588.0. "Bobby Brown" by HUNEY::MACHIN () Tue Jan 30 1990 14:43

    On the strength of many many reports of Bobby Brown being the most
    crucial person alive, I bought a record of his.
    
    Unfortunately, I accidentally bought the 'Dancing' remix collection.
    I think beneath the banal sampled stuttering there is some good stuff
    -- I'll swap the record for a 'real' album asap.
    
    Why do they ruin good tunes by resampling and stretching a great 3
    minute idea into an orgy of hi-tech overproduction? I suspect it's the
    record company cashing in while the hype is alive.
    
    Anyway, I was surprised there wansn't a topic on this bloke.
    So now there is.

    O.k., I admit it - I do like some of his music. Of course, I've
    only heard "some" of his music. But that's not why I replied.
    I have a friend who used to be the Security Director for one of
    the more high class hotels in Boston. Anyway's, Bobby Brown was
    staying there while he was in town (he had a whole floor), and he
    was "throwing' a party - very loud and disrupting otther guest's
    staying there. It was my friends enviable(sp) task of asking Mr.
    Brown to please keep it down (after all it was three o'clock in
    the morning). So my friend say's "could you please keep it down"
    and the such. Bobby Brown turns to look him directly in the eye
    (which meant he was looking up - my friends 6'2") and says "Don't
    you know WHO I AM - I'M BOBBY BROWN!". So, my friend looked at him
    and said " big deal - you still gotta turn the music down". Mr.
    Brown was a bit more than tiffed from what my friend said - but
    he did turn the music down.
