Magoo?

I was re-reading some of my old 'Uptown's and in several of the early issues while refering to, I think, 'Act II' tour they made several mentions of a Game Boyz/ NPG member called 'Magoo'. I don't remember him at the time?! Nothing in Vault. Anyone got a clue?

Magoo was a member of the road crew in the late 80s/earlys. First name James, I think?

Really? Interesting. They have him joining the Game Boyz as a dancer. (Interestingly - & boy do I miss those days - they for several issues think 'Poor Goo' is actually called 'Magoo' in honour of him) I bow to your superior knowledge smile

And wasn't "Poor Goo" written about him?

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

For the first NPG album GOLD NIGGA in the fall'93 the line-up was the same as on the ACT I tour (minus Mayte) with a new male dancer Magoo added. The NPG Hornz played on some tracks (so did prince who also uncredited [noone, or nothing, is credited on this half-official NPG Records album] sung lead vocals on some tracks).

Ok lets start at 2pm when i got the theatre.. There was a crowd of only 10 people, half of whom had slave written on their face, and one true idiot, who dressed up as O-+>, complete with hair/makeup, slave on face, the whole deal. Around 3:45 the first limo pulled up, there were police barricades up, with a good amount of fans on both sides of the barricades. The first limo had i think, Morris, Sonny, and MikeB.. Then a second one pulled up a few minutes later, with Tommy and Mayte.. Then the van with the technicians, Zeke, Magoo, and others.. All this anticipation for O-+> to show up, was building up, the NYC finest were out to protect him.
