When I bought my first drum machine - 1985? - it was an E-mu Drumulator. Anyway... you could open it up and change the chips (e-proms?) to install different sounds. On the printed circuit board I noticed this printed on it - "E-mu - never a beat off"

[Highlander]

Well known P-Funk fans the old USAF fly boys; common knowledge over here...

Don't know much about US politics - is there some other reference I may not be aware of...? (running for the air-raid shelter)
