Well if that is true, Mr. King Lizard, can you slither over to the junior mining market and support it single handedly? Hah! I didn't think so. There, so it was a false claim. Carter was going to pass an act requiring "truth in song lyrics". This would have required the composer to write "I feel sort of like a lizard, all squirmy and slimey, but despite this creepy sort of feeling, I paradoxically also have a feeling of power, which makes me feel relatively socially and psychologically invincible, allowing me to overcome any sort of personal fears from sources which I don't care to mention." It is also probably true that yourself and perhaps the composer of that lyric, Willie Dixon (again, not his real name) did and do in fact sometimes use front doors, making that lyric, "an intent to mislead or a deceptive practice" The song amounts to outright bragging, and making claims which cannot be supported. Eating more chicken etc.. was there ever a contest to prove that? He had a colourful life. In his teens he had many scrapes with the law, and decided to hitchhike his way to Chicago. A giant of a man, he took up boxing, and was so successful as to win the Golden Gloves heavywight title in 1936. His progess in learning to play the bass was halted when he resisted the World War II draft, and was imprisoned for ten months. After the war, he re-united with his bass playing tutor, Baby Doo Caston, forming the Big Three Trio, who went on to record for Columbia Records. Dixon subsequently signed for Chess Records as a recording artist, but by 1951 he was a full time employee of the label. His relationship with them was sometimes strained, although his spell there covered the years from 1948 to the early 1960s. During this time his output, and influence was prodigious. Indeed, he once claimed "I am the blues." This may seem a little arrogant, but there is no doubt that he was one of the major influences on the genre, through his original and varied songwriting, live performances, recording, and copious production work. His double bass playing was of a high standard. He appears on many of Chuck Berry's early recordings, further proving his linkage between the blues, and the birth of rock 'n' roll. Wha, yeah! C'mon, yeah Yeah, c'mon, yeah Yeah, c'mon Oh, yeah, ma Yeah, I'm a back door man I'm a back door man The men don't know But the little girls understand Hey, all you people that tryin' to sleep I'm out to make it with my midnight dream, yeah 'Cause I'm a back door man The men don't know But the little girls understand All right, yeah You men eat your dinner Eat your pork and beans I eat more chicken Than any man ever seen, yeah, yeah I'm a back door man, wha The men don't know But the little girl understand Perhaps the artist's contrition about his blatant deception in lyrics made him compose the song "Missionary Man" as a confessional. Well I was born an original sinner. I was borne from original sin. And if I had a dollar bill For all the things Ive done Thered be a mountain of money Piled up to my chin... My mother told me good My mother told me strong. She said be true to yourself And you cant go wrong. But theres just one thing That you must understand. You can fool with your brother - But dont mess with a missionary man. ********************************
