Listen
Albert King “Stormy Monday” (8:37)
(Recorded June 27, 1968 at The Fillmore Auditorium , San Francisco, California)
Good choice!
“Fear! A terrible enemy–trecherous, and difficult to overcome. It remains concelaed at every turn of the way, prowling, waiting. And if the man, terrified in its presence, runs away, his enemy will have put an end to his quest.”
—Don Juan
“I know I cannot straighten out with a few pen-strokes what God and men took centuries to mess up. So I tried to deal with life as we actually live it–not as the sociologists imagine it.”
—Zora Neale Hurston

Already have posts up. Didn’t think I’d open shop without products did you?
You like Johnny Winter. Be my friend?
Absolutely I like Johnny Winter. If that’s the make-or-break for friendship it sounds good to me.
Words on life
If life and death a man must carry
and life the gift that man must bury
love of life which shan’t restore
owes to cries, and cries the more
-
So row now quickly do not tarry
strike the oar my mind grows weary
ferry me across the shore
beneath the veil, beyond the door.
Why?
I’m wondering why Barbara Ehrenreich bothered even writing “Nickel & Dimed”. Dolly Parton wrote “9 to 5” nearly two decades earlier and like thirty thousand words shorter.
