'80s Fuzak - it's a hell of a drug.

Complaining about these guys being absurd is like complaining about opera having implausible plots. Just let yourself love it.

Lol, I think that guy is playing a Ken Smith.

After further review, a Yamaha.

Oh, I get it. This was just the apex of bad fusion to me is all, where the cheese factor was cranked up to a million. I liked the cooler, funkier '80s fusion, like Scofield.

Jonas Hellborg put out a cool record on Axiom. Here's an awesome duet between him and Tony Williams (plus strings).

I would love to see Ken Marino try to recreate it.

If anyone could nail it, it's Ken. It already looks like it's pulled from a State sketch.

any relation to Towelette Patitucci?
