Yeah, that always bothered me a bit....at first I thought they did it to attract younger people to The Funk Bros. (but that don't explain Joan Osborne)... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

Shoot me with a gun at close range. I thought Joan and Ben were among the best performances of the whole tour/film.
Ha ha what "younger people" you talking about? Both have a following with a mid to late 20s and older crowd, though typically white from the jamband scene. test | |

Haven't seen Standing In The Shadows lately, but I thought they showed an admittedly short clip of Jamerson during a live gig with Marvin.
