Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 04, 2019

Better than having the blues.

TIL it’s not the “boogie woogie blues”. Another Mondegreen bites the dust.

Perhaps you have to be that age, which is about 70. I do this sort of thing to my prim spouse on a daily basis, primarily to make her laugh if possible. And we’re both 71.

This concept of “reveal parties” is really getting out of hand!

It’s the “I’m not growing old without a fight!” syndrome.

If someone finds her sense of humor, please return it.

Poetic license

I wanna jump but I’m afraid I’ll fall, I wanna holler but the joint’s too small…

It’s never a good idea to tempt fate with boasts like that. The universe has a very ironic sense of humor.

Having experienced both pneumonia and flu in the last couple of years, I can attest that they are nothing to joke about at any age, so let us not tempt fate (but I do love that song)

Arlo is thinking “Horizontal Bop” ;)

Oooooooooweeeeeeeeeee – OoooooooooooooWeeeeeeeeeeeee BABY

Ah! Let the guy have fun once in a while.

Huey “Piano” Smith 1972

I wanna to jump but I’m afraid I’ll fall

I wanna to holler but the joint’s too small

Young man rhythm’s got a hold of me too

I got the rockin’ pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

“Define ‘sick.’”

Arlo’s got a fever, and the only cure is… more cowbell.
