Goodbye, Children
First off, I just wanted to point out that Friday's post on the Rock-afire renaissance was followed, two days later, by this article in Wired news, which includes another trailer for the upcoming documentary. Just remember you heard it here first.
Much as I would love to crow about scooping Wired News, my heart really isn't in it since I learned that Isaac Hayes died yesterday at the age of 65. I was never a huge fan of Hayes, but he was certainly cool enough to deserve a brief tribute here.
As a producer at Stax Records, Isaac Hayes was one of the driving forces of soul music. His 1969 album "Hot Buttered Soul", besides having one of the all-time great titles, set the standard for 1970s R&B. But of course, no matter what Mr. Hayes will always be remembered for two monumental achievements:
1. Making a guy just walking down the street impossibly badass.
Daaaaamn right.
2. Being the greatest elementary-school cafeteria worker there ever was or ever will be.
