The Bushmen of South West Africa found a poison made from a grub worm. It is so deadly but slow acting that when they poison an arrow they put a few drops behind the arrowhead on the shaft.

I should mention that cooking the meat destroys the poison.

My favorite is “Lifeline”, but not the album version, the version from his “live” BBC special:

My 2nd favorite from that album is “Think About Your Troubles”. But just about anything from Harry suits me just fine.

Whites been harassing blacks for over 70,000 years? 😋

I guess Blacks need money from us...

Oh yeah...think about your troubles is really good too. Literally the whole album is excellent, not a bad cut on it from start to finish. Loved it at first listen.

I’ve been playing Nillsson’s song “Everybody’s Talkin” onstage for years. He did several other good ones too, aside from The Point. That’s the only one I played though.

Thanks; I’ll break out the Ricin, in that case.

I’m just an amateur, but I like to play his version of Ray Charles’ “Early in the Mornin’” on keyboards, because it’s such a simple arrangement that I can sing along with it but it still sounds pretty groovy.
