Betty Davis - 70s Blues
“The former wife of Miles Davis, Betty Mabry Davis, is perhaps the only woman in the world who could rightfully have the following legent tatooed across her rear: THIS ASS INVENTED FUSION.”
This woman was bad. Like the kind of bad that you want to be like. Considering that I just learned about her yesterday (shame on me), I’m new to all the drama that she caused. Apparently she cheated on Miles Davis with Jimi Hendrix… What better mix right? This journey of getting to know her started when I was asked what this post should be about, what type of music was I in the mood for. I felt like some blues/jazz/funk. No better choice of words. I think it was nailed when this song was dropped in my lap. I love the 70s a lot, and wished I was apart of all the shennanigans. I mean, back then you had a reason for fucking around, and being fucked up in the head. Or no, rather just having a good time. You lose control, and you lose yourself in the music and the culture. Today I’m trying to start up another revolution as such. I don’t know how or where I’m starting, but it’s started already in my head. There’s no reason that we can’t look back and say “man, those crazy 2000s…”. Although that doesn’t sound quite as fun as saying those “crazy 60s”. Hmm.. maybe I’ll give it a name period.
Betty was talking about the blues taking over, and she has just lost control. That’s about the gyst of the song. And that’s okay with me. Let something take you over today. I think it’s healthy.
Sorry no lyrics, but do I ever have lyrics?
