Today, my blue semi-beaded bus heads down Highway 61 to Issaquena County, Mississippi. This is where Muddy Waters was born. Muddy Waters is considered to be one of the greatest bluesmen of all time. This particular song, 'Got My Mojo Working', was actually written in 1956 by a woman named Ann Cole, but when Muddy Waters started playing it, it became quite popular.

The term 'mojo' has several different meanings, but in this particular song, the meaning is most likely sexual. This term has been used by many artists, including Jim Morrison, who nicknamed himself 'Mr. Mojo Risin''. Apparently, Jim lived up to it, too. In 1969, he was arrested for indecent exposure onstage during a performance in Miami... But, was it really indecent?? Just last week, two fans sent a letter to FL Governor Charlie Crist seeking pardon for this behavior so that Jim can be remembered for his music. The Governor is currently reviewing Jim's case...

What are your opinions on this?

I say, that which cannot be proven shall be forgiven... ;)
