Another personal one for me. From 3rd grade to 7th grade John Singleton was one of my best friends. We went to Woodworth Elem that you show in one of the first scenes. I could show you where he signed my 7th grade year book. Dude was the coolest. I found out later everybody knew John. When the movie first was announced I called the studio and left a message and within an hour he called me back.

@@80sLife Listen: We all know what the truth is. Christianity is a mental health crisis. It’s a creepy social clique pretending not to be one. People are expected to side against honesty to get laid. It’s a head game that needs to end for good. It creates violence and mental illness in people. Religious people (all religions) celebrate authoritarianism, tribal beliefs, violence, materialistic thinking, and conformity. There is no love in religion. Stop blaming/fearing schizophrenia, and start focusing on meditation and telepathy. Get real. We are spiritual beings. Religion doesn’t promote spirituality. It sides against it to promote “alpha”. There are no alphas. There are men and women that refuse to focus on love. These human beings never evolved over the generations, or in the present moment, and they have no humanitarian ideas within. Others already have evolved socially. These individuals are psychic mediums with very open minds and developed personalities that practice social equality (non-violence). Anyone that focuses on social equality and non-violence (honesty) all across the board in all ways can never be a Christian. Religion is a head game to control women socially. Authoritarian (violent) men want women to feel inferior in the mind. This is jealousy, and it is unfair and unethical. Violence, anger, and aggression towards women doesn’t look good, so it is hidden behind an image of social Godliness. See Christianity and other religions for what they really are, and let them die out. End lying for good.

The two pieces of dialog I always have remembered were from Furious one being when he is talking to Tre about raking leaves and trying to teach him a work ethic along with the paying bills and clothes on his back line! The other is the speech about gentrification, liquor stores & gun shops being on every corner in certain communities yet not in others where wealthy people live!

As I stipulated in your Wayne's World episode, I am from Inglewood. The reason Lawrence street doesn't exist is because they expanded the giant plaza there now, most of it didn't exist at the time. Matter of fact, on the other side of Century Blvd directly across the street where the Target and the Home Depot are now, was the old Hollywood Park racetrack and golf course, although the casino still stands. Moreover, the neighborhood was renamed "The Village". The old name, Darby-Dixon was scraped due to it being synonymous with gangs, and crime. Loved the video!
