It has all the best parts of an 80's "action" movie. Over the top villain. Over the top villain henchmen. Over the top lead villain henchman with one earring. A blind guy. Boobs. Love interest. Colorful half-rememberable characters. Big Foot. Blood. Tai Chi. Boobs. Cheesy, but still amazingly quotable lines. "Be Nice, until it's time to not be nice." and Boobs. Only once, but worth mentioning. I think it was required in 80's cinema.

How Could This NOT Start It?!
Roadhouse Blues - The Doors
I like my Doors like I like my women, shut and with facial hair.
Poke Is Not Kosher
Poke Chop Sandwich - ZZ Top
This will be the first of two These-Guys-Look-Like-Baddasses-Then-Like-Doofi pictures on this list.
This is what ZZ Top looks like now. Jammin beards. The only guy in the band without a beard, Frank Beard. Irony. So awesome they can actually right a pretty sweet song about a pork chop sandwich. Pork chop sandwich...sittin on a drum... *gasp* genius...
Both Kinds; Country AND Western
Sweet Home Chicago - The Blues Brothers
This is another movie you are seriously hurting your American Cultural identity by having not seen. It is just fantastic. They are on a mission from God. If you aren't American, and want to be, first, don't, second, watch The Blues Brothers and Road House. That's exactly what it's like here.
Seriously.
It's Called Rain Dumbass
The Sky Is Crying - Stevie Ray Vaughan
This is the second artist, first picture, of the These-Guys-Look-Like-Baddasses-Then-Like-Doofi pictures in this list. SRV is probably the only person that could sport an Amish style hat with Native American belt medallions around it and not get his ass kicked.
The reason for this is because he could play guitar. Really, really, really well. Even behind his back. As seen above. Like I said, badass. Shiny shirt and all.
No Lindsey Buckingham, You Can't Play With Us
Black Magic Woman - Fleetwood Mac
Yes this is Fleetwood Mac. But not as you know them. This was before Lindsey Buckingham and his girlfriend Stevie Nicks. Peter Green was the original singer for this band. Although I am glad this particular iteration of Fleetwood Mac didn't survive, when they go in to the shuffle at the end of this song, I lose it.
It is such a better version. Shitty recording. Better version.
Does it Flood In TX?
Texas Flood - Stevie Ray Vaughan
This is the way I like my SRV. He feels that shit. Look. At. His. Face.
Feelin'. That. Shit.
Everybody Played On This Damn Song
How Blue Can You Get - The Louisiana Gator Boys
This song is from The Blues Brothers 2000 movie. You really just need to watch the clip. Just about every famous blues artist is in this band.
My Favorite Blues Song
Blue Jean Blues - ZZ Top
Yep. That Goofy bunch is ZZ Top from the early, early days. That's all I can muster to comment about that. It hurts my heart a little bit.
Well that's all folks. How you enjoyed the blues. Although that would not make sense since they are blues. I'm going to be really honest here, writing "sense since" in that last sentence almost gave me a brain hemorrhage. I'm leaving now.
KKNY signing off.
