Bring back Motown please...

I'm sure the ladies love this man. With a name like Raphael Saadiq? 

Even a blind man knows that a woman will perk her ears at the sound of a certain name. Now, if you add in the fact that he is talented and (probably) good lookin'...well...

I'm sure he has got a few numbers in his mobile rolodex.

  I hear he has a new cd coming out that is a testament to the great Motown recordings. I even hear that he plays the bass and drums on this cd. On songs that he wrote him self. To me, that's talent. And that is what should be selling, right? Well, tell me something then, what the hell is going on with the r & b now? I try to listen to it and all I hear is a damn computer playing bits and pieces of shit that was written years ago!

Damn it, as far as I can tell, aint a song been written in about twenty years that we haven't heard thirty times already!! So come on Raphael, bring it on, man! You aint got no kinda competition out there anyway! Make these ears proud to be an American. You do know that being a blues guitar player in the states qualifies you with a world wide reputation as a being decent American, don't you? And we need more of these people, damn it. Specially the brothas...alright lemme get off this googly web before I regain my eyesight and see some stuff I don't wanna see...

here's the article, by the way...
