Sunday we went to the Lowell Folk Festival, in the city where Jack Kerouac was born. While the event was winding down heavy rain hit, but before then I took a couple of videos. For my friends Bismo and Samjay, fans of the Blues, here is Mighty Sam McClain, who was featured in the dance pavilion.

Banana Fana Bo-Bam-a
This is so screwed up. A Hillary supporter, in Dearborn, Michigan who says she doesn’t trust Barack Obama because of his name:
“I feel John McCain is a true American and I want to support a true American,” she said.
But isn’t Obama a “true American?” she was asked.
“I don’t know,” she said after a measured pause. “I question it.”
Why?
“I don’t know — maybe because of his name?”
But gosh, what if she’s right? Obama rhymes with Osama, and Hussein is his middle name. That’s it! Barack is the missing Osama/Saddam link!
