And another.. We're at that age...
Maurice White has jumped onto the Mothership...
I love Earth, Wind, and Fire...
The song above is one of my all time favorite songs. It's message is beautiful, and it gets the booty moving!
My brother really introduced me to their music in the late 1970's, before I was even in school. I remember seeing performances on various TV shows and whenever they came on the radio he'd demand it louder. As I got older and really got into music and learned more about funk and soul these guys were getting a lot of play on my tape deck, them eventually CD player.
My brother would mention this animated movie they were part of called "Rock and Rule" that I had very faint memories of. I didn't really remember them as part of it. I did remember very well Lou Reed, Debbie Harry, and Iggy Pop though.
The movie kind of became a forgotten gem, except by people of a certain age, and back in the mid-part of the last decade it was finally released to DVD. I got it the day it came out. And sure as anything... EWF had a song in it...
The movie is way more adult than I had remembered when I was 8 years old seeing it...
And it's awesome.
Sweet dreams Mr. White.
And thank you for the art, the music, the joy.
