Can somebody please make a review about "The ballad of Dorothy Parker"

It starts out like he's been doing it--all jazzy style right?--then he gets it going into a jam that is semi-unrecognizable..but he gets it going and he starts chanting Dorothy Parker Dorothy Parker over and over again like he is in a vibe-trance and then he stops on a dime! and the crowd is continuing to go 'Dorothy Parker Dorothy Parker' all by themselves..that shit is tight like that. Most of It Aint Ova is a jam session so when u think of titles of songs don't think they will even resemble anny of the original configuration of what you are used to..a plus and a minus.

Ahem one more thang, does it sound like his pre4mance in the CBS network(I'm not sure on which show, Leno I'm guessing) btw its a new pre4mance where Johny Blackwell, Najee and Rhonda play with him.

If it sounds like that then YAY biggrin

yeah i was at that gig at THE HOB, he went over to Renato's keyboard & started playing with him, it was funkin' awesome. During the soundcheck earlier that day at The Kodak he was showing Renato how to play it, surpised me they hadn't practiced that one w/ him yet.

All I can say is...this is a great song. The arrangement is like nothing else and the lyrics are sexy and funny all at the same time. Sounds like a real man to me!!!
