Another good day for music!

 "A man's greatness lies not in wealth and station, as the vulgar believe.  Nor does it lie in his intellectual capacity, which is often associated with the worst moral character - the most abject servility to those in high places and arrogance to the poor and lowly.  But a man's true greatness lies in the consciousness of an honest purpose in life, founded upon a just estimate of himself and everything else.  On frequent self-examination, and a steady obedience to the rule which he knows to be right - without troubling himself, as the emperor says he should not, about what others may say , or whether they do or don't do that which he thinks and says and does." - Marcus Aurelius

 Long stoic quote.  Excellent points made though.

This song started before I got to the street.  It was kind of a hit in the late 80's, and it's nearly forgotten now, I suppose.  I like it because it has a really nice melody, but then it has some really sad lyrics - at the end maybe a little hopeful.  Los Lobos - "One Time One Night"

My dude James Solberg threw some blues my way - "LA Blues"

Then there was this weird Nu-Wave hit from the early 80s that I hadn't heard in forever: Wall of Voodoo - "Mexican Radio".  Not sure if this song could be made these days.  Just goes to show that you don't need a ton of musical talent to write a clever and catchy song!

At the other end of the talent spectrum:  Little Walter came up. "Can't Hold Out Much Longer".  Awesome blues man!
