Bruce Springsteen played #JazzFest in 2012 and told the audience: "Back in the early '70s we played on the same bill. Asking the good Dr. John to come join the E Street Band. Hey Mac!"
#DrJohn sang and played the classic: "Something You Got" with The Boss. Happy Birthday Bruce!
"This is not the land of milk and honey
This is the place where people sell their souls out for money
You got to keep on keepin on and glowin"
- Glowin' from #DrJohn's epic album "Babylon" (1969) #MusicMonday

"They call me Dr. John known as The Night Tripper
Got my satchel of Gris-Gris in my hand
Day trippin up and back down the Bayou
I'm the last of the best they call me the Gris-Gris man"

Dr. John talked to @RollingStone about New Orleans 10 years after Katrina:
"On my album The City That Care Forgot there’s a song called My People Need a Second Line. I think we need a second line for all of the people that’s not living here no more."
