1/ In 1984 the Olympics were in Los Angeles and everybody acted like it was going to be awful and overcrowded and wanted to leave town. I don’t know why. I went to one of the events and it was something I’ll never forget. The energy was extraordinary.

2/ For those who read “A Return to Love,” that was when I got stood up by the guy who went to the opening ceremonies:) Never got so much mileage from a bad night. 😉

positive criticism: "i don't know why" was the real core of the tweet here and you shouldn't draw conclusions when you don't yet have a full understanding of the thing.

I was all set to go to the 1980 games in Moscow through a package deal from the USO. Then Reagan boycotted because the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. I never even got my money back.

Nooooo the LAPD is already asking for more money for the Olympics!!! This is the complete opposite to what our city needs.

The 1984 Olympics were a great party for some white folks, but the horrifying brutality shown towards Black Angelenos before the games and systematized after was inexcusable. thenation.com/article/archiv…
