A wang dang doodle on a Friday night
In the week in which we lost the great, the truly one and only, Koko Taylor, there is only one possible choice for our Friday evenin’ travelin’ music. Wherever she is, I bet she’s pitching herself one helluva wang dang doodle.
All night long.

In 2008, the Internal Revenue Service said that Taylor owed $400,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest. Her tax problems concerned 1998, 2000 and 2001; for those years combined, her adjusted gross income was $949,000.[4]
