Did I<br \/>\nmiss something? As far as I remember he was Howlin Wolf\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s guitar player and<br \/>\nhad a short stint with Muddy Waters. Every guitar player from Clapton to<br \/>\nRichards have said they were influenced by him. But folk? Come on Bob! You<br \/>\nread to many comic books!<\/p>\n<p>Also, I love the cleanup job your fellow under-paid co-workers had to do with<br \/>\nLaurel at Food and Ferm, making a cute little video about her cooking skills.<br \/>\nHow did that make you feel?

We both know neither one of<br \/>\nus have time for the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Your two articles this week got me laughing once again (U shur ar&#8217; pro-lific).<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not going to comment on the downtown one even though I will give you<br \/>\ncredit on the drug reference, very clever, I never knew you had it in you.<\/p>\n<p>Though many things were factually wrong with your Joan Jett article (which<br \/>\nwe&#8217;ve come to expect out of you) I want to instead focus on your comment about<br \/>\nCourtney Love being the Queen of Rock. I had to go home early for lunch today<br \/>\nbecause I pissed my pants laughing after reading that. Courtney Love has<br \/>\ncontributed only one thing in her life, she had Kurt Cobain&#8217;s child, that&#8217;s<br \/>\nit! (oh, and she keeps a lot of farmers in Afghanistan in business).<\/p>\n<p>Though Joan is a contender for the position of Queen of Rock, I would probably<br \/>\ngive the title to Patti Smith or Etta James.
