13416830, He wants to send a message through his art, and to change the world...
Posted by flipnile, Tue Dec-15-20 01:08 PM
...but he's old now, and probably pretty out-of-touch with the youth.
This is they type of song he should've dropped in the 70s or 80s. Now he seems like a preachy old man.

13416959, A girl recently posted this on twitter, saying Smokie dropped this heat
Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Wed Dec-16-20 08:27 AM
She was from LA and was dead ass serious. I rushed to the comments to be entertained by the vehement disagreement I was sure to find there, but all I saw was agreement, people saying stuff like "damn this lit, never even heard this one." Talk about feeling like you're in the twilight zone lol.

13417005, this isn't new but yeah
Posted by Mynoriti, Wed Dec-16-20 01:19 PM

13417243, *Technically* you do drive a car with your feet (the pedals)
Posted by flipnile, Fri Dec-18-20 10:51 AM
You steer with your hands & arms.
Just semantics tho, 'cause I know exactly what you mean.

13417250, 1. THE SOUL IS IN THE BOWL 2. See also:
Posted by double negative, Fri Dec-18-20 11:33 AM
I must be the only person who remembers seeing Smokey's bowls in the frozen food section back when I lived in Oakland back in 03-05. I would always laugh at the line "the soul is in the bowl"
Don't believe me? See for yourself: https://ww1.prweb.com/prfiles/2006/04/03/367604/ChickenGumboBoxFront.jpg
On the topic of the video, if that gets you then you will enjoy this other great example of old heads making something "the kids will like"
