There’s something horribly wrong with a world where tickets to see Arnold Dorsey<\/del> Engelbert Humperdinck are 150% more expensive than tickets to see Buddy Guy<\/a>. I mean, Engelbert was a hit with the old broads (like my mom) back in the 60’s (mostly the sexually repressed Catholic girls that found his name titillating, I bet), but most of those women (like my mom) must be dead by now. And, let’s face it, Engelbert Humperdinck is no Tom Jones. <\/p>\n

Buddy Guy at #30 in the top 100 Guitarists of all time<\/a> 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<\/a>. On second thought, since Buddy is a Chicago guy, maybe Obama would be down with wiretapping the RS office phones in an effort to find out what the deal us. <\/p>\n

You know, I used to wonder how bad things could get if Bush wasn’t such a dummy. Obama is certainly no dummy. :paranoid: <\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

But have a good Friday (so to speak) anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
