  1. Damn – at freaking 70, Michael McDonald still has the pipes. He might want to consider backing away from the table though…

  2. The Doobie Bros, or maybe even Weird Al Yankovic could make a fortune doing a song based on China Grove, it could be a modernized and Parody version called CHINA JOE

    CHINA JOE

    When the drugs comes for the smartest man I know
    Down in a Delaware hole
    And the smoke is risin’ from another crack pipe
    ‘Round his big homes
    The people of DC are strange
    Voters are not proud of where they came
    Well, you talkin’ ’bout that China Joe (talkin’ ’bout that China Joe)
    Whoa, oh (whoa, oh), China Joe
    Well, the groper and the molester
    Lord, he’s a caution
    He is the talk of the town
    When the gossip gets to flyin’ and they ain’t lyin’
    When the Joe goes fallin’ down
    They say that the stairs are to blame
    And dementia is what they are sayin
    Well, talkin’ ’bout that China Joe (talkin’ ’bout that China Joe)
    Whoa, oh (whoa, oh), China Joe
    But every day there’s more inflation comin’
    The ways of an oriental deal
    The DOJ and his buddies with their BS Indictments
    You can even hear the crack pipe at night
    And though it’s a part of the Delaware State
    Democrats don’t seem to care
    They just keep on lookin’ to their free welfare
    Talkin’ ’bout that China Joe (talkin’ ’bout that China Joe)
    Whoa, oh (whoa, oh), China Joe

  3. True stories;
    I attended a middle school which had Patrick Simmon’s father as the principal at the time.

    Also, The Doobies reformed in the late 1980’s (post Michael McDonald), and I witnessed the free concert they did in downtown San Jose, CA near San Jose State University. They were followed by the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
