Obviously, this song takes me back to high school.
Let me set the scene for you.
My diminutive brown friend David and I are in my bedroom playing K’NEX and listening to Robert Johnson (as you do). Now that might SEEM kind of pathetic, but bear in mind that we had decided to take a night off from boning fine ladies so we could just relax.
Next door, my sister and her hot friend Taylor are doing shots and talking about boys or whatever. At one point Taylor comes into our room, quickly takes stock of the situation, and asks us in her best Mean Girls voice...
"Uhhh, what are you guys doing?"
My gut reaction was, "Fuck you, we're snapping plastic rods together to form structures and listening to a dead black guy enunciate poorly. What are you doing that's so cool and great?"
Then it hit me.
She's out there touching dudes' dicks.
We're in here playing with toys, and guys are out there getting their dicks touched.**
Guys that we think we're cooler than.
Taylor was right.
What the fuck were we doing?
She left us hanging with that question and went off to some party with my sister. Meanwhile, David and I picked our vaginas up off the floor and put the finishing touches on our ferris wheel.
As to how any of this relates to the song I posted, well both Bukka White and Robert Johnson were Delta bluesman. Happy? Maybe from now on I'll just force insane connections between songs and blog topics.
THEORETICAL EXAMPLE:
This song has a guitar in it.
You know that reminds me of the time this girl reversed her decision to go with me to prom because she didn’t want to have a “shitty time” (true story)!
Get it?
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WRITE SONGS ON GUITAR, AND MANY OF THOSE SONGS COVER THE TOPIC OF HEARTBREAK!
