It’s National Call Your Doctor Day. Or maybe just send him or her an email unless you really really need to call. Your doctor is probably a little busy to be answering the phone all day. Thinking about rock doctors and songs…Dr. John has been on a lot of minds lately. I saw a quote from Eric Clapton and he said that he didn’t think Dr. John would ever die. He seemed immortal. Brian May is actually a REAL doctor. It’s even on his Twitter handle. Humble Pie’s great song I DON’T NEED NO DOCTOR, Little Feat’s ROCK AND ROLL DOCTOR, Jackson’s DOCTOR MY EYES and so many others all leap to mind but this is the one I’m going to share right now. This album got me through some long nights in college.
