please love me...

nah ya don't have to.

but be warned.

never buy a BB King Album with that song on the list.

At one point Beeb had a dodgy manager who told him not to play the guitar while he, the manager, would supply him with a piano player and a horn section.

the result was pure sludge.

BB is a great singer but you can tell his heart wasn't in it when he performed without his guitar "Lucille".

I bought a double CD last week at the warehou and basically it was a dud so I gave it to the Family Shop.

Didn't even want it in my house!

The one to get is "A Heart Full Of blues".

Expensive but worth it.

This has BB at his most inventive with a sax player that had more than a few Bebop chops and the fills are fabulous.

Like outasight dude!

Got the Joan Baez CD at the same time and it is a beauty.

Her first ever album plus the "Best Of Joan Baez" all on one re-mastered CD.

Just beautiful kiddies.

and today I went crazy at the Warehouse and got an Elvis CD with all (most) of his early rockers for $4.99 and a cheapie DVD of "Gimme Shelter".

I hope my next door neighbour goes out tonight!

Gonna have a rave up tonight.

Still Reading Steve Jobs bio.

Wonderful character study and explanations of how he achieved success.

The secret is always in relationships.

Not enough time to explain it al here but one illustration might do.

e.g. Albert Einstein was both a physicist and he worked at the patent office in Zurich.

he was therefore concerned with both the theoretical and the practical.

And his parents loved him.

A study of Steve Jobs is also a study in parental love and relationships that combined to flower and blossom into something new.

He was a bit of a jerk sometimes but as they say he got it done.

Bought a CD about five years ago called "Rock 'n Roll " 'black'.

an EU job with selections from Fats Domino, Little Richard and Chuck Berry.

Chuck is another one you have to watch out for.

There are many re-issues of Johnny B. Goode that are live and minus the original opening riff.

erkkkkk.

Anyway Chuck does this song called Deep Feeling that is the model for both Fleetwood Macs "Albatross and Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton's duet on "West Coast idea".

like Topsy it grew and became more and betterer. tee hee.

anyway back to Steve Jobs. One of his mantras was, 'simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" as exemplified by the 11,000 Eichler Homes built in California in the 1950's and '60's.

I think Eichlers ideas were copied in New Zealand but supplied at a premium when they were originally designed as low cost.

Ya get that. Especially in New Zealand!

Constitutional News:

Arguments powered by American academic philosophers who cant get a job at the best universities there but who have found a home here and a willing market for arguments designed to cause trouble.

hmmmmmm.

Prosser the tosser.

Am very disturbed by the Green Party who want his head on the pretext that he is an officer of the New Zealand Parliament.

ON your bikes you f*cking wankers.

He was elected to represent his constituency.  not to be bound by rules conjured up by pantywaist twerps to make everybody conform to their version of reality.

who the hell do you think you are?

Looks like the Green Party are just another gang of 1984 style corporate Fascists.

You like the gays in ?France who want special consideration from the government to produce offspring.

Well there are plenty of spare children in Africa without you hot house flowers wanting to engage the whole scientific, medical community to do your bidding just because you have the money to express your individuality.

bah humbug.
