Ray


Here's the poster art I keep seeing for the new Ray Charles flick. You know what I like about it? The signature. Ray. It's very nice. Do you suppose that's Ray Charles's actual signature? Do you think that poor blind man could actually write? Do you think he could write in such elegant cursive?

Or do you think the more likely scenario is some publicity humper at Universal Pictures, and about a thousand other people, are too damned stupid to see the fucking irony in what they've created?

However, we at Velociworld are thorough, if nothing else. I live about 20 minutes from Ray's alma mater, the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. I may just drove over this weekend and scope things out. Maybe Ray left his signature on a bathroom stall, or something. Right next to the cane rack.

Or above the fire hydrant and leash-cleats.

...definitely blame it on the publicity humper.

(Although I'd be interested to see what his autograph actually looked like.)

Took a coulple of cuties from the FSftDaB sailing once. That was interesting, and a GREAT TIME!

One of my greatest regrets is not attending his concert just a couple of months before he died.

I guess I figured that there'd always be another chance.
