Johnnie B. Good. Maybelline. You Can’t Catch Me. Come on Nelly, just name one. Just say one word or even a grunt for partial credit. Now, I don’t claim to have a Chuck Berry poster hanging on my bedroom wall, but Nelly and Chuck are some of the biggest names to come out of St. Louis. Nelly’s begins by talking about him like he lost a brother, and then when pressed with a basic question, jumps into the backseat faster than a high school couple at a drive-in movie.
Moral of the story: Fake it till you make it.
