Howlin' Wolf and Son House have words

[RVA]

2 blues greats. Son House had a notorious drinking problem, and in this video, he is very drunk. He proceeds to heckle Howlin' Wolf, who is on stage. Mr,. Wolf retorts. It is said that Howlin' Wolf attributes his success partially to staying sober, with Son House being an example of the dangers of addiction.

Dangers of addiction is RIGHT -- Howlin WOlf was 6'6" and could (Im sure) put a beat down on ANY heckler .......much less a drunk one

I got me no money
cause I bought me some gear
found a five in my pocket
and bought me some beer
now I got me no money
ya know that it's true
so I lurk in the Tone Rooms
baby, that's blue.

My folks gave me a Howlin' Wolf album when I was a kid. He left such an impression upon me (along with Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters) that I included him in my song "Slide" that I wrote in 1998 but didn't record until 2011.
