It's an S-n-P thang!

One of my favorite bands of ALL time is Salt-N-Pepa who now have a fantastic new show (in its second cycle) on VH1. They are the most hilarious odd couple. Sandy (Pep) is outrageous to a fault 24/7 and Cheryl (Salt) has settled WAY down to suburban life and church choirs. Even if you don't love them, it's fun to watch them navigate their career as a duo when their lives have diverged from their hip hop pioneering days. If you do like their music, when they do perform it's like flipping a switch. They start tossing mad raps around like they're 18 again. They also had a moving episode where the families of both Salt & Pepa traveled to Jena, Louisiana to attend the civil rights march. Mostly they just shop and argue. It's great!
