U.L. Harper replied to The Man's discussion 'Legendary V.I.P. World Famous Records Closes Shop'"Your husband owned Zed's. Wow! I have history there. As a matter of fact, a good friend of mine, Rusty, worked there for quite a while. On the down low, Zed Records was a landmark."
U.L. Harper replied to The Man's discussion 'Legendary V.I.P. World Famous Records Closes Shop'"Yep, businesses like V.I.P.

Robert Alexander replied to U.L. Harper's discussion 'Wasted Education'"I just wish our educators would teach more of the truth to our kids instead of misinforming them with infomation that hides the truth. Period. That will end alot of this BS that goes on within our school system."
