I have some advice for you rw: Never go out Christmas shopping on a snowy day, especially if you can't drive and take the bus. It was too cold outside. And if you do, shop somewhere affordable. I went to Target to buy some gifts but the prices were pretty steep.

rw, I selectively enjoy stuff by L&M or L or M, but I really like "Peace of Mind," part of a "Trilogy" on Sittin' In. It's from their debut(?) album, 1971. Really lovely. So, maybe it's worth giving those LPs a spin?

Hey chresti, mostly stuck for ideas for my mom and my sister's family. I often make marmalade with the tangerines that hang over into my yard adding a good helping of ginger. I may do that again. Need some more ideas though. Sister's kids like cash but that's a little boring.

Little richard has about 15 over-the-top Amazing, Brilliant, Groundbreaking songs. and that's it! (in my opinion)

Stan Ridgway told me that when he was in high school him and his brother Ken got Bo Diddley to play in their gym. He said they called his house and his wife answered the phone. They asked "Is Mr. Diddley home?" She said "Just a minute. he's under the car." what ever they said worked. They got Kaleidoscope to open the show.

It was for me a surreal experience, because I was merely familiar with BD, and I had no affection for "old" rock. But it was captivating, too, and I understood the impetus to include him, i.e., to acknowledge his musical contribution.

There is something medieval about the Bo Diddley signature strum, but I'm hard pressed to think of an example. Still, I'm inclined to accept that Bo Diddley influenced his predecessors. (See Harold Bloom, who has argued that earlier poets influence later ones.)
