Atlanta’s own, bluesman Tinsley Ellis, plays the Variety in Little Five Points tonight. I’ve seen him there before and it’s a great show, a perfect fit of musician, venue and audience. I’m debating whether to go tonight, but browsing through the Tinsley “ouevre” on Youtube trying to make a selection, I just might have talked myself into it.
Dude’s the real thing, as this video shows you.

Bruno,
Exactly what should I be eating crow for? I made a colorful comment about them in a lighthearted moment but I have nothing against the Phillies.

Reporter–Crisp Steely Dan selection. They never grow old in my book.
AM–I didn’t go to that particular PF show due to the cold weather and the absence of Roger Waters. Looking back, I should have gone.

“Bruno may not like this one, but I’m playing it”
Uh, that’d be right. There aren’t many lamer song than “Hot Child In the City”. Puh-leeeeze.
“For you blue eyed Philly soul boys…”
How’d you know I had blue eyes? Great HM&TBN selection, Am.
RW–Just pokin’ at you. I thought a few guys here were pulling for the Dodgers. Beating the Yankees will be tough, but the Phils might pull it off.

“From my favorite Philly white boy.”
I had a copy of the “Wizard” album in the 70s. If I remember correctly, it came with all four of the corners cut off, giving it an octogonal shape.
“And Darryl Hall isn’t far behind.”
Got it on in the background now.
Here’s some more good blue eye soul, but from abroad:

j$, If I didn’t know better, I would think you were going out of your way to punk me with the crap music selections. I’ve got a huge tattoo of Jerry Garcia on my back, which will be in next month’s Skin and Ink magazine. Do you think I would profane the memory of Jerry by listening to Phish??

To be fair, Jerry wasn’t a musical snob and never claimed ownership of the music. Which is why they set up sections at the show for the tapers rather than fighting it.

The White House Friday highlighted a new multi-million-dollar technology fund for Muslim nations, following a pledge made by President Barack Obama in his landmark speech to the Islamic world.
The White House said the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) had issued a call for proposals for the fund, which will provide financing of between 25 and 150 million dollars for selected projects and funds.
Tired of seeing little children scurry away after your brainwashed suicide bomber explodes his vest? Does it make you angry that you can only blow up one bridge, one building or one choo choo train at a time? Have you not before been upset when you open your poison gas canister in the perfect location outside of the infidel school and the wind suddenly changes direction and wipes out all of your mouth breathing ragheads instead?
Me too.
So here’s some money, lot’s of money, more money than you have ever seen before in your sorry lives, more money than the United States even has, more money than your country has ever earned in it’s whole entire history, it is my gift to you, so that you can build bigger and better implements of mass destruction to unleash upon the apostates, unbelievers and the dhimmis in the US media, and usher in the return of our blessed fourth iman, piece be upon him, ew.
Since you apparently don’t think I am the fourth iman anymore, that is. I am somewhat of a dud, aren’t I? Did you really think I was anymore than the teleprompter reading illiterate that I always was?
So go on a shopping spree, you hellbent savages, buy up all of the acids, caustics, explosives, disease, biological waste, nuclear contamination that you can get your hands on and spray it all over us.
You “genuises.”
Seig Heil!

The most likely possibility, the experts said, is the pilots fell asleep somewhere along their route from San Diego. “It certainly is a plausible explanation,” said Bill Voss, president of the Flight Safety Foundation in Alexandria, Va.-Urinal
The other option is that they were getting jiggy with it, ew.

“The pay curbs are intended to feed the official political narrative that the bankers caused the entire crisis, and that cutting their future pay will prevent the next one.”
Nice “theory”, stupid, but nice…

The foreign policy of Bush/Cheney, the 101st Chairborne and fake conservatives, as formulated by their alternative SecState.
“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”
The one that has gotten nearly 5,000 Americans needlessly killed, countless more whose bodies are mangled and broken, their families ruined and the nation damn near bankrupt.
This entire neo-con movement has been one giant recruiting poster for the Islamo-murderers.

Normal, I loved all of the stuff from Aqualung. And that is one sweet tune.
At the time, I was in the process of leaving Christianity behind me (for good) and knowing there were other voices, powerful voices that couldn’t be silence through intimidation and fear, out there willing to stand up to it, gave me great comfort.
You are not serving me, you’re serving something else
Cause I don’t need to be pleased, just get over yourself
You can’t suck up to me, I know you all too well
But I don’t dwell upon you, so get over yourself
Cause you’re not praying to me, you’re praying to yourself
And you’re not worshipping me you’re worshipping yourself
And you will kill in my name and heaven knows what else
When you can’t prove I exist so get over yourself
