Possibly the worst job in the tech industry.
No racism to see here. Nope. None whatsoever.

From the Connections Department: Bandleader Fred Waring begat The Waring Blender which begat Dr. Jonas Salk’s polio vaccine. TRUE.

Saturday Matinee – The Veteran & The Neighbor, Junior Wells, The Healers & Roy Buchanan
Iraq war veteran (Airborne Infantry) bought a plot of farmland in rural Virginia and discovered that something came with it. Grab a mug and listen to his story.
Junior Wells‘ performed his 1960 hit “Messin’ With The Kid” live in 1993. The Blues Brothers did a decent cover in 1978, and this version by The Healers is killer.
The Healers have one fine lineup, and one fine cause.
Roy Buchanan (1939-1988) was one of the greatest unknown blues guitarists in modern history. Have a listen to “Roy’s Bluz” live in Austin Texas, 1976. [Related posts here.]
Have a great weekend, folks. Got a nice assortment of Hot Links for you to sift through tomorrow.

The 1967 Buick SportWagon: “It looks more like a luxury car than a station wagon.”
No it doesn’t.
It looks just like a late ’60s piece of crap station wagon.
Nice try.
“The children stretch out in the back, gaze up at the stars through the sun roof and they’re off to sleep in no time.”
Yeah, sure. Carbon monoxide poisoning puts you right out… been there, done that. Then you wake up with a pounding headache. Dad’s 1972 Ford Country Squire did it to me.
Years later it happened again. Danny Rat and I were hiding in the trunk of Raul’s Buick to sneak into the local drive-in theater without paying. We paid in brain pain that night, and I never did it again.
TRUE.

Saturday Matinee – T. Rex, Mott The Hoople & Lou Reed
T. Rex was a proto-punk band despite the glam rock stuff, and yeah, Marc Bolan was a Jeepster.
Yeah, I listened to Mott The Hoople, too, despite the glam rock stuff.
And yeah, I listened to Lou Reed despite his earlier heroin-addled glam rock stuff.
Have a great weekend, folks, come back here tomorrow for more stuff.
P.S. Tomorrow is Fathers’ Day. Do him a favor. Call and say “Hi, Dad,” then leave him alone. He’ll appreciate it. =)
