What's So Good About It?
There’s something horribly wrong with a world where tickets to see Arnold Dorsey Engelbert Humperdinck are 150% more expensive than tickets to see Buddy Guy. I mean, Engelbert was a hit with the old broads (like my mom) back in the 60’s, but most of those women (like my mom) must be dead by now. And, let’s face it, Engelbert Humperdinck is no Tom Jones.
Buddy Guy at #30 in the top 100 Guitarists of all time shows what a piece of crap Rolling Stone - Matt Taibi aside - magazine is (or at least has become); one gets the impression that they’ve never heard - let alone seen - Buddy play. I’d ask them how they came up with that list, but Obama would probably invoke state secrets. I used to wonder how bad things could get if Bush wasn’t a dummy. Obama is certainly no dummy.
It occurs to me that only Christians (and maybe “24″ fans), with their penchant for torture porn, would call a day where you get nailed to a cross and left to suffer and die (after having your ass kicked all day dragging said cross through town) “good.”
But have a good Friday (so to speak) anyway.
