Rick James RIP
Rick James RIP — yeah, yeah, cocaine, Chappelle, what did the hand say etc. etc. etc.
What matters for me at least:
Me at 10: “What the…’coming home intoxicated?’…what a weird line. I like this song.”
Me at 11: *hears ‘Super Freak’ on the radio and it is just so great that it’s indescribable*
Me at 19: “Well cripes, every time I sing the song now I have MC Hammer in my head.”
Me in later years: “Oh, that was “*Temptations* sing” at the end of the song, and those were the Temptations. That’s cool. This double-disc collection is great, how come I didn’t get any of his stuff earlier?”
Me now: “Damn, man. RIP.”
And I’ll leave it at that.
