Only Papa Murphey's does this.

“Didn’t know Jimi Hendrix was black” is a surprisingly common thing

I'm not quite as bad as that, but I just realized I can't think of a single Jimi Hendrix song offhand, except for some reason that he covered Hey Joe.

Hey Joe's earliest recording is by The Leaves. Hendrix covered it.

Up until your post I thought SRV was maybe just another name for Ray Charles. Huh. Never gave much thought to it.

I contend to this day that SRV was actually Jimi Hendrix, having completely used the first body he got. That is why Eric Clapton had to kill him, to avenge being dethroned as the guitar god in a previous era.

I've been playing the video game Morrowind for the first time in a few years. The Empire in which the Elder Scrolls series is set uses a currency of gold coins called septims. In Morrowind some characters refer to coins called "drakes" which for many years I assumed was a separate currency unique to Morrowind province that was roughly equivalent to septims and they both got lumped together as generic "gold" in the player's inventory.

Septims have a dragon symbol engraved on them. "Drakes" is just a regional slang term for septims.

There is a whole history of the emporer and a lineage of dragons. It's pretty neat if you're in to that kinda stuff.

Yeah for a long time I thought beloved boomer burger-rocker Jimmy Buffet did really well for him self and wisely invested his music money into stocks. The same demographic of people seemed to speak highly of this buffet character so it was the same guy probably.

Jimmy Buffet did really well for himself by investing in the restaurant industry and making terrible music for Gen Xer burnouts.

He seems like a really cool dude but I hate everything he like except margaritas, eating fish and loving.

I mean he did live there from 1966 until his death so that’s not totally unreasonable. Unless you’re from Seattle in which case you’d better goddamn get it right.

I absolutely 100% never had a doubt in my mind that the judge from Night Court was Dana Carvey until that dude died and people were not mourning Dana Carvey.
I only watched it when I was very young, but even when I've glanced at pics, I was always like, "Oh that Dana Carvey, wonder what he's been up to".
