Feliciano!

*albums in response to the death of George Floyd*

Quick! I've insulted our president's dad with publicly available information, insulted our president by insinuating that he has been manipulated and lied to his entire life, and mark zuckerberg is going to turn all of my already public facebook posts over to the trumpstappo. What album am i going to listen to tonight?!

I have another Prism album. No, it might be bleh. Crystal Gayle, Nancy Sinatra, Linda Ronstadt? No. Um, um, Anita Kerr's The Sea with Rod McKuen using wordy things? No. Aw, man i don't know. I feel like i have to use this platform for good, for new experiences, for delving into some personal part if my past....

I know. It's time. It's time to admit it, and share it with you. I never heard a single nanosecond of anything by Jose Feliciano until after my dad died last September. There were Feliciano tabs in the case of that very guitar and i just ignored it. I knew he was blind, i knew everyone was blown away, and i just didn't even bother. Then one day a couple months ago i put it on and HOLY HAND GRENADES! Three is the number thou shalt count, and the number of Feliciano albums in my record collection thou shalt count is 3! With sharp pointy little teeth, even. If i had any flexibility left, i'd kick myself off the bridge.

Let's listen to his self titled exclamation point. Puerto Rico is a US Territory. The population of Puerto Rico are US citizens with no representation at the federal level, just like Guam and the Virgin Islands, or the residents of DC, the actual location of the federal government. Your so called awesome country discriminates against its citizens at the level of basic geography. I watched a youtube video of some absolute moron yell at a lady who rented a pavilion in a park for a birthday party for informing him thusly. I give everyone the same high level of respect, and a lot of you throw it in the garbage, piss on it, then complain that i handed you piss drenched food. And you have the audacity to get mad at me for saying "don't piss on your own food"?

All these yous and yours are obviously rhetorical. No wonder Julie Tippets said he was the tits, or the bees pajamas, or whatever word you whippersnappers use for awesome. Feliciano is amazing. He just detuned and retuned his low e string in the middle of And I Love Her! He's better than Mark Knopfler. Not that it's a competition, but damn!

I could have been listening to him for the better part of 30 years, and i hate me even more now. I suck. Feliciano is amazing.

Join me before it's too late. Jose Feliciano, copy and paste his name if you have to, just don't let president manchild demand the national guard hunt you down like dogs before you hear his version of Bacharach's Always Something There to Remind Me. I know you thought Naked Eyes wrote it, i already made a joke about it, just go find any good thing you can get your hands on before that moron forces SETI to call the Omicronian War Gods of the Ketsick galaxy to acid rain on us, or summons the ghost of George Lincoln Rockwell to the Rose Garden for tea, or who knows what nonsense.
