The Big Man Under the Afro, and His Music

Questlove Publishes His Memoir, ‘Mo’ Meta Blues’

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/26/bo...lues.html?_r=0

It’s a proper memoir in the sense that it eventually gets his story told, all 42 years of it thus far.

But it’s more about the music that’s pricked up his ears, the stuff that’s made him the tastemaker that he is. The end pages on my copy are crammed with song titles; they resemble the back of a popular girl’s senior yearbook.

I suspect I’m going to be listening to more Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Prince, the Isley Brothers, Rufus, Public Enemy and D’Angelo than I have for a long time.
