I hate to burst your ever expanding bubble of conspiracy but the truth of the matter is that Steve Patterson and Joe Biden have been friends for almost 15 years. Of course, Mr. Patterson knew that Biden didnt have a shot at winning but he had a fundraiser in spite of that fact BECAUSE THEY ARE FRIENDS. Senator Biden is a powerful man but last time I checked that power doesnt extend to Mississippi. So answer me this- what exactly did Patterson stand to gain by having a fundraiser for a senator from Delaware? Im sure you will come up with some crazy explanation about how Biden was positioned to be Sec. of State and could help the Patterson-Balducci firm in some underhanded endeavor but your overactive imagination would have led you astray yet again. Some advice- stop spending hours researching the connections between people far more important than you and enjoy the holidays with your family (assuming you have one of course).

(I’ll explain on request)

REQUEST! You school us on Ike’s birthing rock ‘n’ roll whenever, however, as-much-ever you like, NMC.

This still is, Scruggsiana notwithstanding, a generalist blog that can head off anywhere anytime. And frequently will, I verily hope.

Sid Salter’s blog is the source of the report about Joey Langston’s house being searched. He stated that he had confirmed it.

“discovered Elmore James” may be a bit much– Elmore recorded for Trumpet Records before he recorded with Ike for Modern Records.

interesting about Backstrom. What his lawyer is saying: “UNITED FRONT.” Do they have a defense agreement in place? I’d say yes.

I’m a bit sad about Ike, who I met once. Asshole or not, he was a major figure in American music (not just the husband of Tina)

True story:

A great band in Clarksdale was going to Memphis to record. They make a deal: The first single will be in the name of their lead singer (Jackie Brenston) and their next will be in the name of their piano player. On the way, the amp fell of their car and the speaker broke, making for a really nasty sound.

They get to the studio in Memphis, then known as Memphis Recording Service, and record a song known as “Rocket 88″, that came out under Jackie Brenston’s name.’

It came out on Chess. Memphis Recording Studios we all remember as Sun Studios. The record has been called “The first rock and roll record.” And Ike was mad till the day he died that his name was on the next single, which no one remembers.

Ike Turner did better than knowing how to marry.

He could have said he invented rock and roll (I’ll explain on request) and discovered Elmore James, Little Milton, and lots of others worth mentioning.

Hey, Walter — welcome to folo! Yep, that’s all I saw you saying too. Reckon the reporter couldn’t understand your accent?
