D'Angelo was remarkable in so many ways. I'm saddest right now, as a fan, that we won't be getting an eccentric late period from him. His contributions remain inestimable but what he would have made in his 50s and onward, I just know it would have been amazing. RIP

streaming is cool and all but l miss flipping thru cable on dreary autumn afternoons looking for something to watch and I’d find a bad rom com or good action movie or something classic to pass the time. this is how I found most of the movies I love! education comes in all sorts of containers!!!!
