"I remember one time - it might have been a couple times - at the Fillmore East in 1970, I was opening for this sorry-ass cat named Steve Miller. Steve Miller didn't have his shit going for him, so I'm pissed because I got to open for this non-playing motherfucker just because he had one or two sorry-ass records out. So I would come late and he would have to go on first and then we got there we smoked the motherfucking place, everybody dug it." — Miles Davis
Weird shit going on up in the astral plane:Was talking about this just hours before you posted:
ReplyDeleteFrom the wikipedia:
Miller was taught his first guitar chords at age five by his godfather, Les Paul, pioneer of the electric guitar and multi track recording.
Makes so much sense.
Another bonus: anytime I get to see Gerald Johnson strut the southpaw bass is a good day.
Worst. Band. Ever.
