van is, was, and always has been one of the finest white blues singers ever. 
he is indeed an eccentric, but would rather have seen more of him and less of 
tom jones. it is in van's blood.
been enjoying yr takes on the blues series and was waiting til the end to put 
in my two cents, but will miss tonight's. scorsese's was in my opinion a hard 
act to follow, but have enjoyed each night, some more than others. 
scorcese has been quoted as saying, once they see you know what you are 
doing, they start try to tell you   what to do. so i shan't go into what i didn't 
like, but it has been a fresh meditation on the blues, it was good to hear the 
music, and i learned some stuff about bluesmen (and the occasional women) that 
i did not know. having thought about it, think farke-toure was more 
influenced by blues than an influence, tho the birth of the blues was from african 
parents. what else could it be?
glad it happened.
let me know what clint eastwood's is like.
