My Buffalo Stance is this:
- Buffaloes should have the right to choice. Their choice has no direct effect on you.
- Buffaloes can use the bathroom that corresponds with their identity. The bathroom they choose has no direct effect on you.
- Buffaloes should be free to marry who they choose, provided that other party consents. Who they marry has no direct effect on you.
- Buffaloes should be able to go to the mall or the multiplex to see Barbie-Q without fearing gun violence.
- Buffaloes should be free to move about where they choose and not be confined to one geographical location.
- There should be no restrictions placed on the book a buffalo may choose to read or eat. A buffalo learning about something has no direct effect on you.
- Buffaloes can dress and wear their hair as they choose, even at school. How a buffalo styles their hair has no direct effect on you.

It’s Friday and I Need To Dance!
I love to dance. I also love to eat and to sleep, but I really love to dance. It is my favorite activity. Yes, I like it even more than swimming. If the music is right I can go for hours at a time. In the early nineties, while living in New York City, I would go dancing almost every weekend. Those weekends when I wasn’t at a club I’d be dancing in my living room. Being that I lived in a 200 square foot apartment, my living room also served as my bedroom, den, and dance studio.
Every Friday, Tunes Du Jour will publish a dance playlist. Play it loud and get down, whether in your living room, bedroom, den, dance studio, on a bus, in the waiting room of your ophthalmologist’s office or at the dog park. It’s a great way to welcome the weekend.
Being today is the birthday of Tina Weymouth, a founding member of both Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, we will spotlight some of her work. Our party kicks off with “Wordy Rappinghood,” a UK million-seller that topped the dance chart in the US in early 1982.
