I was later lucky enough to see them live and free at Tower Records around Lenox when my friend (God rest her soul) a buyer there scheduled their in store performance.

Most o’ them would, but that couldn’t be me, that’s not my flava,
Go home and think about that, maybe later on I’ll page ya…”
I contemplated, and then concluded she was bluffin,
