Was (Not Was) and the Romantics team up for New Years Eve bash In Detroit http://www.metrotimes.com...sp?id=7137
It looks like funk band Was Not Was is back on the scene! All I have to say is "Everybody Walk That Dinasour"! My favorite part of this article is when Don was described the difference between LosAngeles and Detroit: While he has long been based in Los Angeles, David says he still carries a Detroit mind-set. “I think Detroit was always this restless hotbed, whether it was those hard bop dudes of the ’50s blowing their asses off, or the punk stirrings of Wayne and Iggy and Alice, or George Clinton keeping it raw and elemental. I don’t have to sell anybody, but what a great place to grow up, and, I’ll tell you the truth, L.A. is the opposite. It is a great place to retire and forget you ever felt that primal feeling before. It’s like you wind up with a better tennis and golf game out here. But you forget that you live in the real world. And in Detroit, you are not allowed to forget it. Between the society, the culture and the weather, you are reminded that you live in a tough-ass world and the art that came out of it was armadillo-hided.” This is a great article. | |

Don Was produced both of those tracks, yes. He's done a lot more than that, though. He's a notable songwriter/producer. "Awards are like hemorrhoids. Sooner or later, every asshole gets one." | |

Not my fave producer, but I think he won the Grammy for producing Bonnie Raitt's Nick of Time album. He did the Traveling Wilburys albums, too. | |
