Back in the spring of 94 I wrote a letter to Cactus asking if there was a specific inspiration behind Contact. A few months later in my mailbox I discovered a postcard that was rolled up with a rubberband around it. Opening it revealed a picture of a man wearing a bib and holding a book with a huge bite taken out of it. On the written side? "That car would be a silver 1983 Nissan Sentra hatchback. People tell me to sell it but I love it."
I don't usually think of Contact as a funk jamming song. However, I was unexpectedly surprised with how strong the Contact Jam was on 20111228 at MSG. That version gave me goosebumps and made me take notice immediately.
