For Writers
Ever since that one phone company came out with the “KRAZR” to follow up their “RAZR,” I’ve been wondering if someone in their marketing department is a James Brown fan:
Get down with my woman, that ain’t right
You hollarin’ and cussin’, you wanna fight
Don’t do me no darn favor,
I don’t know karate, but I know KA-RAZor
It’s one of the top three badass lyrics of all time. As a writer, do you think you could create a character badass enough to pull off a line like “I don’t know karate, but I know ka-razor”?
