I like that clip. Seems a lot of popular blues these days has descended into “flash” guitar playing.

Core musical memory for me: Being a teenager and hearing Buddy Guy’s “The first time I met the blues” for the first time, in a tiny record shop in Hythe (Kent, England).

A lot of wealth comes from central banks just creating money and handing 80% of it to the people who are already wealthy.

In a world where VW exists, it takes a special kind of genius to make Tesla the car brand most associated with abhorrent fascists.
