In a bitter twist on a Memorial Day weekend, my friends may have lost their gutsy, clever long-haired Chihuahua to a vicious hawk attack. The dog was feisty and clearly felt he was much more physically imposing than his compact body implied. That could have been his undoing as he sunned himself on a lawn chair like some affluent, contented owner of a sugar plantation. Regardless of circumstance...

Miles from Belafonte...dressed in the cold sterile disco..yet the vocal delivery waivers between satire & something with fangs. Odd that the grand old man of Funk, the man who took James Brown's creation & through genetic modification developed a truly unique sound, could (or would) leap into the soul-less world of techno-disco......and yet there's that vocal, laughing, grinning, tap-danci...

Last.FM friend Kixka_Nebraska forwarded this to me on another network: >> Think of 15 albums, CDs, LPs (if you're over 40) that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life.
