Hats off to CNN's Roland Martin for breaking this story, reporting it via Twitter, and for overcoming claims that it wasn't true and pressing forward. Martin checked his sources and stayed with the news, sad as it is to consume. Teena Marie was well-loved by many who, especially during the racially-divided 70s, wanted to see a white person break into the black music scene and be accepted. Teena Marie, a protege of funkmaster Rick James, did just that.
Lady T was, in her 50s, still performing, and was set to go on more tours when her life was taken by a heart attack, after having suffered a seizure the month before.
Really sad. Folks. Please remember to listen to your body and drink a ton of water. If your body is saying stop, whatever your doing, stop it.
Hey, stuff still works, I guess. And by "stuff," I mean MoJo, and whatever else it takes for him.
But I think, and this is my theory, that Hugh's lived so long because he surrounds himself with young college-aged women.
He's still stuck in high dollar frat World, and given the great food, booze, sex, limos, parties, and hot chicks, why not?
Hef's made a business of having fun.
Let's see. Hugh was, what, 54, 64, 74, now 84, but his girlfriends and wives have always been somewhere around 24. It's like the fountain of youth for Hef!
Next, we'll read about 104-year-old Hugh Hefner marrying a 24-year old.
Think about it.
Meanwhile, I'll think about Teena Marie in Heaven.
