34. "but for berry gordy, james jamerson would be a hopeless drunk." In response to In response to 27
a talented drunk, sure... but a drunk nevertheless.
certainly not the genius he is hailed as now.
he would be a genius plucking away on a guitar in a garage that ppl made fun of and scoffed.
he was a genius when he played the bass line to What's going on while laying on his back, drunk off his ass.
but for berry gordy, he would STILL be a genius. but if he rambled to you about how he was a genius, most ppl would say he "lacked execution", and was a joke.
geniuses are only recognized as geniuses if they have benefactors. but their genius (and the drawbacks that come with having a genius mind) often go unrecognzied.
