COMMENTS

  • You can tell when Bobby’s a little nervous cause his voice sounds higher than normal.

  • He says he was the first person to interview Erykah Badu. Could well be true. But then, I knew her when she was the regular lunch barista at the old Grinders on lower Greenville. I’d wonder why this smart, good-looking young woman was even there…

    Only learned later, after she became Badu, of course, that she was serving coffee and sandwiches until her first album came out …

    Now I wonder what she thought of the crappy music that was often playing on the sound system.
