Idle Thoughts

I'm watching The Black List on HBO, and I just wanted to observe that someone should totally make a movie about Suzanne DePasse. Documentary, fiction, whatever - it's something that's sort of occurred to me before, but watching her speak for just a few minutes really brought it home.  She ends up being somewhat of a bit player in the TV biopics about Motown groups like the Jackson 5, but she just seems so ballsy and awesome, and she started out young and gained so much power in a field where Black women don't often have much. Just sending that thought out into the universe.

edited to add: Jezebel posted clips from the show, including Ms. DePasse.
