Lost Lyrics
A reader in Sioux Falls, South Dakota writes me:

Dear Dr. Fabulous:
I think I read somewhere that you once wrote lyrics for Madlib. Did they ever appear on any of his albums?

It is true. I wrote for Madvillian. But Madlib discarded my rhymes. Here's a taste of what ended up on the cutting room floor:

Sat down for one of my all time beers
Tuned into my favorite All in the Family
Yo! Norman Lear.
That's one high cat
Some Blue Note on the box
Old Yeller, Lou Donaldson, Dingbat!
Kicking it like Grover stomping on Big Bird
While eating some cream cheese and lox
Yo. Drinkin' it real: Dogfish and Bell's
See you later Alligator
Like Meatloaf
I'm kickin' it like a bat out of hell.
