#446 The Steviewondermobile- Toure
We are in Toure’s invented municipality, Soul City. “Soul
City was a place where God entered through the speakers and love was measured
in decibles.” There were at least twenty-five verified religions in Soul City,
all based on Soul music of course.
Huggy Bear Jackson was a Stevie-ite (as were his buddies
Mojo, Boozoo, and Groovy Lou) and built a mobile shrine to his idol. The
vehicle that cruised Freedom Street or Funky Boulevard would break down all the
time, couldn’t go more than twenty five and guzzled gas, but it had a kickin’
sound system that would only play Stevie Wonder. It was rigged so that any
other music was put in, it would be immediately spit out. Now, That’s musical
devotion!
This collection is going to be a blast!
“But it was Huggy Bear’s world and in Huggy Bear’s world the
music could never die. So he sat in the Steveiewondermobile, stuck at the
corner of Freedom and Rhythm, chilling with Groovy Lou and Boozoo to the
soaring sounds of Stevie’s seamless soul stew and the world he saw with his so
wonderfully clear inner vision.”
