White people were not running out to buy primal country-blues wails by the likes of Blind Lemon Jefferson, and few blacks had the money for such a luxury as a Victrola. Hence, early blues records are the scarcest and the most valuable. They conjure spooky, cinematic images of the singers and their milieu. I relapsed like Robert Downey Jr. in a hotel room with Courtney Love. This would all be well and good were I not a writer living paycheck to paycheck.
Bills go unpaid.
The dog eats generic food. The other night, so overcome by emotion while listening to a Ukulele Ike 78, I cried like a little girl. I m a man possessed and obsessed, but I ll be dipped in dog doo if I m not loving every sweet minute of it. Someone, please help me. I m a very sick little monkey.
