Hey, Pig. Whatcha doing?
“I’m jus’ singin’ my blues.”
What do you have the blues about?
“You name it! The ol’ Pig’s got all kinds o’ troubles! Mostly havin’ t’ do with the subject o’ womens!”
Can’t find a girl?
“No, the problem is that I can! My rap is too damn strong!”
It’s a good rap.
“You know it is, but it gotta be deployed real judicious-like. Otherwise, you got womens all over town, all of ’em expecting your juices! A man can get all squoze out that way, you know?”
I do, Pig.
“Who’m I foolin’? The ol’ Pig got hisself some Cadillac problems. Kids starvin’ in China and whatnot.”
Good to keep some perspective.
“I do! Funniest thing, tho…”
What?
“Goddamn, I still got the blues!”
God bless you, Pig.
“I’m sure he will, when He gets around to it.”
This came up in my YouTube feed an hour or so ago. The whole playlist is great, but here is Pig singing Mr Charlie on Beat Club. Someone associated with show has started a channel that is posting whole shoots with just the blue screen and no stupid graphics. I can hardly wait until the Black Sabbath shoot comes out:

The whole playlist is cool:

They also had a couple of videos of the Superfly era Curtis Mayfield on Beat Club. It’s great:

YouTube Screwed up my links: I meant to post the second video, but it posted the playlist twice. Oh well, go watch all of them. It’s about over a hour of the Dead o Europe 72 tour.

There is a fender tweed briefcase in those shots..
72, I did not know the briefcase was around at the time, it probably held harmonicas for pigpen or something.
Mr Charlie, 2:13,
