After a Decade of Silence Sade is Back

[Cliff897]

***********1. Enforce rules only against their foes (i.e., anyone who does not suck up to them) while exempting their friends from similar or worse behavior.

2. Silently boot someone and then proceed to trash talk the person as if the person was still there with an opportunity to respond.

3. Boot someone and then start a thread for the sole purpose of boasting about having removed the person, so as to bask in the praise of sychophantic members applauding the moderator's bold action.

4. If a person is being stalked or trolled, scold, warn and threaten both the victim and the perpetrator to stop it. If the victim protests, boot the victim for having defied the moderator's authority. Add injury to insult by allowing the troll or stalker to stay because the stalker or troll didn't talk back to the moderator.

5. If the moderator loses an argument to another member, selectively delete the member's comments so that the thread no longer makes any sense.

6. Selectively enforce the tribe's rules only against newcomers, newbies or people who are not friend with the moderator.

7. Speak about their actions as moderator in the passive voice, use the royal we, and otherwise take on a haughty, authoritarian tone. I mean, dude, you're just a moderator. ***************

And what a great decade it was. The she had to go and ruin it by coming back!

She dropped out of sight after that one debut album and a decade later is back.

I hope she's got her Sade Adu band. They were good together.

Her band before that had the likes of Ray St. John, who wanted to pursue that 1980's style music that has it's own sound unique to the decade

I don't like them, She was better splitting off.

Another female vocalist from the period was Basia tʐɛtʐɛlɛfska. Polish born lots of energy, but she wasn't able to carry on with her first foray.

Cliff, are you digging the new Sade? I haven't stolen it yet.

Must agree. The Sade Adu band has always been nice and tight, and could consistently lay down a nice groove without being showy about it. Have you checked out those Sweetback albums (just the band, without Sade)?

Haven't heard it yet, but I'm really excited about this album. Love Deluxe was one of my go-to records, back when I was single, on those rare occasions when I'd be lucky enough to convince a girl to actually come over to my pad ... Lovers Rock was hit or miss, I thought - some tracks great, some pretty blase.

Tonight might be the night!
