WND without a posse

I give up. An entry has existed on my resume for years that must at long last be removed. The reason is simply that no one believes me, including the fine people at imdb. No joke: I worked on "Posse." You may remember the Mario Van Peebles epic that followed a group of black cowboys in the Wild West. You may then wonder how I could have possibly been involved. Perhaps it's the black part; perhaps it's the cowboy part. Whatever the reason, your lack of faith Is irrelevant.

I challenge you to dust off that collector's edition DVD you own and pop it in. Check out the campfire scene and savor the humming falsetto during the sing-along, the angelic warbling provided by yours truly... off-camera. I realize my upper register is more reminiscent of Leo Sayer than Marvin Gaye, but honestly, why would anybody make something like that up? To compensate for a lifelong obsession with Mario "MVP" Van Peebles who NEVER returns his calls? Hardly. In any event, I shall no longer try to associate myself with the film. The world is a sadder place.
