The Great Wake 30: The Funk Brothers

 

No buyers for what they're selling, might as well put it on clearance.  Clean out the inventories, this product is a bust.  Whacked and crunchy, like eating sand, like New Coke, like a pet rock, like hair mousse, like parachute pants.  Grab a mushy tomato, this joke has no punchline.  Pelt all those involved in the debacle, use up the whole crate.

The Supremes left it right there, the sixties were the sixties.  Decide for ourselves, but cut the middle grease, ditch the schemes.  Baby Love and that polished Motown rhythm and blues.  The Funk Brothers were pros, they came to play.  Diana Ross never had it so good.

The brutes are replaced by robots, the brains are replaced by microchips.  This system needs a cold reboot, unplug for 5 minutes.  Cycle it through and relaunch.  Back to the original settings.  Like new.

"1st Victim" by The Mayor Dumb ass.  Loses the element of surprise and becomes the 1st victim.  Add to it, he is carrying an oversi...

Maniacs And Friends

last night i dreamed i forgave everybody for anything ever done anytime before. there were fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers, not to mention extended family. then the people all around -- toilers, drivers, watchers, lovers, maniacs, and friends. things they did, said, implied, yelled, things they ignored, they insisted, they resisted. i was talking with each of them individually, taking my time, and we were committed. nods and shakes, aknowledgments accepted and replaced with a debt of some sort. a responsibility to forgive others in the same manner, slate picked clean and put up. minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, and generations will pass either way.
