CultureHow’s It Going? New Edition
I’ve been wanting to do this since I took over this post. Welcome back to our daily open thread. The only question about the New Edition edition of How’s It Going? was which song to use. “Candy Girl” is too obvious. “Mr. Telephone Man” hasn’t aged well. So I went with the most modest of…
