One of Bo's last interviews before his death, am interview on some radio station is simply hilarious and priceless (as such was he as a person and musician). He's carrying on about how freaky the whole wireless age is to him and going on about how he feels all women are crazy and such. But speaks of such things with such practicality and humor that it isn't offensive sounding whatsoever. The greatest.

Thanks for playing that calypso number an hour ago. I'd been in the mood for calypso since catching a DJ on 91.5 (maybe WNYE, maybe not, in Sussex Co.
