Nothing says you’re not to be messed with more than declaring “I.AM.NOT.THE.ONE.”

And Bettye LaVette‘s soul-thumping song of the same name does just that.

Now you talk to me

Like I’m a kid

Cause when your daddy said jump

Your mama did

And you know, and your daddy knows

Your mama knows and I know

That’s wrong

So now it’s time

For you to move on

Preach on, baby!

My current obsession Scandal led me to Ms. LaVette. So once again, Kerry Washington, I bow down to thee.
