In the same segment were also Teddy Pendergrass, Chuck Jackson, Ben E. King and Brian McKnight. It was Al who brought down the house. Green started singing professionally at age 9, when he and his brothers formed a gospel quartet, the Greene Brothers, in their hometown of Forest City, Arkansas. (Gre...

A line from the body of terpfan's new article here Link "consumers seem determined to move less" started me thinking: (I hate that. lol) Ever since the fifties, we've been hearing how "labor saving devices" would make our lives easier. "You won't have to work so hard. Machines will do it for you." The dream of fully automated/computerized homes (which are starting to become a reality), cars that drive themselves, etc have had a lot of people thinking, "Won't that be great?" Now a lot of...

EDITION may have accidentally been shipped outside of the south. If you have one of these, you may need help understanding the commands.
