I've been on a musical odyssey for the last day or two. It happens. After rediscovering Marc Antony and side stepping to Santana's later stuff, I went down the hall to some of his older stuff. From there I stumbled into some other guitarists, one of whom was an Irish guy named Gary Moore. Never heard of him before. Dude had his axe on lock.
And so, after the age of Moore, I stumbled onto some other less notable stuff, but in the mix was 'ol Gary and BB King doing the thrill is gone. Got back to Santana and he played with Tower of Power for a show. One of the Tower tunes was "diggin on James Brown". Finally, I said fuck the dumb shit and got into some James Brown...
It's a good thing that was documented. In case you didn't know, that was James Brown and mother effing Luciano Pavaratti singing It's a Man's World. Ya, and I watched living in America from Rocky four too and went apeshit America all over everyone I saw. Who was no one, so I just felt a little patriotic. Had a thought too. People get down on America and hate it for the bad things of the past. And you can't argue about it. There was some messed up stuff. But what if you judged your parents or someone else you loved by the same standard? I'd hate my parents with the same standard that people put on the Stars and Stripes. However, I choose to love my country good and bad, acknowledging the bad crap for what it was but still embracing what it stands for and my countrymen. So take that Godless commies. And take this...
It didn't end there, and still hasn't ended, and yes I started drinking at 2 today. It's now 12.23a so put that in your pipe and smoke it. Gotta give Santana some love before I forget and assume I already did...
Actually, Santana gets double love so...
Ok, he get's triple love because I like this one too...
And somewhere in the mix, I got into some Billy Idol. He wins. He is what Charlie Sheen is trying to be, but Idol doesn't even know what's going on. Just effortless ownage, or hegemony. You're welcome Pete. Or, thank you I mean. I could probably show you better than I could tell you, so odyssize with me...
I put the acoustic version there so your brain wouldn't melt off your face or whatever is supposed to happen. Winning? Yes. I think so.
Apparently, the warm bacardi hug is a good companion to odysseys. I mean, Conan did it so it has to be the thing to do, right? Oh, and Thornan. You're welcome for that one Deej.

Too late. Brains are all over my apartment.
It's a nice day to start again. Deej, had you seen the acoustic version before? I hadn't. Pete told me about it when I was on my Odyssey. I just had some of my brains ooze out of my ears. Didn't quite explode. The Santana had some brains dripping out of my nose. And that cracker Gary Moore just blew my mind. FYI, he doesn't start thrashing his guitar till the end if you watched it.
