Dale Joyner gave a fabulous performance..
bravo,bravo,to Dale Joyner…-
the new york times says,”her best yet. the role of a mad woman will never be the same..Dale Joyner owns the role..”
while some in attendance,sat in horrified disbelief,as police tried to decide if they would need to take her out,others of us could hardly hold back our applause…she is the queen of urtv..
Public Access is the Citizen speaking-out,in a form where all you have to do is click or watch.
It’s a OUT-LET that can showcase the good in our City/County,I think we spent to much time pointing the finger when we all share the same road air food etc.Look for the good in life.
