- Though no where near the "crossroads", the Delta Blues Museum is a great place to sell your soul to blues tourism and get a commemorative shirt in the process! Word is they just received a 1.5 million dollar grant for expansion.
- A new HBO movie is in the works on the life of Robert Johnson entitled Love in Vain, and the obvious choice has been cast to play the delta blues master: Sean 'Puff Daddy' Combs! Where's Suge Knight when you need em?
- NYU's hard hitting journalists at the Washington Square News recently did a piece on "The City Slickers of Country Music" and gave the CashHank Jamboree a decent write up and some press for the hardest working man [and damn fine gentleman] in NYC country Alex Battles.
- Koko Taylor is probably the toughest woman in blues and I would put my money on her to whup anybody's ass in contemporary blues in bit of fisticuffs anyday. Only slightly related: these blueswomen weigh in on the life of a blueswoman.

P Diddy is a bitch
I like this from "Fahrenheit 451"...
"So now do you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life. The comfortable people want only wax moon faces, poreless, hairless, expressionless. We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of growing on good rain and black loam. Even fireworks, for all their prettiness, come from the chemistry of the earth. Yet somehow we think we can grow, feeding flowers and fireworks, without completing the cycle back to reality."
