Gimme Shelter

2002-12-17 - 6:49 p.m.

Walking down the street in Harlem, conspicuous as a lemur in a race car.

"Hey baby, holla at me! Holla, baby! Holla!"

Smiling, flattered in a weird 'oh-look at that thug yelling at me' way, I put my head down and chuckle.

"Oh c'mon Baaabay. Look at you! You got some black in you! I know you do, woman!"

At this point my laughter is verging on uncontrollable and I can't quite breathe as I wait for the next line. Crossing my fingers, I'm thinking, please street person, don't let me down.

Wait, wait, here it comes..

"Cause you know baabbay, I can PUT some black in ya!"

Oh yeah.
