Hi there, great article about the two guys that influenced my life with music more than anyone else.

the horns in “harder than you think” are gorgeous; is there any chance to find ot from which original they are ?
does anyone know or give me a hint where to search ?

@njw: i think in those phrases are some words, who can be spelled backwards to get to a new meaning, probably it is a citic to a special artist, probably rap artist who said or behaved somehow in a way that chuck had to tell him right.
he probably has real bigger lips than jagger (reggaj) or is just a guy who has a loud mouth…dunno….

i found the site the same way just to see what anyone was saying about PE’s best song in years. hadnt heard much but very moved by what you wrote and the positivity of the responses too. especially when most blogs and responses are filled with so much negatiity.

spell saggin backwards and he’ll leave it at that.

thanks charles.

Peace,

This cut is the sun on the horizon. I just downloaded it and was blown away by its relevance. I came across your site, in fact, because I was wondering if anyone felt the same way about it that I did. Brilliant writing, btw, and thanks.

This song is pure greatness. I get goosebumbs listening to it. What a vibe! PE is back - they never went away…

Hey, thanks y’all! I really love the cut, so it wasn’t hard to say really nice things about it. I’m just glad my adulation was coherent enough to get such warm feedback from folks I respect.

Living In Stereo is definitely the place to be…

Yeah! That’s good shit Charles. Love the acoustic guitar and horn section. And, we all appreciate these insightful posts (and tunes) at ‘Living in Stereo’ - best blog around!

Great cut and nice piece, Charles. I would have missed this one if it weren’t for your post.

Fine work, Charles, not that that’s unusual, but more people need to be talking about the issues you raise here.

Man, I sat here listening to this…the hairs on my arms and legs stood straight up, my eyes got a little damp, and a smile across my face.
This track is everything you claim. Of a piece with that hat trick they pulled off over fifteen years ago. Albums that were not just the high point of PE, but of hip-hop itself (that’s the geezer in me talking).
Feel like I wanna say more, but can’t find it. Good job, anyway.
