EFD--did you see the Alex Patsavas quote about the "prequel" to Sex and the City (she's the music supervisor)--she said she researched a lot of college radio station playlists from the early 1980's in New York---sounds like you should send her some airchecks (I doubt she'll be playing any noise the show however)

Renee Scroggins drives an MTA bus . it's real for the girls from the south bx.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:46pm
G:

@og: in case people don't know --

"On May 9, 2007, ESG drummer Valerie Scroggins was indicted by a Brooklyn grand jury on charges of falsely claiming more than $13,000 in workers' compensation payments. Scroggins, then working as a bus driver for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York), told them that she suffered a shoulder injury in September 2006. In November 2006, Scroggins went on tour with ESG, where an MTA investigator filmed her playing "drums for an hour or more and on every song the band played, doing things very similar to actions she told her employers she could not perform," according to the Brooklyn DA's press release. Scroggins asserts that her injury is legitimate and that she could not safely drive a bus."

see also the song;s wiki entry:

"The song has a persistent urban legend. During an instrumental portion of the song, a high-pitched scream is heard (between 1:24 and 1:28 on the single version, or between 2:32 and 2:36 on the album version); this was Billy Beck, but according to the most common legend, it was the voice of an individual being murdered live while the tape was rolling. The "victim's" identity varies greatly depending on the version..."

i initially became aware of the Ohio Players via a white-boy garage funk band called Royal Crescent Mob. The singer from Royal C mob had mowed Sugarfoot's lawn when he was a kid. Or mAybe it was another member of the OPs. But that's how i remember the story.
