Goal #25

Posted on by Great Goal Rush

Back in 1986 I saw this movie named "Little shop of Horrors."  I instantly fell in love with it.  There is a song in it called "Downtown."  The song is about how bad and how hard life life is on Skid Row.  Anyway, there is a black dude who has a raspy beautiful voice in … Continue reading Goal #25 →
