Oh, man. I had a chance to see him on what was apparently his last US tour and I decided to do something else that evening instead...I'm gonna be kicking myself about that for awhile.

If I was a believer, I'd be thinkin' that the band "up there" keeps getting better and better. I bet there's a lot of "drum circle" type a-holes cluttering up the groove with extraneous cowbells and shit though. The kindof guys that never show up for practice, but always show up for the gig. Or do they go to a special circle of hell? I hope so.

Ya's gotta admit, Johnny was the whitest great blues player ever.

And, like, I ain't [really] mean to be un-PC! :twisted:
