For anybody outside of the DMV, or for anybody under a certain age, Petey Green was an icon of DC Black radio & television.
He's actually on my top 5 list of Black Washingtonians:
1. Mayor Marion Barry
2. Chuck Brown
3. Marvin Gaye
4. Petey Greene
5. Dave Chappelle
Here's Don Cheadle portraying Mr. Green in the (very slept-on) movie Talk To Me:

    Petey was such a funny dude man. My father loves his work. I grew up hearing his voice.

    On the topic of watermelon, why do people mess with something that is already good? Like when you get a juicy one that is perfectly ripe, leave it the hell alone! Cut it right and enjoy it.

    Marion Barry will always be my favorite person from that area. He was one of the best politicians ever since he had the balls to stand up for our people and do what was in our own best interest.
