Before Big John died...I played him the Money Jungle cut off of this CD. His reaction was exactly what mine was... WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO MY MUSIC. Turns out Patton, Ron Carter and Waits cut the track and left. Afterwards they put the fuckin' rap on it and ruined it. Patton was pissed beyond words.
I'll stand by my vehemence. and even put them into a litre of Coke for fun.
Tried again to gain some of what JS took here and do see that point as this being contemporary, thoughtful to the tune and all and that if a handful of kids, who probably have no way to even hear this record, go out and pick up 'Gotta Good Thing Goin'', 'Blue Planet Man' or some such then the message has been heard and all is good. But the song is still unlistenable keerap to this now sounding like an old fart who is still not quite that old as to have them babies sneak out without forethought ... (my posts are another story)
