I just re-read The Day of the Jackal first published in June 1971. I found it interesting that (spoiler alert) the Jackal was buried in Paris' Père Lachaise Cemetery in an unmarked grave. That is the same cemetery where Jim Morrison of the Doors was buried there upon his death a month (July 1971) after that publication. Great novel BTW if you have never read it.

Saw the movie. Very good. Also saw The Day of the Dolphin, for which Day of the Jackal was prototype.

The movie did an excellent job of transferring the book to movie, even used the right Alfa Romeo Spyder as the book.

First off, credit to Eric Kretz and Dean Deleo. While he isn't a "monster" drummer, I always found his grooves and fills to be the perfect compliment to this group. Deleo because his distinct tone that gave STP that sound beyond Scott. I can't imagine it's easy being band mates with an all-timer like Weiland and his voice.
But this band, this performance and that fucking CROWD. While I have no desire to get older, sometimes I wish I had been of a more concert going age when these types of groups were at their pinacle.

After seeing your post on the FB Board I thought I would come here and see you had posted "Simple Man". Well since I always liked it, here it is anyway.?

Good song. There was also an "unplugged" version that was really good. Can't recall if it was Skynyrd or someone else that did it. I believe WSS does an unplugged version in his act.

Here is one unplugged version of it. I don't think I have ever heard of "Shinedown". But, they do a good job here.

I guess this song will be banned by Demented Joe and Kamaltoe soon
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnightBrown sugar
How come you taste so good?
Brown sugar
Just like a young girl shouldDrums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' where it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnightBrown sugar
How come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar
Just like a young girl shouldAh, get along, brown sugar
How come you taste so good
Ah, got me feelin' now, brown sugar
Just like a black girl shouldI bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnightBrown sugar
How come you taste so good
Ah, brown sugar
Just like a young girl shouldBrown sugar
Get down, get down
How come you taste so good
Ah, brown sugar
Get down, get down
Just like a young girl shouldAh, brown sugar
Get down, get down
How come you taste so good
Ah, brown sugar
Get down, get down
Moving around, moving aroundAh, brown sugar
Get down, get down
How come you taste so good
Ah, brown sugar
Get down, get down -
