Eric Clapton had huge hits with "Cocaine" and "After Midnight." Lynyrd Skynyrd made "Call Me the Breeze" a classic. J.J. Cale wrote all three, and stayed in the background.
Here he is with Clapton at Crossroads, 2004, playing "Call Me the Breeze" himself.

SNL in 1991.
Mocking the unintelligibility of blackspeak, casually using an anti-gay slur that can no longer be uttered in public anymore, ethnic stereotyping, and barely-concealed misogyny.
There once existed a time when comedy wasn't flattened or constrained by scolds.

NFL Films' Steve Sabol recounts several of the antiquated stadiums — and often impossible-to-believe playing and practice conditions — of the American Football League during the 1960s.

July 1st 1995 Remembering Robert Weston Smith he passed away this date at the age of 57 , born in Brooklyn, New York on January 21, 1938. After selling encyclopedias and Fuller brushes door-to-door, Smith attended the National Academy of Broadcasting in Washington, D.C. In 1963, Smith took his act to the border when Inter-American Radio Advertising's Ramon Bosquez hired him and sent him to the studio and transmitter site of XERF-AM at Ciudad Acuña in Mexico, a station across the U.S.-Mexico border from Del Rio, Texas, whose high-powered border blaster signal could be picked up across much of the United States. In an interview with writer Tom Miller, Smith described the reach of the XERF signal: "We had the most powerful signal in North America. Birds dropped dead when they flew too close to the tower. A car driving from New York to L.A. would never lose the station." RIP Wolfman Jack
