I just saw that he’s coming to DC soon. Has anyone seen him recently? ---

He’s on the wrong side of 40 and his biggest “feud” has been with a commentator. Regardless of who is in the ring with him, the workrate is gonna be crap and he’s probably gonna put himself over. Save your money and see an ROH cast instead. …what? ---

Unless he brings back his “GI Bro” persona I’m not interested. Maybe he could get Robert Fuller to morph into Colonel Parker again. What? You didn’t think I was up on my wrasslin’ history? ---

He’s great on the 2013 Crossroads show, has that big giant grin the entire time, like he’s enjoying it and he knows you are too. I can’t find a good clip on youtube from that show, but Time Is Tight was really good. ---

Looking at youtube, it looks like he puts on a sedate show with a low-key performance, but with the musicianship you’d expect of a band who’s been performing for 50 years. I know Dunn has passed and Cropper isnt’ always with him, but I didn’t see any youngsters in his band, and they look equally experienced.

It was a pretty good show. During a lull I called out, “Play ‘The Cool Dude’!,” but he ignored me. Too bad - I love that song: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booker\_T.\_Jones
