It's perfect, from the wayfarer sunglasses to the Teletubby crown. I can't begin to understand the significance of it all.

I'm just grateful that he's so concerned with the strength of today's youth.

Lets see - that's my jacket, my glasses, my hat-crown thingy, but I don't remember who had the pamphlet. I guess it never occurred to me to wonder whether he minded us selling a CD that he had recorded for profit without asking or giving him any money.

So Stevie... will you be going to your HS reunion??

Stephen said...

nathan: you made a profit on those? i surely never saw any of that cash flow.

Stephen said...

making a profit on the gospel of mr. olson sounds like priestcraft to me....

I believe I paid for one of those, were they supposed to be free? What the?

Made a couple hundred dollars. Lost money on the next cd, but not more than $50 or so. I should start selling it online. They were playing Love Hurts at a Mexican place in Alabama the other day.

There are Sly Stone grooves, Philly soul, rockabilly, Rhythm & especially Blues, an upbeat Ray Charles routine, Motown referencing "Happy Together", Marvin Gaye laments and a jazzy Southern marching band to carry us home. That said, this has a modern, edgy sound, cleaning off all sleepiness, played tight and mean. Saadiq has no time for middlebrow revivals. He pursues the heart and social significance of the classics and in doing so produces one himself.
