Heh...well Manic, I was 17 at the time and more than ready. I'd been hung up on art rock (aka prog rock, aka artsy-fartsy poncey poop for lonely depressed nerds) since I was 13, and needed something new. I guess I was tired of being lonely, depressed, and nerdy.

Well, between P-funk, Bootsy, Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire, and loads of other funk, plus big doses of Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, and Miles Davis, I left all that nerdiness in the dust in a hurry! I was having a good time, I was LIVING! I owe a great debt of gratitude to my old friend Jim Good, who rescued me from musical oblivion and showed how to put my foot on the One.

Good bless Chocolate City and its vanilla suburbs,
emspace.
