IN 1990, YOU COULD NOT TELL ME THAT THE WORLD DID NOT REVOLVE AROUND THIS WOMAN. WHILE I WAS A FAN - WELL, SOMEWHAT A FAN OF HER 1988 DEBUT ALBUM, IT WASN'T UNTIL THE RELEASE OF THIS SONG AND VIDEO THAT I PROMISED TO DEDICATE MY LIFE TO HER. FROM THE MOMENT I HEARD THE INTRO "UM, I CAN BE A TRIP BUT I CHOOSE NOT TO...", I WAS HOOKED! UNFORTUNATELY, THE A CAPPELLA INTRO WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE RADIO EDIT. HELL, IT WASN'T EVEN INCLUDED ON THE ALBUM (IT WAS AVAILABLE ON THE CD AS A BONUS TRACK, BUT IN 1990, I WAS STILL BUYING CASSETTES). THE TUNE WOULD BE HER LAST TOP 10 SINGLE. FOLLOW-UP SINGLES FAIRED MODERATELY, BUT BY THE RELEASE OF HER THIRD ALBUM, HER POP CAREER FIZZLED. SHE WOULD GO ON TO DISCOVER TLC, BUT MANY OF US KNOW HOW THAT STORY ENDED. HERE'S TO PEBBLES AND MY CONTINUED DEDICATION TO HER EXISTENCE!
