Muddy Waters $700


Muddy Waters just sang,

On the seventh hour
Of the seventh day,
On the seventh month,
The seven doctors say
"He was born for good luck.
And that you'll see."
I got $700
Don't you mess with me.

If you can lay your hands on $700, nobody can fuck with you, don't even adjust for inflation. It's Nature's law.

I met Muddy Waters for one minute. He was sitting with David Johanssen at CBS records. I walked up and asked him for his autograph.

He signed his new album. I said thanks extravagantly and walked away. It's the only autograph I own and I've lost it.

As I'm leaving, David says, "Hey. What about me?"

I said, "Hey, let's not be greedy."
