Above the following was writtien

ENTERTAINERS being displaced by the mediocre-but-free S/S types singing abt their navals, their great & sophisticated observations & conclusions abt injustice, their brilliant social wisdom & insight, or just their sex life or lack thereof.

Now the front end of this website pays tribute to a number of the great old blues legends, who wrote most of their songs about

...how miserable they were.

...how unjust the world is.

and especially, and in excruciating detail about

...their sex life and/or lack thereof.

Ah, but they were FOLK so I guess its different.
