Acman, the reason I remember that interview is because Horace was so funny, and at the same time articulate. The bassist was tired of repeating "Bing, Bong, Bang" but Horace couldn't live without Bing, Bong, Bang.
They both had a good point, and as I recall they had an amicable split. I see you can understand something like that.
I didn't realize how essential those bass lines were in the string of hits Horace had. I wish I could point them out but I can't; maybe you or Frogman could find the repetitive bass lines in Horace's early string of hits.
