With a groggy morning mind, and many edits, I’m reposting this;
Standing with Rosa
It happened in Memphis
Fifty years ago to the day
Now this world has not changed much
That’s what some people say
Gunned down where he stood there
One day after his great speech
He had gone to the mountain
With one last lesson to teach
Now where once we had champions
For equality and verity
We have only false prophets
Lacking hope and all charity
Who would lead us to chaos
Trading freedom for war
Prostituting our visions
Of what liberty is for
Let’s remember those days when
Humble folks took a stand
When the César’s and Martin’s
Marched for truth across the land

Prodigal Son was played pretty often on the phonograph at the Flames' Apathy House residence in Pacific Grove. I tried to play this on a classical guitar I'd gotten from a pawn in San Francisco.
I whiled and wasted a lot of time away because I had no teacher. I knew the open tuning to use for the song, but not having a thumb, it was impossible to deal with the bass string as Keith Richards did.
Jones at the time did not play guitar, but he later picked it up and has gotten quite good at it, apparently, though I have never had a chance to listen to him play.
Edit: The Jones tells me he's played for me before, so it's memory loss game time. He claims to have had Sympathy for the Devil down and that I thought it was pretty hot, if not the best I'd heard.

Jurors determined Adam Shacknai was responsible for the death of Rebecca Zahau, a woman found hanging from the balcony at a Coronado mansion in 2011.
This was the weirdest "suicide" I've ever heard of and the civil case jury agreed.
Could big money have been a factor?
"Adam Shacknai doesn't have money. This isn't about money," said C. Keith Greer, family attorney for the Zahaus. "It's about getting the sheriff's department to open this up, do their job. This clearly isn't a suicide."

For Ghost.

noun PSYCHIATRY - inability to feel pleasure.
[Click to View YouTube Video]Reading of English teachers reminded me of once upon a time being an "English major,"
the time-honored schtick of the rather tall and lately-besmirched author/raconteur Garrison Keillor.
"Schtickorax was suffering from anhedonia."
