And cascading down the musical segues we go. When I was looking up the details for Devo’s song “Girl U Want” and typing out the post yesterday, I kept singing the song over and over in my head. Eventually, however, Aretha Franklin decided to commandeer the party and started singing, “What you want, baby, I got it. What you need, do you know I got it?” That opening line then led to me thinking about Ma$e, which brings us to the present.
