Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning. Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
I see a sad-ass old white dude, wandering around the stage trying to pretend he's a talented black musician while hiding his baldness under a straw hat that fools no one.

Attaboy! Your snarky comments are typical of one who doesn't like any music made before 1999.

In March 1957, John Lennon, then aged sixteen, formed a skiffle group with several friends from Quarry Bank High School in Liverpool. They briefly called themselves the Blackjacks, before changing their name to the Quarrymen after discovering that a respected local group was already using the other name.[3] Fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined them as a rhythm guitarist shortly after he and Lennon met that July.[4] In February 1958, McCartney invited his friend George Harrison to watch the band. The fifteen-year-old auditioned for Lennon, impressing him with his playing, but Lennon initially thought Harrison was too young for the band. After a month of Harrison's persistence, during a second meeting (arranged by McCartney), he performed the lead guitar part of the instrumental song "Raunchy" on the upper deck of a Liverpool bus,[5] and they enlisted him as their lead guitarist.[6][7]
By January 1959, Lennon's Quarry Bank friends had left the group, and he began his studies at the Liverpool College of Art.[8] The three guitarists, billing themselves at least three times as Johnny and the Moondogs,[9] were playing rock and roll whenever they could find a drummer.[10] Lennon's art school friend Stuart Sutcliffe, who had just sold one of his paintings and was persuaded to purchase a bass guitar, joined in January 1960, and it was he who suggested changing the band's name to Beatals, as a tribute to Buddy Holly and the Crickets.[11][12] They used this name until May, when they became the Silver Beetles, before undertaking a brief tour of Scotland as the backing group for pop singer and fellow Liverpudlian Johnny Gentle. By early July, they had refashioned themselves as the Silver Beatles, and by the middle of August shortened the name to The Beatles.
It still isn't clear to me how 'Beatals' (their original name) was a tribute to Buddy Holly, perhaps a combo of 'beetles' and 'beatnik' -- this was still the beatnik era when the group formed. Holly's Crickets seem to provide the needed insect allusion.
Ummm, I dunno. It was cookin' right along until the vocals started up. Might have been better as an instrumental. But I never get tired of this song, from almost any cover.

Yeah, Webb's vocals are an acquired taste. Kind of like Leo Kottke. Man that guy can sure play guitar but I'm not a fan of his vocals.
I was mistaken about the original song - it was by Big Joe Williams, in fact Webb describes meeting him late in the song.
But I never get tired of this song, from almost any cover.
Same here. The site Secondhandsongs lists 172 versions of "Baby Please Don't Go" - I have maybe 9 or so in my media player.
I read somewwhere that it is the most covered song ever.

- Muddy Waters, studio - Muddy Waters, live - Van Morrison (my favorite version) - Ted Nugent, live - Beausoleil
I've been mulling over picking up the Checkboard Lounge recordings and have a small pile of Amazon digital credits burning a hole in my digital pocket, so just might pop for it.
Bought the armadillo Kottke album back in the '70s as I recall (and later another copy for my Dad), and one or two more after; I agree with you - his instrumental tracks ring my bell louder. "Best of Instrumentals" is his only digital album in my collection.
Is that the one from the mid 60's when he fronted the band "Them"?
Yeah, that one's good. I also like the Nugent version.
Glad you liked that DM cover.
Saw Kottke back in the mid 70's when I was stationed at Offutt AFB in Omaha. Great show.

Van Morrison is one of my all-time favorite musicians/songwriters,period.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
