Some thoughts

Robert Johnson has been widely regarded as one of the greatest blues musicians of all time. He is said to have sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads to receive his talent. When I think of Robert Johnson, I think of someone who lived almost in antiquity. What I find interesting is that he was born in May 1911. That means that Ronald Reagan was actually older than him. For some reason, to me, that is strange to think of. I can remember Ronald Reagan as President, as well as his passing. He is probably more popular across the board today than he ever was when he was alive. So for someone so current to be actually older than someone so ancient is neat, I guess.

Lean Cuisine has a commercial out now for some kind of chicken stir fry dish. One of the selling points is that it has "farm raised broccoli." How is that a selling point? Where else does broccoli come from? Does the Green Giant mowdown herd after herd of innocent free roaming broccoli? I wish George Carlin was still alive, I think he would have a field day with that one.

That's all for now.
