A shout out to Whitney...

So Whitney Houston has filed for divorce from Bobby Brown, asking for custody of Bobbi in the process. I must admit to be sorta surprised. Not just because I've always loved her music from the very beginning and she was one of the few concerts I'd ever gone to see so I'm sorta biased towards her. But mostly because for anyone who saw "Being Bobby Brown" or the Diane Sawyer interview ("'Crack is cheap. I make too much money to use crack. Crack is wack.") would quickly come to the conculsion that Whitney was the "freak of the week" in that relationship. Me? I always viewed Bobby as the enabler and not really the culprit. Hey, folks do what they want to do, knaaa-mean?

Anyway, I wanted to give a shout out to the two of them to say THANK YOU for fourteen years of interesting headlines.

For having pot found in your luggage yet you bull on through the airport authorities showing "chutzpah" is a word even Blacks can use to their advantage. Thanks!

For giving your first duet with Bobby, "Something in Common", a new meaning: we thought you were singing about love but it was really about sharing the same dealer. Robert "Killer" Washington thanks you!

For appearing at a concert at Madison Sq Garden looking so gaunt even a sub-Saharan refugee gave you their dinner. Thanks!

For always giving the National Enquirer a bump in circulation whenever you appeared on the cover. They thank you!

For having a Mother's Day breakfast served to you on one the most famous episodes of "Being Bobby Brown" while wearing shades the entire time. Two snaps up in a figure of Ray Bans.

Whitney? Let's hope you go back to where you were headed before you were interrupted. Music greatness.
