I've got the blues...

“...tonight, i'll hoist a bourbon, a scotch, and a beer for ya, man!

goodbye.”

“Boom Boom a couple for me too - another great one gone HOI”

“Bourbon, Scotch & Beer???

Did George Thorougood (sp?) die?”

“geez.

wake up, man!

george didn't write that!”

“Good point...George didn't write most of the tunes he wrote.

So who the hell wrote it then?

And why the toast?”

“go back to sleep.”

“And I don't want no drugstore women, neither. An icon has left us, but he made it to 83. Pretty damn good. Happy trails and bon voyage, big guy.”

“C'mon McFly...spill the beans!”

“how'z'about i kick ya in the beans, yo!

pay some respect!”

“John Lee Hooker, eh?

Thanks for sharing the info dick breath...ya can kick me in the beans if'n when we ever meet!”

“man, oh, man. you have got some serious blues!”

“I've got a few of his albums (out of a hundred or more put out!) . . .a fairly recent one, called (I think) Chill Out. LIner notes have great close up shot of his hands. All gnarled . . .amazing guitar.”

“One of the best IMHO...thanks for the music and RIP.”

“All John Lee Hooker in my office today. I love The Healer CD, with cameos by Bonnie Raitt, Carlos Santana, Robert Cray, Los Lobos, George Thorogood, Charlie Musselwhite and Canned Heat.

Don't Look Back!”

“Every time I see this thread it reminds me what a bad, money-sucking insurance company Blue Cross and Blue Shield is!! (at least in Iowa, with its "Wellmark" moniker)... They love to call themselves "the blues"......UGH!!!!!!”

“John Lee Hooker and Archie Bunker on the same day. True irony.”

“I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes
It was a miserable feeling, now babe, a feeling I do despise

Sad day.... Another giant gone...

Thanks for starting the thread Rad.”
