Mike got offered a part in Roots and The Diet

Whitney Houston looks like Cicely Tyson in that new photo of her floating around. Ooh, Mike got offered a roll in Roots but couldn’t take it because of a scheduling conflict with the Jacksons Variety Show. I wonder what role he was up for. I just really can’t imagine Mike playing a slave…well, maybe it would have been an interesting stretch…and he would have really looked earthy/dirty. My mom speculates Chicken George, but has no real premise for the guess. Kunta first came to my mind because he and LeVar are very close in age. You’d need some young dude to play The African. Ha, Mike in a loin cloth, he would have needed to eat more and beef up for that role. Read all he used to eat back in yesteryear (late 70’s maybe early 80’s) was raw veggies and fruits. That’s why he looked so gaunt. Maybe I’ll try that.The Michael Jackson diet. It’ll be like Jack Lalane’s juicer. Where is Dick Gregory? He was supposedly Mike’s spiritual advisor for a minute. What in the hell is a spiritual advisor? We’ll maybe they don’t have a license to preach or have a preachery title.
