Over the confused noise of the crowd, the band strikes up. A fat, menacing bass line snakes forth, then a team of three -- no, wait, there are four -- conga players, the brass section of the Boston Pops, headed by the Uptown Horns, Yo-Yo Ma leading a string section made up of volunteers from the New York Philharmonic, and an electric rhythm section made up of former members of Parliament, this whole mighty ensemble launches into Curtis Mayfield's 1970 hit "Don't Worry (If There's a Hell Below, We're All Going To Go)."
I gotta admit, that sounds like a fun scene. I’m picturing Bootsy Collins sporting giant star-shaped sunglasses and 12-inch platform shoes.
Needs Junior Brown on guitar and Zach de la Rocha on vocals.
