I’m a blues lover who subscribes to the credo, “ain’t nobody’s business if I do.” At the same time, I mind my own business.
But when your business is plastered all over the Internet and the airwaves, Schadenfreude happens.
The investigation that led to the downfall of Gen. David Petraeus reportedly was triggered by emails from his outside woman, Paula Broadwell, to a second woman, Jill Kelley.
Although Broadwell is a graduate of West Point and Harvard, she could have learned a lot if she had listened to Sippie Wallace. Way back in the day, the blues singer advised women:
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut
Don’t advertise your man
Don’t be no fool!
Don’t advertise your man
Baby don’t do it.
