This story is a bit surreal.
My chick takes me to a travel agency, I thought I had just moved out to San Francisco to be with her, but I need to go to Chicago for a few days, suddenly she breaks my heart when she says "don't come back on my account" and sends me home on some ****ed up airline called Mark Air, yes Mark Air.
When I get to the airport it looks like a rap convention and I see a fat white dude in a warm up suit, who must be the manager or something. Over a bit of airline pizza I meet George Clinton’s guitarist, who in response to my query of whether he replaced the recently deceased Eddie Hazel, said “Yeah but in 1973” and then sort of politely asks me to leave him the f uck alone so he can eat.
So me and Clinton’s massive crew are all stuck on Mark Air, which to no ones surprise has no food on it and is way late. I’m sitting next to an older back up singer named Grady and ask him how they can possibly make money traveling with a bigger crew than MC Hammer used to roll with. Grady laughs and says “We don’t.”
Stuck in Denver and not allowed to exit during the stopover the hungry band start yelling "fried chicken" over and over again.
As we took off they treated us to some lovely a cappella versions of Little Bitty Pretty One and get this a surprisingly funky version of America’s Horse with No Name! I kept my eye out for George, but who knows what he looks like off stage.
