And my pulse raaaaacing

edit: the Control of Nature by John McPhee. My bad.

edit. Excuse typos. I do all this on an iPhone. It gets away from me sometimes.

Sorry I missed that convo session. I've never seen Heart live. Have always loved their big woman voice rock badassness. I'm glad to have seen LZ and heard Plant before he blew his voice, which was inevitable. And never understood the critics who thought he ripped from Robert Johnson, etc. always thought of it all as…

If you get a chance, you might read a piece by John McPhee. He writes a lot about the army corp of engineers and the damage they do trying to change the course of nature. they're pretty much responsible for that flood and have hurt the Colorado. McPhee is a literary journo who is a good read and gives both…

I wore that alum out back in the day. Saw them perform at LSU. They blew the roof off. Man. Great times. They were so loud and we were so happy. Their music just made you feel good even though it was so bluesy.

I feed the crust to my dogs. They expect it and fg watch me with lazer-focused stares, ears at the alert, and wait for the slightest movement that indicates pizza crust is moving their way. Then, they lunge.

So, I hope I don't get voted off the site for obnoxious posting. I would totally understand. Long week, blah, blah, etc. had to post one more song about Louisiana. Randy Newman. Social commentary wrapped in lyrics bound by sweet, sweet music. The stills are great, too. I'll stop now.

THAT was it! Way too many fried brain cells. Had u known I would live so long with hopefully so long to go, I might not have been so careless in my youth. Nope. I can't truthfully make that statement. Thank you. That might have teased the edge of my mind for a bit.

The Dr. Uses Cajun French and sings about the bayou unlike the Dixies, who are paying tribute to the tribes, so really they are different songs. Marain and parain, for example, I'm totally butchering the spelling, grandmother and grandfather.

Love this song. I've heard it covered but can't recall who and where. Probably by several. It's a great classic.

Not to repetitive, here's Dr. John covering it, which makes me just want to open an umbrella and dance, or waive a handkerchief, or both, because that's what we do.

I have so many. So many. Used to listen to several on my playlist while I ran Audubon Park.

Beautiful song feeding my homesick soul. It's Mardi Gras weekend. There. And, I am not. Here are the Dixie Cups singing Iko, a very traditional song with some cool shots. Big Chief Bo died in January. His likeness is captured on this year's Jazz Fest poster in tribute. During MG, the different tribes walk and sing…

I lived in Puerto Rico many years ago. Santana were gods. We danced at their feet.

My fav bad girl lived it like she sang it. Love this cover.

Duuuuuuude

High school is so f'g harsh. So harsh.

You can do it. And, if you must, you can do it again. This is a good thing. I have taken three bar exams. One of them twice, because I spaced out and got the dates confused. Do not judge. I was way too nervous. I realized I would neither die nor be killed. These tests are hard. My point is good luck, but no matter the…
