I woke up today, ready for the “Pre-kend”. That’s right, from 12n on Thurdsay to 5pm on Friday, it’s the “Pre-kend”.  THEN on Friday at 5pm, the weekend starts.  Maybe you’ll talk about that with your friends today, the new word you learned to day, “Pre-kend”. Here are some other trending things that you need to know

TINA TURNER WAS A COUNTRY SINGER FIRST

The world is saying goodbye to and celebrating Tina Turner this morning.  She survived and escaped voilence in her marriage, inspired with her music, broke down barriers, acted, she was a force.  There wasn’t much she couldn’t do, including country music.  That’s right, Tina Turner, before she became the rockin’, dancin’, singing sensation that most of us think of – her first solo album after leaving her husband, was a country album.

YOU GOT CAUGHT WITH YOUR HANDS IN THE COOKIE JAR

I love this next story. Shortly after it was announced a couple days ago that the crackdown on Netflix password sharing had started here in the U.S., this survey came out saying that a whopping 35% of you plan to unsubscribe from Netflix. That could result in a whopping loss of 80 million viewers.  So, let me get this straight – y’all mad cause you got caught stealing.  Oh No! I don’t got that twisted, you got caught stealing and your mad so you’re gonna punish Netflix for catching you stealing.

It doesn’t work that way. This is no different than when you used to pirate music from LimeWire or illegally download movies, or illegally stream NFL games.  It seems like there is a large percentage of the population – I’m going to guess that number to be about equal to the 35% of people mad at Neflix for password enforcement – who don’t understand that it’s wrong to take what isn’t yours.
