Today, food is poisoned. I was watching Soul Train from the 60s and 70s, and everyone was thin and dancing together. Then I watched Soul Train from the 80s and everyone was big and muscly and nobody was dancing together. They started putting steroids in the meats in the 80s. Food is not supposed to make you fat, nor should it cause your teeth to rot. If you look at ancient skulls, they all have their teeth, but they did not have the “luxury” of “modern” dentistry. You should not have to exercise to be thin and healthy. They poison us, and then say it is our fault for not working out.

43년만에 듣네요 어린시절 생각나네요 감사합니다

In 1979 i was 9 years old and i was deeply in love with him.... in fact i never ever forget his name . And i agreed with lots of comments , was a better time to live . Now is all fake and hollow snc pathetic . I calm down myself in the nightime when im more stress thinking in the late 70's and 80's .... is not that everything's looked better , everything WAS better . Difficulties and bad times have existed always but what we are living now is simply disgusting .... and most of the time too wrong and twisted.

We are the same age, I remember him from his start here in Cali. He did a few meet and greet, signings at the shopping mall. There is a lot of haters out there who only could wish they had the opportunity . Great kid, guy....The teen idol era back then was so competitive. I never blamed him or looked down upon him. He had success and the pressures as a young kid without his father. He didn't have trust with a family member as a agent or guardian. He had to try to trust the money hungry vultures in the business at the age of 15. His book on Amazon is a great, true story. Buy it, support him, if he gave you childhood dreams and smiles in 1978.
