John Lee Hooker, Jr.
 

I work in the sales department of a local hotel, and he checked in with his band this afternoon. He's apparently been alternately berating the hotel staff, with incredibly foul language, then profusely apologizing. I saw him on camera throw a fistful of change at the front desk staff.

kick his ass

That's really sad. He, Albert King, and Lighting Hopkins are my favorite blues artists. :(

The general consensus here is that he's either insane or on drugs or both. He did give us a bunch of free passes to his show tomorrow night. I don't think I'm going to go.

:D

Sometimes the simplest answers are the best.

Do you mean John Lee Hooker (the legend) or John Lee Hooker Jr.? Because John Lee Hooker is dead.

John Lee Hooker. I didn't realize he was dead. I was into blues a lot in college and still listen to the CDs I have, but I don't know the ins and outs of the lives of the guys. I know that Elmore James is dead though. :)
