Tuesday Afternoon's JournalAbout Joe Cocker
There once was a fellow named Joe
Who reached a majestic plateau
In a music career
Spanning many a year
He was always a consummate pro
.
He was born in the land of Great Britain
Where many are openly smitten
With princes and queens
Who have cash in their jeans
And where drinking warm beer is befittin’
.
Vance Arnold is how he was known
When he started a band of his own
The Avengers were hot
People liked them a lot
Once they opened a show for The Stones
.
He embarked on a solo career
Playing clubs serving whisky and beer
He was singing the blues
And was paying his dues
On the path he was destined to steer
.
The Grease Band he later created
A group that became highly rated
When they started to play
In the U. S. of A.
But the travel was something he hated
.
With Mad Dogs and Englishmen Joe
Formed a band that earned plenty of dough
Leon Russell was part
Of the group from the start
Rita Coolidge was part of the show
.
With his singular voice and gyrations
Joe’s talent had no limitations
With success he was rife
He was bigger than life
And the darling of radio stations
.
Joe Cocker expired this day
But he’ll never out-welcome his stay
In our souls and our hearts
He is still on the charts
Like Jack Bruce and the late Marvin Gaye

Rolling Stones Saxophonist Bobby Keys Dead at 70
By Patrick Doyle | December 2, 2014
Bobby Keys, the larger-than-life saxophone player who toured with the Rolling Stones for more than 45 years and played on studio classics like "Brown Sugar" and "Live With Me," has passed away. He was 70.
"If you believe in the magic of rock & roll, which I devoutly do, it isn't in the individual," Keys told Rolling Stone in 2012. "I’ve played in bands with A-team players around, but unless they can play together, it doesn’t do any good."
"The Rolling Stones are devastated by the loss of their very dear friend and legendary saxophone player, Bobby Keys," the band said in a statement. "Bobby made a unique musical contribution to the band since the 1960s. He will be greatly missed."
“I have lost the largest pal in the world and I can't express the sense of sadness I feel, although Bobby would tell me to cheer up," Stones guitarist Keith Richards said in a statement. "My condolences to all that knew him and his love of music.”

exactly. Succintly put and easy (I hope) for anyone to understand. These comments by Chris Rock
I respect way more than the video about how not to get your ass kicked because it is not about NOT getting your ass kicked at all.
It is about HOW the PERSON in CHARGE handles their self.
That is the issue.
substitute sexism for racism and females for black people and it all becomes really, really clear.

bravenak, excuse me for this but, I have to jump off your post to point out how the two overlap.
Thank you for understanding.
