Some cool quotes by artist Robert O'Dell about the "Dirty Mind", etc... http://www.myspace.com/robertodell ..."Dirty Mind" is like a major Warner underground release that they pressed up in the middle of the night on coke, laughing, because there was no-one around to stop them; then sunrise came and they started packing that shit on the truck and it was too late. Then "Controversy" came out… mega star!” ( ) “When "Dirty Mind" came out I was really digging the style and sound. Back then, everyone who really liked Prince in high school wore Rude Boy buttons, but no-one had one exactly like Prince’s. It made me mad ! Sometimes you would catch someone with leg warmers and a trench coat on… cold blooded it was. "I used to try to dress like Prince… then The Time came out and saved me ! They had better Prince look-a-likes in my school so I was happy to change my style. "Get It Up" and "The Stick" were the hottest things that ever hit radio and The Time started playing clubs days after they released their record. I dragged my dad to this place, The 20 Grand in Detroit. I don’t ever take my dad anywhere like this, but the EP that they had was so hot ! It was a good show." "The Electrifying Mojo used to play Prince all the time. I was going to school one morning… boom boxes weren’t allowed and I would ride in the back of the bus with one of those flat cassette tape machines that uses C batteries. I had "Head" on one time and this girl lost it and started gyrating her pelvis on the seat and licking her tongue out. It was so funny because she was seriously jacking off in front of us." ( ) "My band back in high school, The Bratts, got signed to 8 Mile Productions through the drummer's aunt. We were able to get Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to come to the drummer's house to hear us. They were going to be our producers, but someone sabotaged it all. This was around '83. I finally got to play at Fifth Avenue in '97 in a group called Super Glue." http://citinite.wordpress...he-rebels/ | |
