i had a chance to open a show for him about 10 years ago. it was at a dive bar and all the bands hung out and got lit before/after the show. we were all early 20s, and i didn't realize it but i guess at the time he was in his 60s. what a tough dude. he was really sweet to me and my friends and ended up putting on a hilarious, amazing show.

Herr Whiney's version is better than mine, but…here 'tis…

It's weird trying to write a sober, NPR-ish piece about BF…I have to talk about "incredible Fulk," where, due to an experiment, his dick becomes enormous every time a bitch call him a bastard, going on to "rip her pussy to bits" and then to ascend into outer space, like a tweedy NYT obit person. Same for "electronic pussysucker" : "I even fucked R2D2 from Star wars." Whereas Whiney can talk about him the way he talked about every damn thing. Whiney also got to talk about how innuhnet outrage addicts would lose their minds over his shit… i had something in there like that, but maybe NPR isn't the best place to make that point and it was excised. It turns out you have a lot of freedom at RS, so long as Jann Wenner doesn't care or has never heard of who yr talking about…
2 things that didn't make it into my contribution to the exploding "old music dudes are dying at a rate commensurate to the general publication alluvasudden…"
I coldcalled the successor label to TK Records in 1997, and not only spoke to Henry Stone but to Clarence Reid, who happened to be there. he told me he was going to record "when Doves Cum" cf Prince.
and when I met him when he was playing with the funk-rock supergroup with Norwood Fisher and some other guys at Wetlands in NYC a few weeks later, he told me that he knew that Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall had stayed in the same hotel room when shooting coming to america (as if the biggest comic actor in 80s america would share a hotel room with anyone other than a chick). Reid claimed that the maid noticed that when she came to clean the room, only one bed was made, which meant to CR that they were "butt buddies." He was insanely and very funnily angered by black guys who were more famous than he, vis-a-vis talking shit about MJ, kells and Prince.
