The word "funk", once defined in dictionaries as body odour or the smell of sexual intercourse, commonly was regarded as coarse or indecent
20) Lightning Round Question--
What is a mojo and why won't it work on you?
So what is a mojo? It is, in short, the staple amulet of African-American hoodoo practice, a flannel bag containing one or more magical items. The word is thought by some to be a corruption of the English word "magic" but it more likely is related to the West African word "mojuba," meaning a prayer of praise and homage. It is a "prayer in a bag" –
It won’t work on you because your mojo is stronger

You seem to be totally unaware of the DooWop musical groups which dominated the R& B genre during the 1950s. |

Why wouldn't Ravi Shankar have played Woodstock. He and his sitar music were very popular with the pot-smoking hippie generation of the 1960s |

Most people I've met who really listen to him are older, serious hindus with no sense of humor (actually, the only people I know who listen to him are old hindus)...but then I remember the Beatles seemed to like him a lot.
MAN, I wish I could have gone. Hendrix, Sly, Creedence, Simon and Garfunkel....aargh! |

"Why wouldn't Ravi Shankar have played Woodstock. He and his sitar music were very popular with the pot-smoking hippie generation of the 1960s."
He also did some work with John McLaughlin. McLaughlin took vocal lessons in Indian music as well as lessons with Ravi Shankar. When the Mahavishnu Orchestra folded, McLaughlin formed the group, Shakti, with the South Indian violinist, L. Shankar (Ravi's nephew) and other Indian musicians. It was some very interesting eclectic music.

Yep. He helped popularize the sitar in pop music.
You seem to be totally unaware of the DooWop musical groups which dominated the R& B genre during the 1950s.
I wonder why that is? Probably because I was 10 years old in 1960--unlike some people we know.
Put something up here about the Spaniels, the Orioles, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, etc etc. |

It was YOU who declared yourself an expert on the musical trivia of the 1950s, chrishayden. And one doesn't have to be born during the era of a certain type of music to be an afficiando of it. If that was the case, there would be no classical music fans. |

I'll bet that Beethoven was a heckuva guy. You should share some of your personal reminisces sometime-- |

Just the kind of side-stepping I would expect from somebody who brags about being a trivia expert on something that he's not a trivia expert on, and who thinks that I am a contemporary of 250-year-old Beethoven. |

And speaking of trivia, pop vocalist and grammy winner, Norah Jones, is Ravi Shankar's out-of-wedlock daughter. |

(Just like you to try to drag Shankar and Jones' names through the mud. What does that have to do with anything? What have they ever done to you?
Does your mind Always turn to the salacious? |

Better to listen to the two albums and watch the movie. |

Why is revealing the origin of the genes that Norah Jones is proud of, draggin her name through the mud, chrishayden? Weren't you and your sanctimonous self the one who was just saying that nowadays unwed births have lost their stigma? YOU REALLY CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT! |
