Father Michael, Row The Boat Ashore
[Found here, and yes, we discussed it at length yesterday when you weren’t paying attention.]

Interesting essay on the existence and non-existence of the FBI Files on cartoonist Walk Kelly. [Related post here.]
“Michael row de boat ashore, Hallelujah!” Earliest known published lyrics of that song date to 1867 and were written in dialect. It was sung by former slaves whose owners had abandoned St. Helena Island prior to the arrival of the Union navy. [Wiki]
Gullah is still spoken on St. Helena Island. It’s a creole language.
Squirrel painlessly removes girl’s tooth. TRUE.

Saturday Matinee – LAZAR, Ry Cooder & Black Country Communion
Unusual animation from the 1980s. It reminds me of Terry Gilliam‘s “Brazil” from the same period, and it’s apropos, given yesterday’s #Brexit vote in the UK.
Ry Cooder‘s version of Johnny Cash‘s “Get Rhythm” (from the album of the same name) is introduced by Harry Dean Stanton. Cooder’s swamp rock take of Elvis’ “All Shook Up” is killer.
PeteR recommended Black Country Communion featuring Glenn Hughes, so here he is, there they are, and here we go.
Have a great weekend, folks, and if we’re not rockin’ tomorrow we’ll be rollin’.

“Hey, Mr. Spaceman…”
Miami Blows.
“Dude. GTFO. That’s my spot.” Then it happened. The wind kicked up and Miami started raining furniture.
This is the incredible moment chairs and furniture where whipped into the air by ferociously high winds in Miami. Patio chairs and sun loungers can be seen flying through the sky as the fierce storm scoops them up and flings them from a high rise building in the Floridian city.
