Morris Day appreciation thread

I still demand Morris day for next Basement Jaxx album (and Jesse on Guitar "Jesse play me one of those sexy solos"

Yeah, but even Jaz Coleman isn't crazy enough to fuck with Morris Day.

I mean, Morris Day might threaten to do the Oak Tree or something!

i still like the idea of a Jaz Coleman v. Morris Day FITE!

I cannot stop laughing at the mental image of Morris Day angrily oaktree-ing at Jaz Coleman, who huddles inthe corner whimpering, "No... please... NO MORE!!!"

apparently the time will be performing with rihanna at the grammys!

You serious? Hot Damn! The whole The Time? Now I must Tivo.

Yup yup, there was a post about it on Idolator last week.

its amazing! although who put that one together i dont know. what are they going to sing together?!

what was that sitcom he was in?...I recall he was a bit of a stiff as a comedic actor, which surprised me, given his larger-than-life stage persona...

My wishlist: Umbrella --> Please Don't Stop the Music --> My Drawers (Please let this happen) --> (oh of course it'll be Jungle Love, but still) Jerk Out or Get It Up or 777-9311. Cause of course they are going to do an at-least-four-song medley right? I hope the segment lasts 30 minutes.

i want them to play cool, the stick or get it up.

He does ads for a car dealer here in Atlanta. It's not too pretty.

who TOLD YOU women like men with no money?!

Morris & co. may not have played on the albums, but damn they were a shit hot live band from the get-go. Listening to live boots from '81 -'83 and they are killing it!

The Original 7ven album came out last week! Gotta get me a copy. More tweety pies should be talking about this track:

The Original 7ven are now The Orignal 6ix and some dude they'll be auditioning on guitar. Bummed that they couldn't hold it together for a full tour.

watched Graffiti Bridge for a larf the other night - Morris it's sole redeeming quality.

*sqwuak*

Dang. Jesse Johnson is one of the true highlights of Condensate.

The statement from the band made me sad: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/fdhq7s

His departure might have something to with he's playing with D'angelo on his upcoming tour...

I'm happy to hear Jesse has something on deck. It'd be cool to see him with D'Angelo but not as cool as The Time.

my friend grew up around where jerome lived. he said he used mow his lawn with a riding lawnmower wearing a 3 piece suit <3

damn, the ice cold as fuck morris day/e-40 joint EZ put me up on isn't on youtube

Only I can be pimpish in my ride.

Happy 30th Anniversary to the greatest album of ALL-TIME, What Time Is It?

Just typing that makes me feel incredibly old.

Seriously people. Show some love.

Happy 55th birthday, Morris.

respect

still dont get how rhianna was the partner for their grammys performance a few years back. the time are such a boys-will-be-boys kind of group, its a bit weird. though i didnt mind. and i liked them dancing together.

was listening to ice cream castles recently, and didnt totally get why a song called if the kid cant make you come (in favour of the kid, not against him), is on their album? surely that didnt fit with the film setting the kid and morris against each other? a strange oversight on princes part there.

anyone seen morris lately? im seeing him in a few weeks, with mark ronson, and erm, cee-lo.

The Time are awesome, the rest of us suck.

I'm reading the Duane Tudahl book on Purple Rain — I had no idea Morris Day is a kick-ass drummer along with everything else that's great about him.

Apparently Prince's estate has told Morris Day that he can no longer use the name "Morris Day & The Time" in any capacity. Check their Facebook page (I can't link to it) it's the latest post and publicly viewable with no account.
