The Clubdate Singer Speaks, Chapter 15:

Performance anxiety: Chapter 15 Sept 2005, Philadelphia,   Pa   L enny (not his real name) and I prepared for the event in similar ways that day. I am sure of it. I know because of how he said the Word “Oh” .   The band was doing a wedding in Philadelphia at a very expensive, gaudy, and dimly lit room. I was leading that night, and Lenny was the Maitre’D.   We were both subbing; me for Johnson (because the band was split in 2, that day. Johnson had Rev. & the Queen, and I had Summer and another brotha with me) Lenny for the house’s main guy, who’s Mom had died that morning.   Invariably, black people prepare longer for their interactions with white people than vice versa. ( I bet right now, that if you’re black, you’re nodding your head in assent, and if you’re white the thought never crossed your mind.)   And today’s preparation was two-fold. Blacks in positions of leadership have to call on (and balance) the oft-opposing mindsets of :   ‘Accessibilit

The Clubdate singer speaks. Pt 3:

  "The Platter" November 2001, the Vanderbilt Hotel. There was a couple at the function. Your average Woody Allen looking rich guy, mid 50's I would guess, and his 30-something girlfriend.  She was wearing an extremely tight and ugly dress. They stood out for a couple of reasons: 1) The dress was a silver and black striped monstrosity, clearly not for an elegant affair. Kind of trashy, actually(and as it turned out, this was appropriate ) 2) Their behavior was wantonly sexual on the dance floor. They took 'Dry humping' to a new level. At one point coming dangerously close to knocking over the wedding cake with their arrhythmic gyrations. It got progressively worse as the night wore on, and by our 3rd set: Summer turned her back to the dance floor when they came out. Finally,the inevitable. The Music, the Liquor, the lust proved too much for our couple, and the woman began to pull her dress up as she danced, lower and lower she crouched, higher and hi

Revelation 15:1-4 (CSB) Preparation for the Bowl Judgments 15  Then I saw another great and awe-inspiring sign [ a ]  in heaven:  seven angels with the seven last plagues; for with them God’s wrath will be completed.   2  I also saw something like a sea of glass  mixed with fire, and those who had won the victory over the beast, its image, [ b ]  and the number of its name, were standing on the sea of glass with harps from God.   3  They sang the song of God’s servant Moses  and the song of the Lamb: Great and awe-inspiring are your works, Lord God, the Almighty; just and true  are your ways, King of the nations. [ c ] 4  Lord, who will not fear and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All the nations will come and worship before you because your righteous acts have been revealed.

Revelation 14:1-5 (CSB) The Lamb and the 144,000 14  Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.   2  I heard a sound [ a ]  from heaven like the sound of cascading waters  and like the rumbling of loud thunder. The sound I heard was like harpists playing on their harps.   3  They sang [ b ]  a new song  before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders,  but no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.  4  These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, since they remained virgins.  These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were redeemed [ c ] from humanity as the firstfruits  for God and the Lamb.  5  No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless. Footnotes:
