This is the hardest one. Artme, hopefully, will hook in here soon and then we will see .... Haa

Waiting, waiting, waiting.
JJ had 3 white wives and spent time in prison. JO accepted sponsorship and was stripped of amateur status. He was married to one woman, and at first refused to support the Black Power closed fist salute.
Waiting, waiting. Yes, yes, I know it'll gut yer to have to give it to me......
