George and I first got the tape of Buddy's famous rants at his band, it was back in the day, back when the tape was fresh off the bus. It was the mid-80s if I remember right. I remember sitting at my Mac 512K-E transcribing every word.
I made a full transcript. Listening now, I know it by heart. We even made a dance mix of our own. I only wish I still had all that. Makes Ballmer look sane.
We still quote from the Buddy tapes at least once a week.
Go have a listen--let me know how he compares to your boss. ;-)
