Happy Birthday Chuck D of Public Enemy
Back in the day (I sound so old), and being the "Jill of all Trades" that I am, I used to cater for WDKX Radio when they brought concerts to town. My daughter had to be around 5 or 6 and the station brought Public Enemy and several other groups to town for a holiday show. I cooked all the food, set up the dining hall as well as all the dressing rooms at the Blue Cross Arena. Everyone had eaten except for Flava Flav (a whole other story) and gone to their dressing rooms. The only person still in the dining area was Chuck D. With just him and me in the room, he struck up a conversation – One that has stuck with me through all these years: Chuck : Is this your full-time job Me : No. I work full time for Xerox and do catering on the side Chuck : Do you have any kids? Me : Yes. I have one daughter Chuck : Does she believe in Santa Claus (it was right before Christmas)? Me : Yes Chuck : Don’t you dare tell her that a fat white man is coming down
