You Dropped the Bomb on Me
...back when I lived in Little 5 Points, Atlanta we used to shoot over to the Star Bar after work to see "*DJ Romeo Cologne*":http://atlanta.creativeloafing.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A14130 lay down the disco cuts every Tuesday night...dude used to get decked out in full gear: a big ass pompadour wig, funky-fly polyester pant suits and he topped his whole so-bad-that-its-good couture ensemble off with a seedy, pencilled-on Zorro crustache on his upper lip...it was glorious to behold... when I was there last year, that shit was still going strong, sans Romeo...the crowd was people I didn't know and all the bartenders that were down with me were nowhere to be seen...but still I saw traces of when me, neighborhood rats and home biscuits like my man George Chang (the late "*founder of club MJQ*":http://chronicridicule.blogspot.com/2005/05/mjq-lounge-george-lives.html ) would show up after work and get hammered on that small-ass dance floor...whenever I hear this Gap Band tune I remember all those guys and what made L5P such a cool spot to live, work and hang around in at one moment in time...hard to believe that this powerhouse of sound "*came from Oklahoma, of all places*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gap_Band but then I look at this picture I found and I'm a believer...whatever's clever...Romeo used to start every set by spinning this jam...FONK!!!
