Bo Knows guitar histrionics
Posted by: jamie | June 2, 2008 5:49 PM
Mr. Bo was a M-A-N. People want to call him a Chess Records bluesman, or an early Rock 'n Roller, but he was neither. His great original recordings, '55-'60-something, were just that, original. His modal, totally rhythmic approach not only pre-dates James Brown, it goes all the way back to Africa. And his jivey, boastful and so-cool vocals updated jump blues and foreshadowed rap.
What more can you want, what else can you say?

The creation and continued development of my long running strip, "The Family Circus" is by no means a viable rationale for wishing its creator dead over another, less derided, creative mind.
OK, unless it's Irma Bombeck. I hate that bitch.
Or Salmon Rushdie. Christ, there's no need to use the WHOLE dictionary.

Bil: It's "Erma Bombeck" and she's been dead since 1996. Are you letting Billy write your posts now?

Irma Bombeck is in heaven with grandma.
Posted by: Anonymous | June 4, 2008 1:34 PM
therblig: Well sure, ERMA Bombeck is dead. It's that Irma I can't stand.

Q: What does Emba Bombeck have in common with Lance Ito, Yoko Ono and Bobby Orr?
A: They will all live on as long as there are crossword puzzles.
(Can you think of any others?)

The sport of jai alai. I've been filling it in dutifully in crosswords for more than 30 years and still have no idea how it's played.

Jim, I think you mean "high lie." (It refers to the way people delude themselves while stoned.)
As for crooswords clues: Lets not forget that loveable dump "Shea" Stadium.
