First off, the man is my god. He's my generation's Hendrix. And the people who hate his music just because it's minimalistic (which totally was NOT his goal to begin with :|) are kinda illegitimate to me. Listen to Son House, or Robert Johnson, or any of the pioneering Delta Bluesmen and say they sucked and don't deserve artistic respect and I'll call you an idiot. Christ, Led Zeppelin riffs were many times extremely simplistic in nature. Of course Jimmy Page was terrible, too. Secondly, I plan on going to the Memphis show, too, Peppermint. See ya there.
