Big Mo Blues Show KCCK

I heard this spiritual by Mavis Staples, “Creep Along Moses.” It was on the Big Mo Blues Show on KCCK. It rocks, like just about everything Mavis does.

Glue Myself to My Biography8 Jan 2026
There’s a reason for why I so often tell Dad jokes. In keeping with my post from yesterday about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s biographies: I glued myself to my autobiography. You may not believe it, but that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. We’ve ordered a couple of biographies about Dr. King. One … Continue reading "Glue Myself to My Biography"
A Few Thoughts About the New Biography of Dr. Martin Luther King, “King: A Life”7 Jan 2026

Svengoolie Movie: “Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb”4 Jan 2026

Sena watched a little of it and probably not … Continue reading "Svengoolie Movie: “Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb”"
Big Mo Blues Show and The Elvis Connection3 Jan 2026
The Big Mo Blues Show was really interesting last night. I’m just going to highlight a number done by John Hiatt called “Riding with the King.” The lore about this that I picked up from the internet is that Hiatt originally wrote and sang the song for the 1983 album Riding with the King. It … Continue reading "Big Mo Blues Show and The Elvis Connection"

Plan for retirement, even if you don’t plan to retire. This means sound financial planning, developing other interests, and nurturing your relationships with significant others. Retire, even if you are not retired. Take enough time off periodically, and completely, with no connections to work, so that you can feel emotionally free from concerns about patients and practice. Of course, there is no reason to retire if you really love your work and relationships just as they are.-H. Steven Moffic, MD See original article in Psychiatric Times
