I'm afraid The Casino has class. For real.

Here ya go, Detective Casino: James Brown & The Famous Flames on the T.A.M.I Show (@1964). It's a long video, but it's worth watching the whole thing.

Btw...Mick Jagger and The Stones were all watching JB from the stage-left (viewer's right) wings and they had to follow this performance.

An Independence Day Toast

Post by Dear Booze »

Here's to the privilege of raising our glasses in “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” We are grateful for unequaled liberties that allow us to freely and continually make terrible choices about work, women, and who we call "friend".

From the “mountains to the prairies” we are inspired by some of the most spectacular and diverse bars, taverns and pubs on our planet. From “sea to shining sea” we are privileged to spend a July afternoon in the perfect air conditioned darkness of a well-stocked drinking establishment of our choice. We have the freedom to choose which spirits move us and which lies to tell.

Here's to a celebration of being grateful for the ability to have a fully paid holiday and for the ability to say "fuck all the worries of the world".

Here's to Interstate 15, linking California to Las Vegas, which is paved with the blood of American Indians who gave their lives for the right of the white man to spend the weekend in a drunken stupor, gambling whoring and living in idiocracy.

Here's to the right of all Americans to sit in their own yards, yelling at their own kids while watching them blow off their fingers with fireworks purchased while on vacation in substandard countries such as Mexico, from real Mexicans, who were gracious enough to give up the great southwestern states for us to have these freedoms.

Here's to the right of all Americans to piss their pants and carry on conversations with nobody but themselves.

Here's to nosey neighbors who can't seem to mind their own fucking business.

Here's to our many different perspectives and ideologies. But, more importantly, here's to the ability to know which of those perspectives and ideologies are wrong and the freedom to tell the owners of those fucked-up viewpoints that they are wrong and to go fuck themselves.

Here's to stinky pussy.

Here's to “liberty and justice for all”.

Cheers big ears!
DRINK!

Oh honey, you need a drink. Try this one I got from the New Orleans restaurant, Brennans. I did sweetz it up a bit

4 oz. brandy
6 T. simple syrup
6 T. milk (real milk, not that 2% crap)
1-1/2 t. vanilla extract

shake over ice, and strain into a chilled glass. Grate a bit of nutmeg over. This is a breakfast drink, for folks who need a bit of an attitude adjustment, before facing the shitstorm day ahead of them. I drink mine with a straw.


Oh, and after recent events, I add 2 oz. vodka. Cheers! Drink, rinse, repeat!

I was intending to pick apart that original post and realized naw,,, he gets it pretty good. Although we did write a check for most of the southwest. If they want to buy it back I'm sure a good price could be negotiated. Yes, the right to be fucked up, succeed or fail. That is what it is to be American. We can choose to chase fame or failure and mostly we are allowed to go for it in either direction. Except you poor fuckers like my cousin in dry counties. He's an engineer, he plans his cross state purchases with an eye to lasting a week but my god.

So here's a stick in the eye to Bloomberg....we choose to decide what we will eat, drink or be merry with. Happy 4th everyone......freedom starts when you put your feet on the floor in the morning.

"Pain is sometimes the price of laughter."-Oggar

"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane"-Marcus Aurelius

And afterwords we can run amok! Or if you're too tired, we can walk amok.
