I really had no clue about the politics recently... just saw the mention of Ben on the news. There was nothing "REALLY" political about his resignation ... not considering Ben's sarcasm and wit ... more like...
"I ain't gonna work on Maggie's Farm no more... " - BD
A packed college bar (I prolly saw 1K shows there ... scheduled dozens of blues bands there myself later) Ben (standing) in front of his Baby Grand, Drums, and stand up acoustic bass.... The BF "Five" .... they freakin' rocked like I had never seen ..... Ben was a profane song writer ... punk
.... in yer face. Like Zevon ... live ... or early Elton when they "rocked out"...
Somewhere Ben has a pic he took that night.... he had everyone give him "the finger" and took it
!
I told his mom the next day .... yer boy is a "genius" ... but HAD no clue what was coming.... local musician ... good guy ... did OK imo ...
He prolly cares about politics about as much as I do....
