Reply to "BoyBar"

I saw Connie last night (she does the door at Sammy Jo's "Gary 49" party @ Mr. Black).
Well she almost fell off her stool when I asked her about "Blackie" she was laughing so hard.
"Blackie!!!! I don't think so."

Anyway , I got to the bottom of the famous "Exitte" story. (pronounced ex zeet)
The young Connie was on the train with the legendary Christine and Christine was saying "Girl, you got to get a name".
Connie looked up at the EXIT sign and said what about "Exit"?
"No girl, it's not fancy enough".
And Connie said, "What if I pronounce it "Exitte" like in French"?
"YES GIRL! EXITTE"!
So Connie was "Exitte"...
(luckily for one week).

I was going to save this story for Black History month but I couldn't wait.

Connie Fleming as Angela Davis, Jackie 60, 1999.
