Gadget Freak

My co-worker and friend Terance received some well-deserved recognition from the Atlanta Post today. The opening line...

Calling someone a ‘freak’ isn’t generally a compliment, but if you called Terance Thatch a ‘gadget freak’ he wouldn’t even be mad.

...inspired one of my signature, hasty rewrites of a classic jam. (Apologies to Rick James, bitch):

He’s a very 2K boy, the kind who’s Facebook friends with mama
He will always let you hear what’s “now” (once you read up on his tweets)
He likes the toys in his hand, he says the iPad is amazing
When he makes his moves to new grooves in real-time
He Facebooks every step indeed

That boy is nerdy hip now (the boy’s a gadget freak)
The kind of boy you read about (in mobile marketing e-zines)
That boy’s way more than 2K (the boy’s a gadget freak)
I’m really glad I follow him (every time he tweets)
He’s on point, he’s on point, the dude is on point with things, yeaaaaah, he-he-HEH!
