.... Hi. I'm Bridgette Harrington and I'm here to interview Morris Day, lead singer of THE TIME.
|
.... Mr. Day, How are you?
|
|
Need you ask?
|
|
.... I'll take it that you're fine.
|
|
Yes, I've been told that.
|
|
.... Oh, OK. Tell me. Are you really so cool?
|
|
Is money green?
|
|
.... When did you first notice your coolness?
|
|
I didn't. The doctor did.
|
You see, most people were born in birthday suits. I was born in a zute suit.
|
|
.... You got to be joking.
|
|
Baby, I ain't got time for jokes. What time is it anyway?
|
|
.... It's time for us to continue this interview.
|
.... How does THE TIME go about generating such a funky sound?
|
|
Pardon me. I know you didn't say "funk.".
|
|
.... Well?
|
|
Let me just say one thing. Funk is dead.
|
Funk is something you can learn in school and ain't nothing funky about being cool, ... Grace.
|
|
.... OK, but my name is Bridgette.
|
|
Oh I'm sorry, ... Grace.
|
|
.... It seems your image has a lot to do with your approch to music.
|
.... Your clothes for example.
|
|
My clothes, fuck. Hold it.
|
Let me, let let me just say something to all the fellas out there.
|
Take off them blue jeans and them "New Wave" clothes and go get you some "Baggies."
|
It's about the freedom, right?
|
In other words, stay at the hotel with the biggest ballroom.
|
Don't get me wrong. Some of my best friends wear blue jeans.
|
I'm just not ever seen them in it.
|
What time is it?
|
|
.... Why are you concerned with the time?
|
|
'Cause I got somewhere to go.
|
|
.... Where's that?
|
|
To the Cork, Johnny.
|
|
.... I told you my name is Bridgette.
|
|
Sorry, Nella.
|
|
.... I don't think I like you at all.
|
.... Is there anything else you would like to say before we close this interview?
|
|
Yes!!!!
|
What's your phone number?
|
|
.... Uuh! - 7..., 7..., 7..., 9..., 3..., 1..., 1.
|
|
Ain't nobody bad like me?
