An engineer died and went to Hell. When he got there, he looked around and said “Man, this place needs fixing up. Mind if I do a little work on it, Satan?” Satan said, “sure”, and the engineer went to work. First, he installed a big AC system. Next, he built a waterworks system. Ice cold water fountains everywhere. He’d started on a sewerage plant when God looked down and saw all the work he was doing. He decided Heaven could use a little sprucing up and got to thinking maybe he’d sent the guy to the wrong place. He told Satan, “Look, this engineer got sent to the wrong place. Send him up here. Satan said, “No, he works for me. You can’t have him.” God said, “What do you mean, No? I am omnipotent. You can’t refuse me!” The Devil said, “I’m not letting go of him” God replied, “Fine. I’ll sue you and we’ll see who wins. Satan chuckled as he said, “Where you gonna find a lawyer?”

Would that be Little Johnny F. F.?

Remember Mama’s Worry?

Whatever.

I saw him at the Armadillo World Headquarters less than a year before he passed.

The Redman’s. Dang, that one had slipped into the recesses of my memory. Freddie died in 1976, around 45 yrs old. Some say cancer, I had remembered it as bleeding ulcers brought on by poor diet and stress of the road. The guy could sure play.

All media exists to make money, and will bias toward their market. Journalistic integrity is something altogether different.

Leon Russell produced Freddie’s last album, Texas Cannonball on the Shelter label.

Yep, the three kings - BB, Freddie, and Albert.

Exactly how the right judges the “mainstream” media, right? That’s quite a statement to make there, Nash. Did your fingers cramp up as you keyed?

That’s one of the most pathetic analogies I’ve ever seen.

I came across a copy of that rag today. They don’t care about truth any more than trump does.

Have you ever worked an election?

Deficit spending juices any economy. Trump piled up deficits like nobody’s ever seen. Many people say he is the greatest deficit hound in history.

That album by Freddie King I recommended, Burglar, has a song called “Sugar Sweet”. Freddie’s rhythm guitarist on that one - Eric Clapton. Both Freddie and Lightnin’ Hopkins had an influence on a bunch of the later blues guitar greats.

Well, a playlist of his recordings would be incredibly brief. However, all of the guitarists of the later generations I’ve seen mentioned here stand on his shoulders.

Reasonable assumption. I do like Buffalo Springfield, and CSN was okay, CSNY great. I like Stills’ blues-centric style and Young, of course, is in a league of his own considering his songwriting abilities on top of his play.

He treats everyone who disagrees with him with disgust and disdain. He talks like a bully, then cries like a baby when it gets dealt back. What kind of a man does that?

Stills & Young

You mean he’s a victim?

Yeah, that’s a pretty cool story.

Most underrated album of ‘70’s imho.

We were told for a good while before the election that would happen. Those states all had provisions that limited processing of mail in votes. In PA, for instance, they couldn’t even open the envelopes until Election Day. When 2/3 of the votes are early, it’s not surprising.

Never too late if you got the want-to.

The Republican Party has no platform. First time in modern history a party adopted no platform at a convention. Trump is the party.
