Spoiler: The Real Choice

Day 9: Born Under a Bad Sign
Cursive - I Am Gemini

I was born under the astral sign of Gemini. It could be considered bad because of the evil twin. I also think its bad because I'm much more of a Taurus.

Day 9
Born Under a Bad Sign

Something about the chorus of There Ain’t no Chain Gsng played to today’s theme to me:

There ain't no good in an evil hearted woman,
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James,
And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi,
And there ain't no good chain gang.

Johnny Cash - I Would Like to See You Again

This was the spring of Johnny's career, and it's on a nice pale pink wax that makes me think of planting flowers.

Day 9: “Born Under a Bad Sign”

William Bell - Bound to Happen



William Bell wrote the lyrics to Born Under a Bad Sign, and since I don’t have that Albert King album, I thought I’d go with the guy who co-wrote that song and the album that features his version of it:

According to Robert Gordon, Albert King was illiterate and they recorded Born Under A Bad Sign before he had learned the lyrics. As a result Bell was in the studio whispering the lyrics to King right before he sings them.

Spring is one of the four seasons
Four seasons recorded "walk like a man"
Bruce has a track on this album with the same name

Day 9: “Born Under a Bad Sign”

I love the original version, but Jimi's version on this album takes me to another level. And if you don't have this in your collection, you need it.

Jimi Hendrix - Blues

Missing out on the brownie points

The "brownie points" are a heinous lie concocted by the unsavory to win your trust under false pretenses.

I had no idea @Lee Newman lived at Mar-A-Lago.
