BBC Radio 2 is running a two-part documentary on the great man. The first part was last night Howlin' Wolf featuring comments from Bill Wyman amongst others, and is available online until next week.
The next part covers his impact on the British invasion bands, so should have some more Stones content. |

Bill has been making the rounds on radio a lot lately. He was on rockline twice last year alone. |

For all you Wolf fans...a good DVD to have is "The Howlin' Wolf Story: The Secret History of Rock n Roll". It has some outstanding footage and great pics...all in superb quality.
Netflix has it, but you can also get it cheap here:

Well, I always took Biggie's side just because I'd never heard HIS music... |

Contrary to popular belief, he was never a member of The Fat Boys. |

glencar, you could have gone to see Digital Underground in 1990, when Tupac was part of it, although Humpty Hump had the fame, the look and the single. |

He had quite a nose at the time. I wonder whatever happened to the likes of him and Jive Bunny?? |

Tupac is now considered a poet by some. I don't hear Robert Frost when I look at his lyrics though. |

Strictly for my N.I.G.G.A.Z. was the Mark Twain of the early 90's. |
