All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

John Jackson: The Blues
True story:
John Jackson came to one of my yard sales, back in 1998, I think. I had no idea who he was! I found out later, of course.
He bought one of my father's most beat-up old coats and an old suitcase, just as beat up. I thought that I was doing a homeless guy a favor by coming down on the price. I found out a few weeks later just who had visited my yard sale, and he and I had a great discussion about playing Scott Joplin's music.
John Jackson is recognized today one of the most famous singers of the Piedmont Blues.
Oh that's nice stuff indeed.
