Sore Throat Blues
I woke up with a sore throat this morning. Not surprising, after being tired for three days or so despite sleeping more than usual. Gah. When I get the blues, I go way old school and listen to Robert Johnson’s Genius of the Blues (on CD, though, not original chipped stone or whatever).
If you appreciate good music and haven’t heard Robert Johnson, who may or may not have sold his soul to the devil according to legend, you should at least sample some on iTunes or just trust my judgment and buy the whole CD. Eric Clapton called him “the most important blues musician who ever lived.” Spend an hour with his music and you’ll understand.
On a more hilarious note, my dad forwarded me this link to a guy pranking a telemarketer. Listen with the sound on if possible, though you can also read the transcript. I laughed a pathetic, painful chuckle this morning because of it!
