or so they announced this week. 70 years after he died.




In other news, nobody cares about the fucking Grammys anymore.

...right after Eric Clapton pisses on it. Oh sorry that was mean of me, wait, no it wasn't.

He didn't even make it to age 30 and only had 29 recorded songs.

But hey, old white guys like me still like him, so give him his grammy.

I like Blind Lemon Jefferson a little but more, but Johnson's songs still stand out today. I still slap them on mix cds in the midst of new songs and they don't sound decrepit in the least.

Well, he got a grammy.

If that ain't proof that he sold his soul to the devil, I don't know what is.
