“A great way to live…a tragic way to die” Thanks, Earl Nightingale. Reminds me of those drivers ed. films that scare you straight. I think the fatal mistake was breaking out the accoustic guitar and singing the complete Air Supply songbook. That just pissed God off.

Black witchcraft

“Macumba” on the Brazilian Sinter label. This is one of the most amazing covers. A real voodoo ritual complete with the rooster blood letting, the live snake, the priestess and her pipe and most disturbingly the man in a trance licking the blood from his hand. I’m spooked to even be writing about it. Curses!
