You know Wolf was a convicted murderer, which in any day doesn't really mean anything (20 percent on death row being wrongly convicted.) They used to let him out of prison to play gigs because he was great man

Have you tried Howlin Wolf? Back Door Man was not a Doors tune originally. Nor did The Cult write Smokestack Lightning. Lotta rockers covered Howlin Wolf. Pretty good stuff. I'm done messing up your wall with my thoughts. Enjoy your day. Or night.
