THE GREY ALBUM
I got a copy of Dangermouse's Grey Album the other day. The Grey Album is the lyrics from Jay Z's a cappela Black Album, mixed with the tunes from the Beatles' White Album. When I was a kid, my parents were hippies. I am pretty confident that I have heard every Beatles song written. In fact, I learned them and some others (Jethro Tull, Jefferson Airplane, etc.) like other kids learned "The Wheels of the Bus." I did not get into hip-hop until I got to college.
Thus, the Grey Album is an alternating flash back scene for me between my childhood, and my college years. They are both strangely hazey...

Haze can be good. Was it purple?
Hey Dave,
you are so lucky to have such great parents, who also had a lot of great music in the home:-o
You used to dance up a storm to those tunes:)
