Thank you, Ry Cooder.

"Chan Chan," Buena Vista Social Club:

If someone needs a topic: Nobody's Business:

Don't Tread on Me
Leave Me TF Alone

ain't nobody's business, baby,
honey, what I do or say,
it ain't nobody's business but mine.

Or run with with this: hormones, rites of passage . . .

The Fugs, "Saran Wrap"

5. I have a friend who graduated high school class of '69. His first-generation ethnic mother's comment, somewhere along 1967/68:

"The Beatles were okay. But when you brought home those Creams . . ."

Thx.

I had a bootleg years ago of sides that Dylan recorded as a harmonica sideman for some old-time blues artists. Your comment brought that album to mind.

I forget, though, if this was one of the songs. Photo not from 1961.

Dylan and Big Joe Williams.

7. Tommy Johnson off my radar. Great writeup.

More Ry Cooder.

Captain Beefheart, "Yellow Brick Road":

5. That same friend's high school invited Tuli Kupferberg out for a speech or performance or poetry reading or whatever he might have done when he was invited somewhere.

The main takeaway was that he was so paranoid, he needed someone to accompany him from his home and train station to the school and back. And feed him.
