I know. Wishful thinking.
Hell Aretha had to hold off from sending that hat to the Smithsonian for money reasons but I think it's gonna be included in the Smithsonian this year. | |

'Bout time. Funk Overlord Clinton has done more to advance the unapologetic amalgamation of funky thangs and acid rock than any other living person in contemporary music. | |
