What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you
(and remember, you can always e-mail me if you love or loathe anything you're about to read)...

MARTIN SCORSESE GETS THE BLUES

Pull out your calendar, appointment book, PalmPilot or whatever, and book off the evenings of September 28 - October 4. The PBS website has all the info on Scorsese's new 7-film-17-CD-and-1-book history of blues music in America. As he himself says,

"If you already know the blues, then maybe this music will give you a reason to go back to it. And if you've never heard the blues, and you're coming across it for the first time, I can promise you this: Your life is about to change for the better."

Robert Johnson, Bessie Smith, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan...do I have to keep going? I can't wait for this series.
