Ok so the title of this post is a bit exaggerated but it isn't far from the truth. During her visit to "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon", ?uest Love and his Roots band played a small portion of Fishbone's 1985 track "Lyin' Ass Bitch" for Michele Bachmann's entrance music and many of her supporters and non supporters thought they went too far. Now hardcore Bachmannites are tossing death threats at ?uest Love and naturally he regrets pissing off the crazies who in a nut shell, wants his head on a platter including the fro and pick. Pitchfork caught up with the musical mind to get the deetz on the incident as well as the new Roots album "Undun"
It wasn't like a chess move where you have to think 12 steps ahead; you're just, like, "Fuck, all right, I'm gonna do it," in a kamikaze-type way. And I really didn't think about how it could be perceived as a misogynist swipe-- it didn't hit me until my [Twitter] timeline started showing up that it was seen that way. I was like, "Fuck, I forgot 'bitch' is actually in the title."[Pitchfork]
