Has anyone ever heard of Muddy Waters.? If you mix earth and water together you may get watery mud. And if this is a new development attributed to the construction of data centers then how did that guy from a long time ago get the name.

Oh I’ve heard of Muddy Waters all right...... But I was referring to the song by The Standells.....Dirty Water.

RE: earth and water....

The real Muddy Waters (McKinley Morganfield) used to play in the dirty river bank of the Mississippi River and then would come in for dinner. His grandmother would shake her head and say “Okay, muddy water, you get washed up before dinner.” Called him “muddy” for a time.
The “s” was added later. 🎸

As they used to say about the Missouri river ...
Too thick to drink,
Too thin to plow.
