Heading down to a guest DJ appearance by ?uestlove at the Anchor Bar tonight and a full Roots show on Saturday. I imagine these guys can throw it down live, right?

Anyone seen 'em?

Roots is best watched backward so it has a happy ending.

Oh wait...you mean the band. Carry on.

They will throw down, it's a group that if you get a chance to see live, there is no excuse not to go see them.

Don't think I missed that, man. Don't think it at all.

?uestlove drank a Diet Dr. Pepper in honor of Sarah Palin.

Also covered "I'm a Man" "Bad to the Bone" "Sweet Child O' Mine" and a couple more John Lee Hooker tunes.

Muddy Waters' "I'm a Man" or Spencer Davis? both are excellent.

bad to the bone is a Hooker song anyway, basically. it's Hook's boogie. much like La Grange...it's Hooker.

i know it's Muddy, but this some great stuff.

I've seen them 4 times, it's a good show. Back in '01 I saw them with Mos Def, that show kicked junk.
