I’ve had a couple of conversations about how Gen X is culpable in some of the info younger millennials and gen z don’t know... bc WE haven’t played stuff, shown stuff, explained stuff. Today was the first time I considered: “Well damn, this isn’t general pop culture info anymore” https://twitter.com/naima/status/1260666226042437632

So I’ll also add for those who maybe didn’t know about the song: MLK’s birthday wasn’t observed as a holiday until 1983, which is why my gen all know this song. Black radio stations played this joint to death EVERY MLK holiday.
