Yo yoyoyoyo, what’s up Phamily? Bossy here, providing y’all with a phoot stompin, ham hocking post about her Love:
That’s G. Love, but you can call him Garrett Dutton III. He’s the dope front man of G. Love & Special Sauce, and Bossy has the following sick story about G. Love to share with all her dawgs:
That’s Bossy rockin’ her late teens. At the time she was kickin’ it with her brother’s musician friends because they were jammin’ in black threads.
Also at the time, Bossy’s parents owned a crib at the beach, where her family would chill for the summer—with the exception of her father who had to cruise back to the city for work every monday, and then cruise back to the beach after his killer week.
But Bossy’s dad wasn’t road trippin’ solo, because he shared his ride with another guy from the ‘hood who was also busy dedicatin’ his weekday skillz to pay the bills.
And that guy had a son named Garrett, but Bossy didn’t pay that son any mind because even though he grew up one block from Bossy, he was just a kid on the scene.
A dozen years down the line, Bossy found herself in a slammin’ crowd, diggin’ a cool unknown cat named G.
“The band was bangin’,” Bossy told her dad on the phone the next day, still buzzin’ from G. Love’s off the chain performance.
“Why, don’t you know? That’s young Garrett,” Bossy’s dad said.
Bossy’s mind started spinnin’ and she felt like she was trippin’.
Bossy was amped to catch G. Love’s next gig, where she found her groove backstage and approached G. The vibes were thick, and Bossy hit up G for some neighborhood memories and then Bossy strolled away holding G’s digits on a piece of paper.
Bossy was amped. Until she remembered she was already hitched.
But it’s still kind of dope that Bossy knows G, even if he does talk like a surfer. Which is why Bossy wants to give a shout-out to G. Love & Special Sauce and their latest record which dropped yesterday.
It’s called Superhero Brother. Word out. Peace in the Middle East.

June 25, 2008 at 12:05 pmI had something clever to say but got totally distracted by the sparkley pony that just appeared in the google ad.
I have google ads too and I NEVER get sparkley ponies, what’s up with that!
(And good luck to G. Love and Special Sauce)
V says
June 25, 2008 at 12:07 pmI like Bossy. I like G. Love. AND I Like Cold Beverages. Word. From a mother.
Andrea's Sweet Life says
June 25, 2008 at 12:23 pmIt’s wicked cool of Bossy to bring G Love & The Sauce to the masses, where the masses = Bossy’s adoring readers.
And also, do you still think of him as little?
BOSSY says
June 25, 2008 at 12:25 pmDoes Bossy still think of him as little? Um, a resounding No.
Melanie BeanPaste says
June 25, 2008 at 12:29 pmOh, man! I LOVED G. Love & Special Sauce in college. And now I need to get out my old tunes and chillax for a spell, brah.
Peace.
Lynne says
June 25, 2008 at 12:29 pmBossy is famous on so many levels. I’m impressed daily. She’s funny too.
Laura says

Dana V. says
June 25, 2008 at 12:35 pmYOU KNOW G. LOVE?! I love g. love. Love!
BOSSY says
June 25, 2008 at 12:36 pmThe moral of the story is: Hug a Neighborhood Kid today. And make them promise their hand in marriage.
andrea says
June 25, 2008 at 12:38 pmDope! You are just cooler by the day!
Howard says
June 25, 2008 at 12:40 pmWow, I’m so totally one degree away from G. Love now! Score.
Jen M says

Andria and Co. says

Angela says
June 25, 2008 at 1:00 pmI can’t even describe how much my 1994 was improved by G. Love. Seriously.
sonrie says

Tina says
June 25, 2008 at 1:06 pmTheir keyboardist grew up across the street from us (his parents still live there). I’ve never heard them, but I’m going to have to listen now. I’m so old. Sigh.
Von says

Deeples says
June 25, 2008 at 1:10 pmOoooooh! I’m so jealous! I lerve me some G.Love and the Special Sauce. My hubs and I try to catch him whenever he some to First Ave in Minneapolis. Jealous! Jealous!
It’s so lucky to be bossy!
Foolery says
June 25, 2008 at 1:24 pmBossy, I am only a few months older than you, but you’re obviously 23. How can this be? I have never heard of G. Love, and, while I have heard of Special Sauce in its various incarnations, I was not aware that it made noise, much less music.
Guess I’ll be taking the Jazzy Scooter down to the local record store today.
KD @ A Bit Squirrelly says
June 25, 2008 at 1:24 pmUmm He is so cute. And you were lookin’ hottttttt! I have to check him out now!
Shannon says

vicki says
June 25, 2008 at 1:33 pmThis is my first comment, but I’ve been reading your blog since you started your road trip, and as a mom that lives on the road in a freaking schoolbus with her family of five, I just have to ask..Track #11…you got the answer?
I’m buying the CD. I love it! Thanks! peace, Love and Happiness!

Peg says
June 25, 2008 at 1:38 pmYo man Garrett been hangin’ with dem at Gizoogle.com.
Emily R says
June 25, 2008 at 1:38 pmYou know G.Love?! He’s really hott, and all of a sudden I feel 19 again. That’s not a good age to feel. I was stupid then. But G. Love is HOTT.
Pamela says
June 25, 2008 at 1:38 pmOh My Sweet Lord I LOVE G LOVE. And the special sauce, yeah, ‘cuz he’s my baby. My baby my baby and of course I’d do anything for him…
There’s just so much to Bossy. Screw Kevin Bacon, we should all play Six Degrees of Separation of Bossy.
Kristy - Where's My Damn Answer says
June 25, 2008 at 1:39 pm:: adds it to my i-tunes buying list ::
Love this entry … especially the hot photo of him with the basketball.
marchelle says
June 25, 2008 at 1:42 pmBOSSY that is whack, yo.
Caroline says
June 25, 2008 at 1:46 pmWhat a smooth and groovy sound, Bossy! Instant fan here. Thanks for the heads-up.
Tracy Lynn says
June 25, 2008 at 1:49 pmDude,V stole my comment!
I always had a suspicion that I was unoriginal.
jp says
June 25, 2008 at 1:50 pm“Peace in The Middle East”
Thats some funny stuff!
Ree (the Other one) says
June 25, 2008 at 1:52 pmAnd Bossy continues to amaze me with her life.
Dara says
June 25, 2008 at 1:58 pmBossy, why come yous is all up in mys boyfriends? I was willing to let Cusack slide like, but you think I’m is not afraid to mess up my hair? Don’t make me come up outta here and set yous straight.
just saying. peace out, bish.
Adorable Girlfriend says
June 25, 2008 at 2:04 pmAG would like to get in on those digits!!!!
Windy says
June 25, 2008 at 2:11 pmBy the looks of that 2nd photo I don’t think of him as “little” either! I touched his shoulder the last time he was in Detroit and thought I was really cool. Now I know I’m nothing compared to Bossy…. Oh, and can I have those dizigits?
wrh says
June 25, 2008 at 2:15 pmBossy’s got sauce, but your baby ain’t sweet like mine.
Jenn @ Juggling Life says
June 25, 2008 at 2:20 pmI’m lookin at the neighborhood boys around here–not seeing the same outcome, sadly.
JCK says
June 25, 2008 at 2:23 pmI hope you let drop that you are BOSSY. Word.
Fairly Odd Mother says
June 25, 2008 at 2:30 pmShoot, everyone’s used the song references I know! I dragged my sorry ass to see Dave Matthews (who I hate) JUST to see G Love and, wouldn’t it figure, we missed his opening act and I had to endure the headliner. Ain’t enough beer to make that ok.
MarathonMom says
June 25, 2008 at 2:42 pmBossy is such a coogah!
balconygal says
June 25, 2008 at 2:46 pmEven my 2 year old can sing to G Love…I don’t even mind if, while singing “basketball” they scream at the top of their lungs (the 2 & 3 year old), “all the junkies on the sidelines smokin’ reefer keep sayin’…” because that song is our theme song around here. I’d have it as the theme song on my blog if 1) I knew how to put audio up there and 2) if I didn’t hate when music starts on a site. Oh, and in college when asked what band I would tour with as the sound engineer, I picked G. Love and the Special Sauce. Sigh. Lucky.
Sarah @ Ordinary Days says
June 25, 2008 at 2:53 pmGive me some lovin’ early in the mornin’
I just woke up with this appetite
Come on, give me love
In the mornin’ light
LOVE that song! Wanna give G my digits? Oh crap, I’m married too.
Carley says
June 25, 2008 at 3:03 pmSo jealous that Bossy knows G. Love. He definitely rocks. I’m unhitched … maybe Bossy would like to set me up on a date with him?
ms picket to you says
June 25, 2008 at 3:19 pmyum. Yum. YUM.
Keeper of the Catnip says
June 25, 2008 at 3:47 pmGarrett’s success was inevitable…. as a child he could make bunny silhouettes while playing basketball with a (broken) leg.
CourtneyRyan369 says
June 25, 2008 at 3:53 pmNO Flippin way…
I’ve spent hours listening to him.
Bossy, you become more and more my hero every day. In fact, I’m adding that to my myspace page now.
mr.lootiatto says
June 25, 2008 at 4:19 pmNow Bossy, you’ve got to tell the 1/2 degree of seperation with Kevin Bacon.
Lisa says
June 25, 2008 at 4:32 pmG. Love is a white boy from the ‘burbs? Next you’ll be tellimg me that Bossy is a housewife. WHAT?
Shayera says
June 25, 2008 at 5:46 pmYou made me lols like mad yo! (Does that make any sense as a sentence?)
Tasha says
June 25, 2008 at 5:57 pmUm, Tasha is NOT married, but could be, if Bossy would just hook her up with G. Love’s number…
Rhi says
June 25, 2008 at 6:03 pmHe is cute and would look cute with a nice girl like me.
Kelley says
June 25, 2008 at 6:44 pmdayum, I should never read the comments cause I just spent the last couple of minutes looking for the sparkly freaking pony…
So what was I gunna say? Yeah, I dunno. So you know Ali G? That was his name right? Kenny G. Some G dude that will never come to Australia even if he makes it HUGE worldwide cause we just don’t count.
Bitter much? Hey Madonna! Bite me! And all my gay boys are refusing to cut hair and shit now you ain’t coming…
tj says
June 25, 2008 at 7:33 pm…Totally. ;o)
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
June 25, 2008 at 8:10 pmThe fact that Bossy can admire someone who is also referred to as Special Sauce, and there is nary a reference to “boyfriend” is incredible.
Cheri @ Blog This Mom! says
June 25, 2008 at 9:22 pmBossy the Pimp. Pimpin’ for G. Cool.
TheTrashyOne says
June 25, 2008 at 9:24 pmO.M.G.
Hook a flygirl up, yo.
caren says
June 25, 2008 at 10:03 pmyou’re damn funny! i have to say that in college my FAVORITE jam was “my baby’s got sauce”. i never realized that they were as big as they are until recently i was in a coworkers car looking through their ipod and i saw g love in their ipod!

barefoot gypsy says
June 25, 2008 at 10:34 pmPLEASE start twittering Bossy, I want a piece of you all day long. That didn’t sound right . . .
Isle Dance says
June 25, 2008 at 11:54 pmOMG, that’s hysterical. He looks like he must have been in diapers back then. I can say this because I’m 39. And I’m pretty sure I changed his diapers. I hate it when that happens.
www.startswithanx.com says
June 26, 2008 at 12:17 amOh shit, son! (I’m just following your lead here.) My bf loves him but I have no clue who he is, other than the dude you used to ignore during your beach house lounging days, which by the way, makes you one lucky biotch.
David says
June 26, 2008 at 1:01 amI looked all over the web but couldn’t find a translation engine for whatever language you were speaking in that post. I think it was about music. But I’m not sure.
William says
June 26, 2008 at 7:58 amI love me some G love. and Now I feel like having some “Cold Beverages” wih some “Astronauts” and some “Rodeo Clowns” and some “Bossy”. (Okay I threw the last one in because I think G should write a song about you.
carolyn says
June 26, 2008 at 10:12 amBossy has such snizzle.

Ellie says

davido says
June 26, 2008 at 2:04 pmI didn’t think it was possible, but Bossy just got more cool points!
