You must be joking.
It appears so...but humor can be an elusive thing... I've been trying to tell people about Randall Bramblett's excellent new album called "Devil Music", and nobody believes me... about what a real deal, authentic gumbo of wry lyrics, great rhythms, and blues like a soul who has lived it, kind of album it is... because they can't get over the title. And the title is all about a joke!, a fable about when Howling Wolf went to visit his Mama, after hittin' it big, and his Mama called it "Devil Music".... From my fifties years of study it, it is not devil music. Is this humor or irony? Am I on the right thread?
The joke is tight asses who can't get over the title.
To quote George Carlin "As they say in the US Navy, there is no wrong hole." Well, the same thing applies to threads. Anyhow, there is no more devil music than there is unicorn music. Howlin' wolf's mama was a dumbass.
You knew her "personally"?
Nope, just judging her on that one particular item. Do I need more? I don't think so, but I've dug some up anyway.
The life and times of Howlin' Wolf
A good reason to howl.
Yesterday I was at my local grocery store buying a large bag of dog food for my loyal pet and was in the checkout queue when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
What did she think I had an elephant?
So, on impulse I told her that no, I didn’t have a dog, I was starting the Dog Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn’t, because I ended up in hospital last time, but I’d lost 10 pounds before I woke up in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with My Dog nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in queue was now enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, she asked me if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off the curb to sniff an Irish Setter’s butt and a car hit me.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. I’m now banned from my local grocery store .
