In the middle of our free-jazz cover of Radiohead's "National Anthem," we merged into "Superfreak" spontaneously. It was a beautiful moment. It triggered more breakdancing than I suspect has been seen in Idaho for many years. With Rick gone, there's now a little piece of superfreak in all of us. To paraphrase Dave Chappelle, "We're all Rick James, bitch."
