with regard to his references to Chic and Queen.

"Skate, Rock, Roll, Bounce" is clearly an attempt to play Chic's "Good Times" with a synth-bass (just as Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" was an adaptation of "Good Times" also)

Unfortunately, AD is unable to make a coherent point and he kept referring to the wrong Chic songs, talking about "Le Chic" (ie "Le Freak") and "I Want Your Love," neither of which has anything to do with Vaughan Mason's record.

(Also, it's tough to have a conversation with AD because of his incessant editing. By the time you reply to him, he's changed the post to say something completely different. So you edited to respond to his updated post and by the time you hit "Post message" he's changed his post 2 more times.)

Anyway... the point still stands. Even if Vaughan bit the bassline, the fact that he played it on a keyboard is what created the paradigm I was referring to.
