{quote} Yep RJ, it was hard to find a place for it, at the time, but I enjoyed hearing it again. And it featured in a movie soundtrack too lol. Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels was in a similar vein and type of movie as Rock N Rolla (I enjoyed both for what they were lol) Lou Reed - The Gun (on the soundtrack of Rock N Rolla) (same genre of movie I guess - for the type of song) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-mJ...rj-4U&index=12

I had a 'love-hate' thing with that song......I hated it, but I'd always sing it at the top of lungs in the car! Perhaps I liked it....dunno, but I was pleased to find it today (for some reason!)

There's a few birthdays on the list today, and the first one is very, very important imo.....because without this man there may not have been the blues.....and without the blues there may not have been rock n roll.

So, Happy Birthday to American blues singer-songwriter Robert Johnson. His landmark recordings in 1936 and 1937 influenced later generations including Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Eric Clapton (Cream covered 'Crossroads), The Rolling Stones ('Love In Vain'). Johnson is now recognised as a master of the blues. He died on 16th August 1938 at the age of 27.

Another birthday today is that of American rock and roll star Ricky Nelson, who had the 1958 US No.1 'Poor Little Fool', the 1961 UK No.2 single 'Hello Mary Lou' plus over 30 US Top 40 hit singles. From age eight he starred alongside his family in the radio and television series The Adventures Of Ozzie and Harriet. In 1972, Nelson reached the Top 40 one last time with 'Garden Party'. Nelson died in a plane crash northeast of Dallas in De Kalb, Texas on 31st December 1985.

Not a commonly known person, but he had a huge influence none-the-less and who would also be celebrating his birthday is Danny Whitten, guitarist, singer, songwriter. Member of Neil Young's Crazy Horse and writer of 'I Don't Wanna Talk About It', covered by Rod Stewart, Rita Coolidge and Everything But The Girl. The Neil Young song ‘The Needle and the Damage Done’ was written about Whitten’s heroin use (before he died of an overdose on Nov 18th 1972).

Terrific mini doco on Robert Johnson, RJ.

Great to hear the story from Son House's perspective.

Yes, what Son House had to say leaves more questions than it gives in answers.....answers that we'll never know. I'ts a good little doco though and it gives an insight into how hard life must have been back then.....and we're bitching about the lockdown!!
