Interlude 1 - Fishbone

Norwood Fisher on bass

Fish Fisher on drums

Angelo Moore on vocals and saxophone

Walter Kibby on vocals and trumpet

John Bigham on guitar

After being released from the eight-year clutches

Of Massah Corporate’s Plantation/Slavery Compound

Where the five remaining Fishbone Soldiers

Undergo, but endure, contractual

Yet cruel, mind-riddling, ruthless

Insensitive, suppressing

Disrespectful techniques of torture

Only a monkey infected with Ebola Zaire

Would be subject to

The slammer, the cube, whew!

May I point out to the unaware

That all corporates are not slave massahs

But in this case, we got a real rotten

Good ole boy this time

Chim-Chim, the metaphorical monkey

Being held in this case

Hostage for God’s sakes, by Massah Corporate

And his hooded, high-class, wimp-simp, yup-yup clan

Was determined to expand

Past the spandex-like confines

Of a horrifying contractual nutt-lock

(people screaming, Walter Kibby singing 'Riot')

Even though Chim-Chim was lacking knowledge

In Guerrilla Marketing and Ninja Promotion

Chim-Chim possessed Underground Street Smarts

And a bad-ass plethora of musical and lyrical

Messages, techniques, abilities, and styles

All things were possible

Full of rage, bad-ass rage

Brought on by broken promises of grandeur

Success, and the reality of the keeper’s betrayal

Chim-Chim could be restrained no longer
