap Music game. Steve was quite the follower of Young MC, and MC Hammer and he just knew he was ahead of the game because his last name already began with MC.

Dear Editor. When I was born, I was black. When I grew up, I was black. When I went in the sun, I stayed black. When I got cold, I was black. When I was scared, I was black. When I was sick, I was black. When I bruise, I'm still black. And when I die, I'll still be black. NOW, You 'white' folks.... When you're born, you're pink, When you grow-up, you're white, When you go in the sun, you get red. When you're cold, you turn blue. When you're scared, you're yellow. When you get sick, you're green. When you bruise, you turn purple. And when you die, you look gray. So who y'all callin' COLORED folks?
ED NOTE: In the words of our commander-in-chief, who by the way is also a Caucasian... Too Chee (touché)
