WHATEVER YOU DO, WHEREVER YOU GO, PATRICIA WILL STAY BY YOUR SIDE - 13/05/22
Just yesterday, when Netflix approached me to write a one-woman show, I had to say no. No, because obviously flattered by such an offer, I went to take a closer look at who I'd be associated with.

You've got to see it.
And then, and then there's also the birthday of music legend Stevie Wonder, the guy with 100 million albums sold whose career came to an end in 1984 with I Just Called... but before that a countless number of slamming masterpieces of which here's my favorite. Adios muchachas:
