I love to tell people how I dated a colored girl in high school. When they inevitably politically correct my adjective, I drop the boom: she was a mixed raced girl from South Africa. This one is true.

So essentially, white men are damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

One of those isn't true.

I also told her I wasn't too keen on moving to Portland. She said, "this town is so glamorous, bet you'd love to live here and be one of us."

Port of Portland once recruited me for the job of port manager. I told the headhunter lady I was just the marketing guy for a shipping software company; I had zero experience with actual port operations. She said "that's okay."

Go-Gos are greatly underrated. Not just a 'girl band'. Exquisitely crafted songs. They paid homage to the 60's pop sound without devolving into pastiche.
