Papa John thinks Minnesota Democrats are too conservative, so he tried running for attorney general as a Green Party candidate, but he only got 2% of the vote. That taught him a lesson--major party is the only way to go. That's why he's gone out for a more heavy-duty ...

A songwriter called Trevathan published this in 1895 and claimed authorship, but W.C. Handy claimed he heard stevedores singing it in St. Louis in 1892 (Handy's not very reliable, tho). Handy used this format--12-bar verse with 16-bar chorus--for his pwn biggest hit, "St. louis Blues." Here's the oldest recording, by the woman that sang the song on Broadway: Here's an off-Broadway rendition by Gid Tanner and the Skillet ...

I’m not one of them, of course. I always play it safe by saying “I’m reserving judgment for now.” I’m not talking about “wrong" notes, which go way back to the '40s or earlier; I’m hep to wrong notes. But there was something that started in the 60s--the earliest example I can point to is Jimmy Giuffre’s “Free Fall”--a kind of screaming, squealing sound. Giuffre was banished ...

I also read that all those old hymns were in a hymn book assembled by Isaac Watts, that was taken to the American colonies and provided to the slaves. One of the Isaac Watts hymns was "Dark was the Night." The words were something like: "Dark was the night And cold the ground Where my Jesus lay As ...
