That’s a mean cup of water — A mytho-legendary quote attributed to The Man in Black himself Johnny Cash when he performed live at San Quentin Prison.
Many people were against his performance in prisons especially prison guard unions who thought that a Johnny Cash prison performances would quite probably incite riots.
What actually happened was that Cash said: “If there are any guards still talking to me could you bring me a cup of water”.
After he finished drinking it, Cash destroyed and crushed the tin cup in which his water had been provided. Then he sang a song about the uselessness of San Quentin Prison and theories of rehabilitation called: San Quentin.
His Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin Album was certified gold on August 12th 1969 and in spite of the documented evidence to the contrary, the legend of the “ That’s a mean cup of water” quote is more powerful than what actually occurred.
But that’s the thing about a good and well told mytho-legendary story: it’s never what actually happened; it’s what SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!!!

That baby has been here before! — The recognition of worldliness in the eyes and posture of a baby or young child. This preternatural awareness indicates that the child hasn’t forgotten much between the death in the last lifetime and the reincarnation into this lifetime.
Though largely belonging to the religions of the book, African American Black culture, low key, accepts reincarnation as a metaphysical possibility.
Young boys who carry themselves in this way are given nicknames like “Half Man”.
They are also called Li’l + (a name). So there will be a Big Mike and a Li’l Mike, for example.
Most little boys named Michael are bad; and, little boys who attract bad boy names HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN HERE BEFORE.
People who fulfill this definition are charismatic and have a lifetime of adventures.
Interestingly, this behavior is encouraged in boys; but, not in girls which leads to predictably bad outcomes in both situations.
In the disco era, a song called: There but for the Grace of Gods described the birth of “…a little girl with a crooked smile” who does not come to a good end because she is smothered by overprotection.
The opposite of this is adventurous boys who end up at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Surviving these adventures whether you are a man or a woman earns you the moniker “Old Head” meaning: not only have you seen a lot; but you have lived to tell about it.
And maybe people should both listen to and learn from your experiences.

Get the That baby has been here before! mug.Is that how you remember it? — a statement designed to call into question the projected memories of a person waxing poetic about the past. It’s another way of saying: HELL NAW!!!!!!!! It wasn’t that way at all!!!!!! The ethos of “Is that how you remember it?” Is best captured by The Doobie Brothers song featuring Michael McDonald on lead vocals What a Fool Believes — which was an awesome song.
And yes! That’s how I remember it!
And yes! That’s how I remember it!
Lover #1 when we were together we were both happy. No matter where we went out to eat, it seemed as though they were always playing our song. I never knew love before I met you!
Lover #2 Is that how you remember it?
Rich and successful person: The “come up” is the best part. Maaaaaaaaaaaan! I think I was happier when I was in the struggle and every day was a scramble. At least I knew who I was and who to trust.
Most loyal old true friend: Is that how you remember it?

Get the Back up that money truck! mug.…in that good way! — An expression used by the character William Knifeman in the ground breaking series Reservation Dogs.
This series was to First Nation Native Americans in the 2020’s what Roots was to Black Americans in The 1970’s in terms of stellar prime time representation of a major ethnic cast with a positive representation of cultural love; and cultural self-awareness,
A sprit, William Knifeman would appear riding a horse. He is a trickster figure who asks more questions then offering answers; and, he is inevitably at turns both hilarious and heartbreaking.
He once blessed a Sonic tater tot by asking it to protect and nourish the body of the character that was eating it and to help with cholesterol …in that good way.
A most infectious saying!!!!!
This series is perfect for a Sankofa viewing and is best watched in a circle. One you finish all four seasons of Reservation Dogs, immediately watch it again as though you were reading Finnigans Wake.
The story of a people never ends, it continues in a cycle…in that good way.
And representation matters!
Mvto!!!!!
