Since we are locked down (some of us,) let Joe Walsh give you some ideas of what to do...
Waffle Stomp...you might know it from Fast Times

"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity." - Martin Luther King, Jr

you know some, like Ray Charles, never respected Elvis because he claims he ripped off the black man's music. What ever your opinion on the matter, that fucker could flat out sing!

I get that in the era it was easier for him than other artists like Ray Charles because of his color.  But that should not take from his ability to sing.  I personally believe Michal Jackson was a pedophile and R kelly is as well but I still sing along to Billy Jenne and I believe I can Fly.  So him copying the style and sound of ethnic music, if true, seems like a lesser crime to me.

And can a musical style be owned? That's always my beef with those that get haughty about it.

Used to sing this with my girls just about every night before bed.  They got to choose between this twinkle little star, zippity do dah, and I won't back down.  Weird combo I know but this one got chosen a lot  ;P

Meant to post this yesterday (missed it by minutes)...another soulful voice gone. Posted in the Top Five Thread a couple months ago my Top 5 Bill Withers tunes, and this was/is my #1. Rest in Peace.
