yessiree I'm back! My friend Robert Johnson invited me down here to visit and take a look around.
And even though Heaven is Fabulous, I sprouted my wings and flew on down.
Here I am. Your one and only Mother of the Blues.
Man have I got a lot to say to you.
Life was so much simpler back in my times. What a mess it is down here now! For instance I retired when talking pictures came out, and now you've got so many gadgets I can't even see straight.
You know the telephone first appeared in 1910 ~ when I was 24 years old. I go and come back and now you have an iPhone? What the hell is an iPhone? Talk about culture shock. But the thing that REALLY blows my mind (other then this computer I'm typin' on...........) is that we almost had our first female nominee for president!! I mean, I saw women get the right to vote back in my day, so this was an amazing race to see. Barack is great though too, don't get me wrong.......just as cute as a June bug and smart as a fox that one.
I love my girls though. I caused a stir in the 1920's dressing up as a boy and chasing girls. Now it's all scrawny, weak, needing-to-be-saved women on the TV and in the magazines. Some things have changed, but a lot hasn't, and I'll be talking up a storm here about the things I know about ~ Music, Women and the Entertainment Business......with a little skookum thrown in.
