I was born...city they call Buffalo
Zero degrees BE-low...too damn cold and funky
(pass the joint)
R.I.P., Rick James
A little history on me and that lyric...I first heard Below The Funk at my babysitter's grandson's house when I was 6. I remember listening to that record and seeing the album cover for Prince's Dirty Mind. After that summer, which was right before I started first grade (so was I 5?) I didn't hear that song again until 1994, when I bought the Street Songs CD. Over 15 years later, I still remembered that lyric exactly. I was amazed.
I'm saddened, but just a little. Now when J.B. transitions...
