Ask George Thorogood & The Destroyers why he did a new album full of blues standards, and he’ll give you a thousand reasons why he’s not qualified to play the blues. And all of them are nonsense. Though he considers himself strictly a rock guy, Thorogood has considerable blues credentials and keeps finding himself involved in blues-related projects (including sharing the stage with the legendary Bo Diddly). His new album 2121 South Michigan Ave plays homage to some of the greats, with covers of tunes by Chuck Berry, Willy Dixon, Muddy Waters and more. It’s already hit #2 on the Billboard blues chart, so protest as he might, George Thorogood is now officially a “blues man.”

At time of writing, my album charts are broken, so that seems like a good excuse to write about a band who have no playable tracks on last.fm. I have decided to pick the undisputed greatest pop band of all time. Of course this presents me with a challenge as a writer. Since numerous writers have already documented every nuance of their career.

I think my best bet is to document my personal contemporary memories, which although garbled, and necessarily childish, are at least unique to me. I can point out a few titbits of objective fact along the way, like a tour guide pointing through the windows of the bus at the rapidly passing scenery.

My first Beatles memory is she loves you. My great uncle, Barney, worked for a firm that provided juke boxes and pinball machines to pubs. Consequently he had access to all the latest hit singles. However, since his taste in music was almost entirely classical, he often missed their significance. …

Nigdy właściwie nie przyglądałam się szczegółowo okładce tej płyty. Wyglądają zupełnie jak hobbici, nie? Popatrzcie tylko na George'a i Paula!

Freedom comes sprouted whole from the head of it from the barrel of our pointed gun. The blood comes from the cut of the independence that we started to think about right before the indentured servants and slaves in bonds interrupted the conversation to bring us our dinner.

Yet, here we are the great contrast of images arms out to welcome the huddled masses until we get scared and pass the immigration laws all over again like we did before again and again. The Circle truly is Unbroken. This time its the Poles and the Irish mad about the Latinos like the good protestant native borns got upset about them. Fuck all its their turn. Everyone gets a turn you know. But here we are.

We save the world to open the door to its nuclear destruction. We are the ideals that we ourselves hold everyone else up to that we ourselves can never seem to live up to. Still, here we are.

We want everyone to be free until the CIA helps the military to overthrow their government. …
