The Video of the Week: Fishbone | Freddie's Dead (Ending June 25th, 2011)
Whats Happening Party People!
The significant sounds of alternative rock/funk band Fishbone was on the mind of our writer A. Scott Galloway folks and he wanted to drop this piece of 'fish' in hot grease! Drift back with us to the cut, "Freddie's Dead" and check out the music video below! The single can be found off their classic 1988 album, "Truth And Soul"! It is our new video of the week (ending June 25th, 2011)!

I wanted to share Fishbone's hopped up version of Curtis Mayfield's classic from the "Superfly" soundtrack for two reasons.
1. It's a brilliant funk-rock interpretation musically that also visually hammered home Curtis's concept in the importance of a community to love ALL of its folks, even everyday people like "Fat Freddie" on the corner.
Second, the Los Angeles Times Magazine in its June 5 issue picked 40 of the best bands across stylistic lines that originated from Los Angeles since the 60s - from The Eagles and Los Lobos to WAR and The Mothers of Invention - but Fishbone was not among them. I wanted to say "in your face" with one electrifying reason why that was a grave mistake.
Rock on..."Party at Ground Zero," people!!
