The only people that have ever asked me to turn down were sound men in $hit hole clubs ...
I would always tell them sure , I will turn my amp down as soon as I plug the amp into the wall socket and turn it on .
Then I would plug it in , dime it and ask them ...Hows this ? is this any better ?
Rodney was in a class all his own
he was easy to spot because he used to drive around NYC all the time in a red convertible
I was working at Colony Records in NYC back in the day and he came in one night and asked me about how his record Rapping Rodney was doing ...
It was kinda a strange thing to be standing there talking with him while he stood there right next to the life sized cardboard cut out of himself holding the boom box
