Real Talk Tuesdays: Mr. Randy Watson

Coming to America was the first rated R movie I ever saw.  It remains one of my favorite comedies today.  Eddie Murphy has since stopped making good movies, Arsenio Hall has meanwhile proven little worth and Whitney Houston is a mess (but she's getting help).  Despite all that, this scene and this song bring you the following words of wisdom:

 

I believe the children are our future

teach them well and let them lead the way

show them all the beauty they possess inside

 

 

Go hug your kids.
