Strawberry Letter 23 by The Brothers Johnson is one of my funky favorite songs of all time. Produced by the legendary Quincy Jones & written by Shugie Otis, who originally recorded the song in 1971, six years before The Brothers Johnson’s version.

Louis E. Johnson, known as Louis “Thunder Thumbs” Johnson and half of The Brothers Johnson with brother George “Lightnin’ Licks” Johnson, passed away on May 21st at age 60. Louis Johnson was a legendary bass player and one of the principal figures in Funk music, and also is famous for laying down that incredible bassline on Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” as well as playing on his hit, “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”. The Brothers Johnson collaborated with Quincy Jones, and are best known for their 1977 cover of Shuggie Otis’ “Strawberry Letter 23”,

Superstring theory turns out to be more complex than the universe it is supposed to simplify. Research suggests there may be ten to the five-hundredth power universes… each ruled by different laws. The truths that Newton, Einstein, and dozens of lesser lights have uncovered would be no more fundamental than the magical code of Nairobi…Physicists would just be geographers of some accidental terrain.

2116 AD The population is only allowed to live until their 21st birthday. On the 21st birthday (or Lastday as it is called) they are to report to the Sleepshop where they are euthanized using gas. They are able to keep track of their age (as well as their age being shown to others) by a crystal embedded in their palm that changes colors (0-6 yellow, 7-13 blue, 14-20 red, and then as Lastday approaches it flashes red and black until it goes black on Lastday). If they attempt to avoid the Sleepshop then they are hunted down by a Sandman. Not only are the Sandmen armed with a weapon that can fire a variety of deadly projectiles but they are also masters of the martial art Omnite. If a runner is able to escape they might find sanctuary if they can find a rocket and get to Argos Colony near Mars. (Logan’s Run, Bk)
