Geez, I thought it was about the Blues hockey team. Steyn you loser, quit the bait and switch crap. The Blues is da Blues. :)
Mark Steyn, the only person I know that takes 20 minutes to make a point that any normal person can do in 20 seconds.

Thanks for always posting these! I love that song, had some real stomping version on a tape a friend made me back in the day. Don’t know who it was, but it really rocked.
I am married to a St Louis girl. My father in law grew up on Kingshighway on the south side and would sit outside the Catholic church to greet Stan Musial as he came out.
There is a lot of crime and suffering in parts of the city, but it is a lovely place with a lot of history and culture.
The St. Louis Blues--Charlie & His Orchestra (1941)
A Negro from the London docks sings the blackout blues:
I hate to see the evening sun go down.
I hate to see the evening sun go down.
'Cause the Germans, they done bombed this town.
Feeling tomorrow like I feel today.
Feeling tomorrow like I feel today.
I'll pack my trunk, make my getaway.
That Churchill, that man, with his wars and things
Was brought around by his apron strings.
Weren't for Churchill and his bloody war,
I wouldn't feel so doggone sore.
Got the blackout blues, blue as I can be.
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea.
He wont' let folks live as they want to be,
Doggone it!
Nice. Thanks.
When I was 12 years old or so, living in west Michigan, I used to tune my radio to AM 1120 KMOX in St. Louis on winter nights to listen to the late great Dan Kelly broadcast St. Louis Blues ice hockey (this was right after they were formed as an expansion team). Their broadcasts used to start out with a stirring rendition of the St. Louis Blues; it caught my imagination and I still think of those broadcasts fondly today.
