Love
in the air
I consider myself a romantic. In fact I consider myself the romantic!
The top flower giving, sweet talking, dog. That is not to say I don't
realise the competition for my place, in fact I keep a very close eye
on what I consider to be those closest to my audacious loving capabilities
by constantly updating my chart.

It is a rare opportunity to asses the competition close up so when Isaac
Hayes came all the way to my turf, The Forum Kentish Town, to try and
push his way up my rankings I figured the least I could do was give him
a shot at the title. A SoulBrew trip was arranged and with tickets in
hand, weed in pocket & booze in belly Pablo, Birdman, & myself
stepped forth to receive the challenger.
Credit where credit's due, Isaac had the ladies smiling. Problem was he
had most of their fella's smiling too. We had unwittingly gate crashed
middle age lovers night. Having dusted off those leathers and squeezed
those old T-shirts over their no longer flat bellies we were surrounded
by frizzy perm mullets as they canoodled with their matching other halves
and sung those sweet lovers lyrics in the vane hope that some Isaac appeal
would rub off on them.
We
decided to put the SoulBrew cat amongst the pigeons and having got ripped
of for drinks made our way to the front and proceeded to roll large zoots
and shout to Isaac, encouraging him to give it some filth. We enticed
a "Hell Yeah!" out of him but little more, not a good start
from such a promising challenger. While still propping up the bottom end
of my chart you have to give the lad points for effort. The large gold
bling loose around his left arm, the African style white caftan, and the
presence on stage of 8 key boards did little to detract from the voice
& man what a voice! It even made Pablo weak in the knees.
While still fully confident in my abilities I have been left feeling that
perhaps I should stretch my vocal range a few octaves just to be sure
of that top spot for a little while yet!
