SIGN OF THE WHINES

Let me ask you something people. Is the man above not the shit? You do know him, don't you? Maybe that's an assumption that shouldn't be made. I don't really want to be a drag, but I recently had a couple conversations with people younger than myself who prided themselves on knowing music. Without going into details, let's just say that I don't trust anybody of any age that makes that sort of claim, because there is just so much out there. You might know more than your buds, but it might be a good idea to avoid blanket statements. Yes, Muddy Waters is elementary to most of us. Let's just consider this a reminder of what brought us here. But to anyone out there seeing this who doesn't know anything about Muddy Waters, crack your knuckles. Digging a little deeper into existing stuff nearly always beats downloading the latest remix or whatnot. That really goes for all of us. End of hissy fit.
