The Funk Brothers

[Gvac]

What an amazing bunch of musicians, and from the sound of it, an incredibly bunch of guys too.

This was the best "celebrity" interview I've ever heard Ron and Fez do, and they managed to be professional though you could tell they were positively gushing.

The music those men created and played is some of the greatest ever recorded in my opinion, and it's great to see them getting their just desserts after all these years.

Not as good as Rutger Hauer or Ed Asner but seriously, a great job. Just hearing that they worked with one of my all time faves, the great Jackie Wilson was incredible.

I wouldn't mind hearing the Funk Brothers jam with the members of LA's Wrecking Crew (who played on most of the Phil Spector and Beach Boys hits) and the Stax Volt House band aka Booker T. and The MGs.

Another great celebrity interview. I've heard less than a dozen "real" celebrities on the show, but R&F always bring out the best...they don't slide into that "how many famous chicks have you banged?" crap that too many other DJ's love...

Durnit!

I missed the part of the show that I was REALLY looking forward to. . .because I needed to go grocery shopping and couldn't leave until my roommate's boyfriend got home.

Not that he doesn't have a car or that she doesn't have a car, it's just that he wanted to buy her dinner and insisted that we wait for him to get home. In RUSH HOUR traffic. In CENTRAL JERSEY where, I am convinced, there are more cars than people.

Then, we had to drive him to class. Grrrr.

So, we didn't even get to the grocery store until 7:00. . . and didn't get out until almost 9!

So, I missed the Funk Brothers. I was really looking forward to it, too, especially considering that I couldn't make it to Bar 9. :(

OK, enough whining. . . if anyone has a CD-burn of the show (from 7pm to about 8:30pm), would they send it to me? Pretty please?

Since they were a studio band, I wonder if they played in front of a studio audience. It worked for John Ritter.

I heard they also played with Phil Collins. Stu-stu-studio.

it would have been really great if you could have understood one word that the old guy they kept deferring to had to say.

They also played with Master P on I believe "I got the hookup" or something like that
