Many iconic songs wolfie001 Jun 2025 #71

Totally. His disdain for injustice shines through much of his work. Blues Heron Jun 2025 #80

Yes! Just say something in the microphone. Just a word or two. wolfie001 Jun 2025 #103

He could say something in the microphone. He's still touring so quit with the "he's an old guy" stuff wolfie001 Jun 2025 #104

Hagiographic is a perfect descriptive for the way the 1960s/1970s are looked at here on too many occasions. nt Celerity Jun 2025 #25
