    This is probably the baddest blues tune ever!

    You guys were telling me the Raiders deal to Oakland was not going to happen when the casino guy backed out. I told you that 750 million was a lot of money for a municipality to offer and because of that the deal would still get done. One thing we must not forget, it’s always about the money. Oakland played hard ball with their perceived leverage, just like SF did with the 49ers, and lost their team.

      Oakland sucks at sports franchises. They’re all leaving except the A’s who would be in SJ if MLB would allow it. That Mayor is a good talker but no one is buying her act especially the NFL owners. Billionaires are not impressed with Mayors.

    How many twinkies can you guys stuff into your gut in one sitting? That’s a topic on the KNBR Tom Tolbert Show around 6:45 tonight. Sports talk is running empty about now..

    Winder, John Mayall was the guy that got me HOOKED on the British Blues Invasion as a kid –
    This concert DVD, for his 70th Birthday, is in my collection and is probably my all time favorite.
    This one’s for you……

    • Winder's avatar Winder says:

      Yeah, I enjoyed a lot of his early stuff and still listen to it now and then.. The Brits were listening to the blues way early on and I think they influenced a who shitload of bands. I really liked his 70th birtday stuff also.

        I’m upgrading the Man Cave A/V System right now – Gonna blow the roof off the place soon enough 😀
        New Yamaha receiver will take control once the new TV is purchased.
        That DVD will be played early and often once it’s completed.

        Gotta believe Clapton got his start by way of Mayall.
        the rest, as they say…is history.
        Love me some British Blues 😀

    This guy is very good as well –
    He passed away several years ago but…Music Lives Forever.
    Hope you enjoy it…..

  8. NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

    Another good one –

    Another guy that departed this life in recent years but, left us some good Blues to enjoy –
    By way of Palm Springs CA to TX – Bugs Henderson. RIP.

    Another classic I can hear enough of – Neil Young’s Cortez The Killer…

    Just listened to that NJ. Unreal version of that. I’m listening to. Neil Young right now on Bart. Miss the days when he used to play the keystone PA.

    The NFL is already starting to hemmorage fans. Mving 3 teams in 15 months isn’t a good precedent. Especially when Jolly Roger talks of franchise stability. This is not helping. Stl and now Oalkland lose a team for a second time?

    Like our political climate these days, the people mean nothing to those holding the cards. Fans? Fuck ’em. Goodell is a douchebag. Oakland and San Diego are cornerstones of the AFL (yeah SD started in LA) and Goodells take is ‘meh’ show me the money. The fans don’t fucking matter. This is going to bite the NFL the ass when the LA teams suck and don’t draw fans and the Gegas team is a colossal joke.

    This is the XFL pretty soon.

      chuck- just think though, now the Raiders can plan to build their own themed casino. Believe me it will be a circus act in every way. But the Raiders always wanted to be bigger than life. I lived in the East Bay for years and lived around some of the original Raider fans. Heck, i even married into a die-hard Raider family. And, if any of them were still around they would be heartbroken.

    This was the first time I ever heard Peter Green. Totally fell in love with his style.

    I can’t believe the Raiders will stick around for two years or perhaps three. That’s ridiculous in the extreme. The whole Raiders thing is a reminder that building stadiums and making money is critical to the NFL not the people who show up in the parking lot on game day. Mount Davis screwed Oakland and they were not getting taxpayers to pony up again. Now that stadium will be torn down. Even the A’s don’t want it. It outlived its time.

    Yeah winder, the early Fleetwood Mac is so far removed from the later crap as to be a different band.

    Absolutely love Roy Buchanan
