Mary J. Blige & I were born on the same day, about 30 miles apart (the distance from Pompton Plains to Yonkers, as the crow flies), so I try to keep up with her work. In fact, she was the first person to expose me to the word hateration, in her great song Family Affair. I’ve always wanted to pay tribute to that, and now I get my chance:
I expect a credit (if not royalties) for her next single, “Let’s Get Brownulated!”
