On this day in 1988, Living Colour released their debut "Vivid" - one of my favorite albums of all time. From the opening riff of "Cult of Personality" I knew Vernon Reid was something different and I wanted to learn how to do what he did with a guitar. I can't figure him out. I wanna be like him when I grow up. There's just an underlying funk to everything they ever did.
Lesser know great song from that album - warning: very evocative imagery. "Funny Vibe"
It really came out live. "Desperate people". And they still got it.
