Conversation so far:
Can you explain to me a little about the formation and Motorcade of Generosity and how it relates to Cake the band?
Cake was formed in 1991. After touring and becoming part of the club scene in San Francisco, the band independently recorded and released Motorcade of Generosity in 1994.

Question: How did it all begin?
Self-contained rewrite: How did it all begin for John Crea?
