OK, I shall setlle the argument right here and right now. I’m attracted to the legendary ladies of Fanny, but Freddy’s legacy is beyond compare.

I’m not talkin’ mortgage crisis stuff here, I’m talkin’ rock and roll.

Fanny are the Godmothers of Chick Rock. That’s right - read about ‘em here…

The Godmothers of Chick Rock

OK - you know Freddy. Freddy Mercury. His band Queen were the top performing live act worldwide in the 1970’s. They kept it going in the ’80’s too, until that Flash Gordon soundtrack came along. Personally, that’s when I quit listening, then I returned to their classics…I still love this band - I saw the redux version with Paul Rodgers 3 years ago and they certainly rocked.

In the current mortgage controversy, neither Freddie nor Fannie is a winner. However, today - you win because you are watching obscure rock videos on a real estate website … A welcome break.

So my business partner Greg said - “dude, you haven’t posted since July 7! Come on now…

I said, Greg 11,533 people hit my Trulia page last month. I’ve been busy. We’ve been writing contracts day after day. Our listings are getting shown (except for the Arizona Loft) all the time. Cut me a break - it’s just a blog.

Regardless, that’s no excuse. So that being said, stay tuned. We will be talking about real estate.

Y’all say a prayer for the Memphis Soul family, who have lost one of the greats - Isaac Hayes. Jesse Jackson introduces this video from Wattstax, a 1972 concert held in LA. Since Isaac was a key component of the Stax records family, he gets front and center here with a smokin’ version of the Theme From Shaft.

We will talk about Intown Atlanta real estate in the next post…

My reign continues at Trulia Voices.

This woman in California has answered nearly 2500 real estate questions online over the past couple of years, in her spare time.

As of this morning at 4:16 a.m. I’ve answered 203 real estate questions related to Atlanta since December 19, 2007 and I’ve been noted as having “useful answers” 110 times.

None of this would be possible without Rev. Bubba, my IT guru.

I would also like to thank Deryk Harper, a superb Alpharetta-based real estate agent with Keller Williams, who introduced me to Trulia Voices.

Deryk is also a rock and roll expert, like me.

This means, just like last time, when I announced on April Fools Day that I was the Top Fool - I ain’t “fuh, fuh, fuh foolin!”

Today - I ain’t fuh, fuh, fuh foolin’, once again - I’m going to see Stevie Winwood and TP and the HB’s this week in Deryk’s hometown at the new Verizon Wireless shed, so lets celebrate my #1 status with Stevie’s first band - here’s the 17 year old Stevie doing “I’m A Man” on German TV 41 years ago.

Today is a day to look ahead and a day to look back.

Thanks to all of you who have served your country in uniform.

Looking ahead, I see great accomplishments in the midst of massive, paradigm shifting change.

Looking back I see the same thing.

Like this accomplishment by Soul Brother #1.

I love my daughter Kaylie - she is barely 4 months old, but she is the most positive and remarkable person that my wife and I know. What a blessing.

Since I’m feeling blessed, why focus on real estate today? Lets celebrate Fatherhood by picking a few hit videos for posterity.

Lets start with The Godfather of Soul - this is an edited video of amazing dancing. I love the Godfather.

My Dad, Bo Taylor died in 2003 after suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease. His favorite singer was Eddy Arnold - a country singer who almost single-handedly led the “Countrypolitan” sound of the middle twentieth century. Here he is singing in 1973 with the smokin’ hot Lynn Anderson. I loved my Dad, and he thought Lynn Anderson was sexy. Here’s to you, Bo.

If my lovely 17 week old daughter grows up to be a famous rockstar, then I want her to rock like the sisters from Heart. This song, “Barracuda” is always on the top 50 list for me.

Happy Father’s Day.

Almost 80 full years on the earth. He is the Architect of Rock and Roll.

I just discovered this video - never seen this footage before - what a showman. So over the top.

Hey Bo Diddley!
