1989

1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got soul
(Brothers and sisters hey)
Listen if you're missin' y'all

1989 - the year of the Pistons. The Motor City Bad Boys win it all.
Sound of the funky ball-player.

A 1989 revolution. "The revolution will not be televised." Computerized? A $9,000 Radio Shack computer. A lightening fast 20 mhz. The Microwave? Move over. Here comes Tandy at the point. Motor Sity Doss.

1989 Detroit.

I'm saying nice things all the time....latest project: Digital Detroit. Technology in the bridge (TAKE IT TO THE BRIDGE), building (Renaissance Center), and computers (from Tandy to Compuware). Technology in dates (hip hop pedagogy).

1989 Gainesville, Florida. Load up that trailer. I'm dropping out... the number another summer...get down/drop out.

More?
