Vince-
In a word or two, It's ALL good. I still sing that "custom mans" song
and I use the brown acid thing as a joke all the time. "Oh he must have got
some of the brown acid at Woodstock!" As far as the kids today "I look like
my mother did, whe i was those kids age". And I FEEL that way too, but only
on the urban music issue. I live in the burbs, actually in the swamp, yet my
kids just tonight, digging in my collection of music, came up with two cd's
they wanted to listen to. TRU (a Master P project) and Fiend (another New
orleans rapper). The onlyest (a island word) thing I DON'T understand is how
these kids identify with the lyrics of this urban craze. The answer and the
only one that makes sense is the vibe or the feel. Thinking back I don't
remember connecting with the lyrics so much as the vibe or the feel or the
beat. And it's probably the same thing. I don't fight it and I don't make a
big deal about it, but it sure makes me crazy when one minute I am
connecting with my brood on a Miles level and then trying to run some kind
of interference on a Rappers foul langauge cd. But then I DIGRESS (again).
It's all good Vince and I applaud you being able to sing along with Britney
or the Backstreet Boys and The Boxer at the same time. Peace!
Michael
P.S. Maybe you SHOULD have tried the brown acid, hell I did!
