One Hundred Years of Muddy Waters!

Muddy Waters was born 100 years ago today.

It oughtta be a national holiday, dammit!

Muddy might not have realized it at the time, but truly he helped get America's mojo working.

He died in 1983, but his music lives on.

So even though we don't get the day off, show your patriotism and take a few minutes off work and watch these videos. You owe it to Muddy. You owe it to yourself. You owe it to America.

Happy birthday Mr. Morganfield.

Here's Muddy on television in Europe in 1960 with Sonny Boy Williamson, and a band featuring Willie Dixon and others



Here's Muddy around the same time at the Newport Jazz Festival


And here's Muddy with a bunch of British guys in the early '80s.

The Question Mark Interview

In case you missed my live interview with the one and only Question Mark of Question Mark & The Mysterians, you can listen to it here through the magic of Mixcloud.

The actual interview starts about 20 minutes into the show following some hard thumping garage rock (including some of the bands I saw at The Detroit Breakdown at Lincoln Center in New York in 2010 -- where I saw Question Mark & The Mysterians for the first time ever. (There's also a little fumbling when I was having trouble getting the telephone to come out over the air.)

Be sure to listen to the end, or you'll miss the story of how Question Mark was nearly crushed to death by Meat Loaf in a rollaway bed.

So wake your friends, slap your neighbors and listen to this crazy stuff.

A Song for Every Year in My Life

My friend Chuck sent an e-mail yesterday to a select group of cronies telling how another friend of his, who will turn 50 this year, made a list of his favorite songs for every year he's been alive. Chuck decided to try it himself and issued a challenge for us to do the same.
