So how did Jerseyites get a derogatory French slang moniker?
LOL!
Anyhow, our guitarist Ed King and lead singer, Lee Freeman, both gone now, used to live together in Burbank, Ca. and after a long tour came back home at a late hour and were looking for something to munch on when the looked in the fridge they saw that their butter had turned...I thought butter could keep forever...but I guess not. Lee referred to it as black butter....I guess I should add that they were in an altered state of mind. This enabled them to stay up all night and write a song. It turned out to be a trilogy. past present and future. I had no idea that black butter was a Jersey thing...maybe Lee and Ed did...I don't know and will never know for sure. They were both well read...maybe it was something the saw somewhere...I wish I knew. But I like the idea that it's actually something that has an origin. Thanks for that...and welcome to the SAC board!

As a Jerriais crapaud myself, I've come to realise black butter actually originated here (jersey channel islands). So now here I am wondering what its doing in a california bands song.
Any information on this?
