Some People Would Rather Stay Ignorant And

I Started 'society's Child' On A Bus In East Orange As I Was Going Home From School. I Saw A Black And White Couple Sitting There And Started Thinking About It.

I'm A Huge Peter Mayer Fan, But Only When I Don't Feel Like Killing Him For Being So Good. I Love Peter's Work, Though It Irritates Me That He Plays So Much Better Than I Do. If I Rocked Half As Hard As Peter Does, I'd Own The World By Now.

I Was One Of I Think Three White Girls In My School. So, I Was Very Much An Outsider. And Plus I Was Jewish And All Of My Friends Were Black And Baptist Because They Listen To The Coolest Music. We Were All Listening To Ray Charles And What Was Then Called Race Music.

I Learned The Truth At Seventeen, That Love Was Meant For Beauty Queens, And High School Girls With Clear Skinned Smiles, Who Married Young And Then Retired.

Some People Would Rather Stay Ignorant And Self-satisfied.
