Explanations

In a long, rambling post on his official Facebook page, Questlove addresses the recent closure of his NYC fried chicken stand, Hybird. After early lines noting "the bird has flown the coup—or did it jump the shark?" and "it wasn't no thang but a chicken wang (actually it was a drumstick) ?," Questlove acknowledges the closure. Kinda. "If anything its from the heart (my real one) and it's not satisfying that heart it's not satisfying at all. and so bye bye birdie. chicken, scratched."
