Because that's what he did. He went on and on and on.
But did YOU listen to his fucking BLUES RIFFS on and on? No. I didn't think so.
But all over the net, assholes with nothing better to do are leaving "nice" comments on news sites..."Oh, one of the greats." Like they ever bought his stuff.
Worse...idiots on FARCEBOOK are posting his picture only because they LOVE to post pictures of dead people and get dozens of comments they refract onto themselves. It works like this: "RIP...so sorry he died. YOU dug his music so my condolences to YOU." Isn't that what reporting a death is usually about from Internet idiots? It's about calling attention to themselves. Whee, first one with the bad news!
"So sad to hear about this."
THIS? THIS GUY who was fucking 89 years old, and whose faker relatives had him writing a letter from hospice care last week? "To all my great fans, I'm now in hospice care, and doing well, and appreciating your cards and letters..."
JESUS. His own people faked him writing that, when he was probably comatose.
And these RIP comments and postings?
Who is doing this? WHITE idiots. WHITE people are still dominating the Internet, and WHITE people are the ones who are pretending they LOVE the fucking BLUES and, of course, JAZZ.
What a load of crap. Even people who know that the great Mick Jagger loved himself some Muddy Waters or BB or whoever, and Dylan-freaks who ADORE him and know that he couldn't get enough of Blind Boy Blind...NEVER listen to that shit. The great CLAPTON put out a record saluting Johnson and people said, "Go back to moping about your dead kid, or wanting to fuck George Harrison's wife."
White people FEIGN liking the old blues guys. All they really want is Jimmy Page fucking with that shit.
My memory of THIS guy, is hauling his obese (didn't have diabetes) body into a chair, and being boring for whatever the time limit was by grunting or, more likely, just torturing a few guitar strings for a while.
If you want me to say something NICE, I'll say that guys like THIS, are marginally better than DRUM savants.
You notice Ringo and Charlie never interrupted a song for seven or eight fucking minutes of crashing and bashing like a berserk construction worker.
But headbanger morons can't get enough of some Ginger Fuckhead creating an Excedrin Headache by flailing away endlessly.
Who listened to THIS GUY?
The same liars who said R.I.P. about Ben E. King and Percy Sledge?
"Ohhh, ohhh, the passing of a legend...the real deal...." Oh shut the FUCK UP, when was the last time you played either of those guys? Did you BUY one of their albums? Did you even BUY their one fucking hit song on 45 rpm? "Stand By Me?" "When a Man Loves a Woman?"
How many bullshitters are sobbing about THIS guy today, and solemnly leaving an R.I.P. because some sanctimonious phony put a picture of him on their FARCEBOOK page?
Did any of them say "I have all his albums"? NO.
They just want everyone to think, "Oh, here's a white guy who KNOWS the black music." And that isn't true. Not at all.
These middle-class cheese-faced bread-assed white morons, they'll sit there nodding their heads, with that "oh yes, I get it, I get it..." expressions as they listen to that shitty DELTA BLUES garbage, or inhale a side of THELONIUS. Oh...FUCK YOU ALL. You fuckers don't live in Mississippi. You don't have any black friends, either.
THIS guy lived to be 89, which is more than I'M gonna do. He lived a long life and made some bucks, and if he wasn't such a fatso he probably wouldn't have had diabetes, which didn't interfere too much with his getting to be 89.
Like George Foreman with that hamburger grill, THIS guy got a lot of money putting his name on a restaurant chain, a tourist trap enterprise that charges a fortune for meals, and books a lot of terrible music at high prices.
I didn't care for his stuff, which is ok. But to read all this hypocrite shit from fakers? That's not ok.
A big FUCK YOU to these assholes who are lying and leaving "Oh, great artist...what a loss" when they couldn't name TWO fucking songs he ever did. They can't point to ONE item of his that they ever bought.
What they're doing is NO tribute at all to King, it's just trying to show that they're cool, and the cheapest way is to pretend to be into THE BLUES GREATS or the JAZZ LEGENDS.
