I finally saw the movie "Ray" the other night on HBO. I rather liked it, but I think everyone did. I had never been the biggest Ray Charles fan, or I just didn't know I was a fan. A couple months ago my boss walked into my office to hear Ray Charles on the radio (they were just playing him on the college station web broadcast that I always leave it on).
"I didn't know YOU liked Ray Charles?!" she said. She thinks she has the market on retro-cool because she's 30 and I'm in my twenties.
"Uh, it's just the radio," I mumbled the words because I want to slap her fat face whenever I look at it. It's one of those can't-tell-if-it's-lard-or-down's-syndrome kind of faces.
It seems that movie started a Ray Charles revival. If you like Ray's music I have a couple recommendations for you.
1. Otis Redding- If you only know "Dock of The Bay" or "Respect" then you are seriously missing out. I doubt that is the case, however, because I have seen a lot of discerning musical critics here at Ubersite. So, assuming you're not culturally dead, I don't really need to go into it.
2. Clifton Chenier.
Clifton Chenier is revered as the "King of Zydeco", a music known for its up-tempo, dance-ability, and the squeeze box. If you have never danced to a Zydeco band while they play live- it's worth looking into. True zydeco dancing, is an up-tempo waltz, similar to the Texas Two-step, except the female straddles and rests on the leg of her partner. It's pretty hot just to watch. Clifton wrote and recorded many zydeco classics until his death in 1987, but he recorded so much more than that.
Clifton Chenier was the first to combine southern blues with zydeco. He recorded many tracks which only differ from traditional blues because the squeeze box is the lead instrument. My favorite tracks include:
I'm Coming Home
Things Ain't Like They Used To Be
Jole Blon
Blues de Ma Negress
Bon Ton Roulet
I'm A Hog For You
Black Snake Blues
Josephine Par Se Ma Femme
All Night Long
These are just a few of his many blues recordings. His tracks are perfect for broken hearts and rolling around naked with someone sexy.
There are hundreds of excellent blues, rhythm & blues and soul artists to listen to. I am most familiar, though, with Clifton. He has a powerful cadence in his voice which draws you in. Anyone who loves blues will love Clifton Chenier and you can get a free listen at this website:

I couldn't find my favorite Clifton page that plays "I'm Coming Home"- I think they took it down.
If you already knew how great he was, good on ya.

I am not hiding behind a curser, though I'm not silly enough to get into something like Shlongy and Swampy did with you. However I'll probably be at the Austin Ubercon and you are more than welcome to take up any issues you have with me there.
As for missing my ex-wife, yes, indeed, I do miss her a great deal. But at least I had something worth missing once. 37 is old? I suppose it is. Ah well, you'll be there someday too.
Boy.

One post per day, cuntrag. Jesus H. Roosevelt Cheeeriiiiiiist I don't like you, boy.
---------------------------------------------
You are a bitter old man pining for your ex-wife who moved on to bigger dicks long ago. Pretty soon you'll die and no one will remember you, so you might want to get a better attitude in the mean time. I'll post as many fucking submissions as I want, old man. Get your "boy"s out while your safe behind your cursor.
