On Friday, Honeydew Jackson played a blues show that filled Chicago's heart with an unusual joy. Generational Blues at the Hideout is a special occasion indeed. The lingering fact that "Honeyboy" Edwards learned to play with Robert Johson back in the Mississippi Delta was the proverbial icing on the cake - if you will grant us this crude aphorism.
Something was troubling on Waubansia Avenue though. In the bathroom of the Hideout there is a poster explaining "interesting facts" along with the tidbit that you forget 80% of what you learn each day.
Among many, here was one of the facts that stood out:
"The average life of a major league baseball is 5-7 pitches."
We're not financiers, or mathematicians, but please feel free to spot the lapse in judgement.
