On this day in 1994, R&B singer Major Lance died in his sleep at age 55 and now his daughter is the Honorable Mayor of Atlanta, GA @KeishaBottoms Good genes.
Major Lance's biggest hit was "Monkey Time". I know that, because I own the damn 45 record.
So daughter Keisha, the mayor of Atlanta, was acting surprised on her Twitter, when an Atlantan contacted her about needing to REPAIR AND MAINTAIN (they don't LIKE doing that, requires thinking ahead) the Atlanta water system.
I chimed in to bust her chops and tell her that ball was in her court, and she deleted the tweet! HAHAHAH, but you saw it, didn't ya, Keisha?
The Atlanta water system still has pipes that date back to the 1800's. City hasn't had a decent mayor since Sam Massell; there's been a steady stream of corruption ever since then.
Gawd, how dare anyone think it's the mayor's job to be sure city infrastructure works properly for citizens?
