dave म्हणाले...: Anything to avoid acknowledging the fact that Greenwald is roasting your ass on a continuous basis...; ६/१२/०६, १:५२ PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: dave: Greenwald's intense interest in me is touching indeed and raises the wonderful question why all the lefties are so fired up about me. Why do I drive them mad? How did Little Me manage to do that?; ६/१२/०६, २:३७ PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: And my ass is nowhere near Mr. Greenwald, who is an insignificant gnat next to Booker T.; ६/१२/०६, २:४१ PM
Rick Lee म्हणाले...: Thank you, thank you, thank you... I've never seen that video before... nice live version. Green Onions and Can't Be Still rank right up near the top of my all time favorites.; ६/१२/०६, २:४५ PM
Laura Reynolds म्हणाले...: Ann: I was waiting for you say you were at that performance. Ok maybe a bit before your time.

Who's Greenwald?; ६/१२/०६, २:४६ PM
Rick Lee म्हणाले...: BTW... I'm no expert on this food poisoning stuff, but if we got over our irrational fear of irradiation, wouldn't that solve all of these types of outbreaks? Just curious if anybody knows anything about that.; ६/१२/०६, २:५१ PM
Paul Dirks म्हणाले...: why all the lefties are so fired up about me.

And my ass is nowhere near Mr. Greenwald, who is an insignificant gnat next to Booker T.

Because you start writing like an enraged 13 year old anytime his name comes up and it's fun to watch.; ६/१२/०६, ३:०३ PM

Ann, I suspect that if you had lived in the south in 1950, you would have said something like, "Negroes deserve to be treated as well as whites." For that you would have been considered a traitor to your race, called a nigger-lover, and hated by many.

Today, working in academia, you have said that not all the enemies are on the right. For this, you are hated by some, considered a traitor to your gender and profession, and called various names.; ६/१२/०६, ३:५१ PM

Everybody knows Booker T and the MGs, and many people are hip to Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn, who are playing bass and guitar there. They were in the Blues Brothers movie and so got very wide exposure.

That's Al Jackson playing the drums there. He's really good and important, and not many people know who he is.

In some ways, he was the most important musician of any kind at Stax records in Memphis. He has a style of playing that doesn't seem like much at first. It's really hard to play like Al Jackson.

He's playing on Al Green's big hits in the early seventies, among a million other things. They are his best work. When you listen to those songs, you can here him play imperceptibly behind the beat, but he never slows down. He makes striking a snare drum seem to last for two beats. It's uncanny. It's the most languid thing I've ever heard.

His wife probably murdered him, and made it look like a burglary, about thirty years ago.

Al Jackson people.; ६/१२/०६, ५:१७ PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: It's nice to find out that our own dear Cedarford is a nuclear engineer.

Sippican: Thanks! And Cropper is giving all the white men lessons in how to do air guitar.; ६/१२/०६, ६:२० PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Well, geez, I feel useful today, then.

It's hard sometimes, to find something to be enthusiastic about, ain't it?; ७/१२/०६, ११:३५ AM
