The sound of Bobby “Blue” Bland.. I remember the Malaco Records commercials from childhood. I wanted to buy all those records so bad back then..but I was nine and I had no money..anyway; I have always loved Bobby “Blue” Blands’ voice.

The collapse of global investment firms, like BearStearn
Salmonella infested tomatoes, spinach, lettuce and whatever else they haven’t told us about yet.
