Is he scary? Drunk? Perhaps has special needs?

Probably a special needs kid.  Downs kids love doing that in my experience.

So many people in SF would fit that general description.  It's sad I've gotten to the point where I probably wouldn't look twice at him.

I think in the last draft, we were able to create a huge amount of non-drafting time discussing shuffling of the master playlist.  Maybe once everyone’s individual playlists are more populated we can do more exploring.

Also a good point.

3.14 The Roots (featuring Cody ChesnuTT) - The Seed 2.0

2002

Loved this thing back in college and I'm pretty sure we played it at a few gatherings/house parties we threw back then. It doubles as a great jukebox song anyway, but it's great for get togethers, etc... I don't think I know of anyone who doesn't dig this even a little bit. If you say you don't, you're probably maybe lying. ?uestlove's drums carry this thing on and ChesnuTT's vocals so smooth

Didn't think I'd get snipped in this thing and here you go....

Right after reading @Binky The Doormat and @krista4 posts about not as much sniping.  Thanks a lot ya jinxes!!!!  :angry:

I know. That's what year I originally was going to use but Spotify had a 2009 re-release with where did our love go so used that. Is that illegal or just shady?

I’d say illegal. The song was released originally alone as part of a studio album and also released with where did our love go on an EP in the same year. I’m thinking the re-release is more like a remaster.

The song has always had a "Baby, baby where did our love go" to it back from the 80s. That's the single, if I'm not mistaken.

Rd 3 Boogie Chillen by John Lee Hooker (1948)

B side:Sally Mae

A key trigger in the development of Detroit music is the Great Migration. The abundance of factory jobs and hopes for a better life outside of the South made Detroit a huge draw for Southern Blacks. Between 1910 and 1930, Detroit's population grew by 40%. Before World War 1, Detroit had only 4,000 Black residents. By 1930, there were 120,000 Black people living in Detroit. Detroit became the 4th most populated American city. However, jobs, homes and services were stressed. This led to massive racial tension and a long series of violent encounters between Blacks and Whites including the 1943 riots where 25 people were killed. Most of those killed were residents of Black Bottom (one of the poorest neighborhoods of the city) after Whites, often from out of the city, came to attack the Black residents. 

One of these new arrivals to the Renaissance City was a Mississippi guitar player born in 1912, 1915, 1917, 1920, or 1923- nobody knows for sure. He ran way from home as a teen and traveled city to city before ending up working at a Ford Plant in Detroit. While working as a janitor, the illiterate John Lee Hooker ended up becoming a star in Detroit, a city with very few guitar players at the time. His 1949 song Boogie Chillen was the best selling "race record" of the year. Eventually, Hooker's music would make it to the UK where he would finally crossover to white audiences, proving to be a massive influence on the blues based rock bands of the British Invasion. What a strange path life and music can take. 

Unfortunately, the Hastings Street blues clubs and record shops that Hooker frequented no longer exist. Nor do the haunts of Joe Louis. The same time Boogie Chillen was peaking, the Federal Housing Act of 1949 was passed which allowed the City of Detroit to condemn the 2 prominent Black neighborhoods of Black Bottom and Paradise Valley as slums. They were razed to make way for freeways. By 1950, the city had displaced 2 vibrant Black communities and leveled 423 residences, 109 businesses and 22 manufacturing plants.

The lack of public transportation in and around Metro Detroit has been a real disaster for the area. We almost got a pretty functional looking rail system a couple years ago but voters narrowly knocked it down. The worry of Blacks coming from the city out to the suburbs is still a legitimate worry for many around here. The racial tension in Detroit has been a serious problem for over 100 years now. Probably as bad as anywhere in the country.

Hooker moved to the Bay Area in his later years.  He became enough of a fixture to be beloved like a local.  I've walked past his club The Boom Boom Room a few times during shutdown.
