www.ponderedthoughts.com website.

Hint:  it was after the 1924 Ford Model T

I remember a TV commercial announcing the release of the 1924 Ford Model T.  i can't find it anywhere on youtube though.

But there was no such thing as TV in 1924...

You guys should beware of my attempt at dry humor every now and again.  I get my wife on things like this all the time and she can't stand it.  ;D

The 57 one was interesting, yet uncomfortable -----(white) people rapping in 1957.

But this proves rapping was around before 78.

i really learned alot from that film.  See, people today can't teach.
