I saw him in concert with MC Hammer. Times like this I can't believe I was a music major. sigh...
I am at peace with my inner nerd. Amen Brotha.
If I'm not mistaken, which I probably am, I believe this break also appears in Ben Folds Five's "Song for the Dumped" from 1997. Ok, I'm done pretending I know what I'm talking about.
