Cigarettes and coffee

This weekend I celebrated my birthday with Beverly Jo Scott. Not exactly WITH her, but I saw her perform at the AB in Brussels. B-day present from my dad. Funny thing is that last year some friends of mine also took me to see this Alabama-born blues singer. Also for my birthday. Maybe next year I'll just ask her to sing happy b-day at my party or something.

It was basically the same show, a tribute to the legendary Janis Joplin and her influences, and also to Jimi Hendrix, which was new, but then again, he's celebrating his 40th non-birthday. The Black Box Revelation proved they can do more than just wear extremely tight pants (procreating is for wuzzies) and kicked some guitar ass with their version of euhm.. A Jimi Hendrix song, for sure.


I wanted to share a song BJ sang the past few years, it was a favorite of Janis Joplins, and the original is by mister Otis Redding. It's about two lovers, working hard to build a future, so he's working very early shifts and she's working very late. The only time they can sit together and talk and just be together is at 3 AM. Over cigarettes and coffee.
