Abe Books, online seller, is taking a timeout today.
They are bent out of shape about Amazon's ruthlessness.
What's new there? They are Top Dog; why should they have to do business where they don't make money?
Whiners!
No, actually, I feel that this is a sad way to reward the folks who've contributed to your success, Amazonandonandonandon.

Muddy Waters' Message to America

Be sure to catch the documentary "Gunsmoke Blues" on the tail of the Dr. Pepper ad above.
That's really her, Ima Pepper.
I just watched the neighbor across the street haul three twelvers of Bud Lite in the house.

hey there say, zBrown... i always loved her song...
thanks for sharing... i just read this about her...
thought you all might like it...
*how advertisers ruin, songs, commercializing them, suddenly:
they are about -- alkazeltzer... or, tater tots... or, some
un-sang-about stuff... :(
also, the list goes on and on... :(
yeah, look what they done to my song--
(and, newer generations, may never know) ...
:(
but-- the original person, is still 'high above' it all, in
quality, having done the song, in the first place:
THEIR WAY...
:)

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE:
In 2001, Wrangler used Creedence Clearwater Revival's song Fortunate Son for a commercial to advertise its Five Star Jeans.
Source: YouTube
But we only get to hear the first two lines of the CCR song.
The song was written to be a powerful anti-Vietnam statement. Fogerty was saying that it's hard to be patriotic when the sons of the rich don't get drafted, but the sons of the common man are sent away to fight the war.
The purpose of the song was to question patriotism. The purpose of the commercial was to celebrate it.
Fogerty no longer owned the rights to his song, which were lost to label Fantasy Records many years before, and had fought the record company for decades trying to get them back.
When Fantasy Records granted the rights to Wrangler, they did not consult Fogerty, because they didn't have to - legally. But when he saw the commercial, he was appalled.
Fogerty felt the use of his song in a TV commercial trivialized its meaning. Most of all, Fogerty worried what the reaction of the Vietnam vets would be, because so many had told him how meaningful that song had been to them.
But, the advertising industry has a bad habit of choosing music based on just a few lines and a melody, ignoring the basic message of the song.

Neebs, fortunately there may be the opposite. I think Dylan said that there are some versions of his songs that are just better. Class act that guy.

He said it Mr. MOUSE, not me. No way out. The threads may be worn at the edges, but some days, they may still may fit right. Keep on bernin' on this day, the 6th of the 11th.

I've been wondering what the timeframe is that Sheriff John Stone was posting here.
It is rumoured that Bob Dylan thought this version was better than his or that he liked it better anyway. Never thought to ask him that day we threw the frisbee out at Point dume.
Probably will never get another chance, but who knows.

Speak of the devil, here's Mr. Stone right now. From his Ventura (not far from Pt. dume) dayz.
