No. 23 - Move your escalade, DJ
Cussed the Escalade taking up 2 parking spots at Canes in OPKS like they owned the place..then I walked in & @superdj56 is waiting on his chicken fingers to go. Played it cool but wish would have asked for a pic since it ended up being last season as Chief! #DT58DJ56MYFAVES

Leaving the Prince concert at Kemper in April 2001, I turned to tell my husband something & ran SMACK into a brick wall! Took a step back, looked up, said"Are you?" He said yes & asked if I was ok. Yes, asked if he was & he laughed... Priest Holmes! ❤
