    i just heard on 'texas blues radio' that john lee had died. they played "i'm bad like jesse james" from the "live at cafe au go-go and soledad prison" album. he's backed by muddy waters and his band. it's the most badass song ever recorded.

    elsewhere on these boards i have thread dedicated to john lee hooker lyrics. i'm going to drink heavily tonight.


By patrick on Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 07:36 pm:

    id love to hang with you, listen to music droop and drink heavily.

    it seems apropos tonight.

    fucking shame my turntable is broke...can't listen to my copy of boogie chillun.

    maybe i'll throw it on the ole hi fi

    i think i just seriously irritated the dj at the college radio and TSOL.

    I called and asked them to play some JL Hooker without realizing TSOL was in the studio. they cam on the air and acknowledged the death and then played some TSOL.

    texas blues radio will be on for the next hour and fifteen minutes. they just played john lee doing "this is hip."

    It's funny, there's a rain delay on the Yankees game, so there showing the Simpsons. It's the episode where Bleeding Gums Murphy dies. Couldn't be a coincidence.


By droopy on Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 08:10 pm:

    jesus.

    it took an australian to remind me.

    there is only one true way to mourn - one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer.


By Czarina on Friday, June 22, 2001 - 09:19 am:

    I am in mourning.


By Spunky on Friday, June 22, 2001 - 10:13 am:

    One of my all time favorites.
    Move it over, little dog

    Funny to think that he and Archie Bunker arrived about the same time in the Great Beyond.


By patrick on Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:31 pm:

    a coworker made a good point about the way he died. though we all would like to go quietly in our sleep it would have been god damn appropriate if he just croaked right there on stage, the last pluck of the guitar ringing and feeding back.

    Im talking about John lee here, i could careless about OConner


By Spunky on Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:47 pm:

    Hell no, never die peacefully. and never die while your doing something you loved. that would suck.
    die while doing something you hate, like cleaning up dog shit or doing your taxes.
    who wants to die while having sex or are having a 5 under par golf game or driving your 68 'stang fast back that you spent your life restoring, only to croak while drving it and your wreck the damn thing.

    NEVER DIE PEACEFULLY AND NEVER DIE DOING SOMETHING YOU LOVE!


By heather on Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:55 pm:

    die cleaning up dog shit? FUCK NO


    don't die
    forget. fall asleep.
    god will come get you

    die falling from 10,000 feet
    floating

    die because your heart explodes

    die defending family

    die after 47 days in the middle of a quiet sea. write it all down.

    die knowing the difference


By droopy on Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:55 pm:

    i personally like the fact that his death didn't fit some romantic image. he got to jam all his life and then he died peacefully. the good lord done smiled on him.


By droopy on Friday, June 22, 2001 - 07:21 pm:

    that station i linked to above is playing a set of hooker. the d.j. refers to him as "mr. hooker." they're playing "sally mae." the blues freaks my cat out. metallica bores her, but you put on the blues and she gets excited. then again, that's what i do.


By droopy on Friday, June 22, 2001 - 07:24 pm:

    by the way - i can't remember what thread this was on, but nate's little rewrite of "let it be" was cool. i've been playing that on guitar.
