F*ck me but this is depressing. We lose James Cotton, Chuck Berry, and now Lonnie Brooks. He was one of my favorite Blues men. He always put on a great, high-energy show. The Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Tour with Lonnie, Koko Taylor, Katie Webster, Elvin Bishop, and Lil'Ed was one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Well, bugger me. I am going to call in sick to work for tomorrow and spend the tonight listening to music.
