Can't be Satisfied

Last night I dreampt that I was hanging out before some conference, waiting for things to get started with Keith Richards (yes, of the Rolling Stones). I think we were even going to share a hotel room. What I remember best is agreeing, very cordially, that we should have a fistfight but that before the conference wasn't good timing. We'd schedule it for later in the evening.

Reading "Can't be Satisfied: The Life and Times of Muddy Waters" is having a disproportionate impact on my moment-to-moment psychology, even in my sleep. It's a good book and interesting for far more than just the information about an important senior member of the blues and rock and roll pantheon. Particularly of note is that transition from life as a sharecropper, to life as a blues star. Talk about turning the world upside down.

Another Creative Mis-read

While scaning headlines on the 'net, I stumbled across a very curious headline:
"Iran Defiant After Being Reported by IKEA"

I was suprised to find that the story was *not* about a conflict between an Islamic Middle Eastern nation and a low-cost Scandinavian furniture retailer.

Not feelin' too bright today...
