When thinking of music to which I wish I’d been conceived, I’d like to imagine my parents huddled in the backseat of my old man’s car, doing the deed to bands like The Animals, Dylan, Hendrix, better yet, James Brown.
Me being that funky little seed, soul-dancing against young love’s rushed and anxious current, my own little Mr. Dynamite, climbing the Billboard Hot 100 Chart of conception with all my stripped-down interlocking life rhythms perfectly timed and tuned with my mama’s ever-bopping Janis Joplin heart.
