It reminds me if a review I read of Michael Bolton's cover of 'Sitting on The Dock Of The Bay". I believe it was in Q magazine. . "If he really hates Otis Redding so much, he should just break into his house and kill his wife and children." rfreeman have a lot of Motown songwriters and singers and musicians to kill.

You're 12 years old. Mom and dad are dragging you to the community center. But it's gonna be Motown night. You know Motown. Mom has a Supremes CD in the minivan. Dad says that Reach Out song is Motown. Maybe tonight will be fun! The lights go down. The curtain rises up, revealing at least a dozen music stands. Is there gonna be an orchestra? The MC introduces the band. Did he say The Beatles? Oh, no, it's the Beagles. It sounds pretty similar. There's a short guy with a big guitar, or at least it looks big in his hands. He looks familiar. You might have seen him picking up his kid at your school. Never took him for a musician. But people have hidden talents, right? They begin playing. Dad leans over to you. "Ooh, this is a good song, son." But then this little hobbit man starts singing. Huh. There are a few women on stage with no instruments, shouldn't they be singing? You turn back to dad. The excitement on his face quickly drains. The women start singing too. Hey, it actually doesn't sound so bad. But then it's that little dude again. He sounds like uncle Jack after he had too much eggnog and joined in the karaoke last christmas. Except this isn't funny. Mom is whispering something to dad. She looks confused and upset. Now the guitar guy is just speaking, rapping even? Dad turns to you. "Put your coat on, son."
A few weeks go by. You've forgotten about that night by now. Your head is filled with normal 12 year old thoughts, of school, girls, video games. And then, COVID hits. The whole world stops. You're in lockdown at home with mom and dad. It's tough, but they try to make the best of it. Hey, at least it's getting warm out. And they just had a pool installed last year. You look forward to some nice times in the backyard, going for a swim, having burgers and hot dogs off the grill. Over the fence, you hear some noise. Music! But wow, the guitar is bad. Must be a kid trying to practice. You picked up your cousin's guitar once and sounded just like that. You peer over. It's that strange little troll man from the show! Oh no!

Congratulations, Hoffa! Nobody had ever slipped since so effortlessly into the skin of a 12-year-old boy since Michael Jackson.

In a thread certain to be gorfed shortly forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/what-marks-the-end-of-the-hippie-dream-to-you.1016658/rfreeman finds a way to make it all about himself and his band: "8/9/95 R.I.P. Captain Trips - WALSTIB He kept the Acid Test vibe alive for 30 years. Also came the month of my bar exam and 30th birthday - so really good bye to an extended adolescence and time to start selectively pretending to be an adult. Fortunately kept making enough of my own music to stay young at heart."

rfreeman is keeping Jerry alive by poorly imitating his playing in every terrible song no matter what the style.

That's voter harassment. I hope he was reported.

Was that one of stable genius Trump's incompetent plans to steal tbe vote? Hire the Beagles so that their sickly caterwauling would send Biden voters running away screaming? Come January, I understand that rfreeman can get a sweet quid pro quo deal to land Rudy Giuliani to perform as a featured rapper for the Beagles, so long as rfreeman is willing to take his case. Impossible. rfreeman is a clever blues lawyer, and if he let's Giuliani add words to a song of his he would have to share composer credits.

Rfreeman could never get a booking at Four Seasons Garden Center.
