Soul Train

I watched a few minutes of Soul Train, a dance and music show that's been around since I can remember. I was exposed to the show when I was in the San Francisco's Youth Guidance Center in 1986.

Soul Train was something every kid looked forward to every Saturday at ten o'clock. Everyone got to come out of his cell and watch the show. There was no talking. If someone had to go to the restroom, he had to raise his hand and ask for permission. Anyone who violated that rule got sent back to the cell. Therefore, all the kids were well bahved. No one wanted to miss Soul Train.

It's 2005 and the train is still rolling strong. What a ride it's been.
