A style of music found at the intersection of jazz,funk,and rock.The golden age for this music was 1975 to about 1982.Most of the stars of the style just dabbled before going on to/back to that which paid the bills.As a
sub-genre it lacked a huge following...but it's influence can still be heard in music today.Usually as a sample.

IF YOU'RE A STRAIGHT MAN:
1)Out and about with one woman...RESPECT.
2)Out and about with two women...MUCH RESPECT.
(Quick note:This scenario was more likely to happen
in days gone by.(the 70's)Nowadays...to have two
women out for fun...then back to the pad for more
fun...is exceedingly rare.Unless they're "proffessionals".
Which by the way is not a bad thing in itself.
3)Out and about with three women...YOU'RE FEMME GAY.
Nothing wrong with that...but if you're not...one can
assume the worst case scenario...that you are deemed
SAFE and NON-THREATENING.

Guy 2:"No love.He's at the ass end of the the RULE OF 123.
