I was there, but there ain't there no more.

Where is "there"? "There", is a state of mind that no longer exists.

I was in LA on the strip, I was in Chicago listening to Ahmad Jamal at "Ricks" on North Shore Drive, I was in Atlanta on Peachtree Street, when Atlanta was the most fabulous city I had ever been to. I partied up and down Grand Blvd. in St. Louis; but "there" ain't there no more. There is no "there" nowhere.

When I looked at those kids dancing on "Soultrain", it reminded me of a time when "there" could be a multitude of places.

"There" is where people are free, happy, and having a good time.

I saw with my own eyes the D-heads ruin it for everybody, and they did it intentionally. We are in a "depression", and Don Cornelius's suicide is just another symptom of that depression.
