TR OH EIGHT             
                                          
                         
                                          
              THE SMOOTH BOY!             
 ROLAND   BOTIQUE  REMAKE  OF  THE  GREAT 
           EIGHT OH EIGHT           
             FROM THE EIGHTIES            
                                          
 "IT CAME  TO ME IN A  DREAM" AS THEY SAY 
 AND  I  THOUGHT  ABOUT  HOW  DREAMS  ARE 
 MADE, AND THE  RIGHT ANSWER IS THAT  YOU 
 HAVE  WHATEVER YOU  HAVE, SOMETHING AKIN 
 TO   DRIED   HERBS   (THOSE   ARE   YOUR 
    THOUGHTS) ADDING HOT WATER (THAT'S    
 SLEEP  BABY)  MAKING AT LAST  THE TEA... 
                                          
 BUT THE REAL  DIAMONDS ARE RECLUSIVE AND 
 WILL NOT  APPEAR  UNTIL  YOU  GIVE  THEM 
 WHAT THEY  WANT - A REALLY  REALLY CRISP 
 AND SMOOTH EIGHT OH EIGHT TRANSMISSION,  
 HIHATS OR NO HIHATS, KICK WITH  THE LONG 
 DECAY  AND  THE  TOMS, THE  BEP BEP BOP, 
 BAP,   A  QUIESCENT  SNARE...   A  CRISP 
           BITE... COWBELL....?           
                                          
 AND  THATS  WHY  YOU  NEED  THE   REMAKE 
 BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL ONE IS  IN A MUSEUM 
 GUARDED BY ARMED MEN SWORN TO THE CAUSE. 
 PLUS, BEING A BOTIQUE, THE NEW  ONE RUNS 
              ON AA BATTERIES
