Enemy combatants are not American citizens and are not afforded American constitutional rights (well, until yesterday). But more to your comment, the presumption of innocence is not the key issue here. The issue is whether enemy combatants should be granted the privilege to lawfully object in U.S. civilian courts, under writ of habeas corpus, to being detained in the first place and for how long. If they are then brought to a criminal trial, you’re right; the burden of proof is on the prosecution, even without yesterday's Court decision.

It's apparent that I'm no authority regarding Blues music genealogy, and I certainly hope my original comments didn't give that impression. Nor am I a musician, just a huge Blues enthusiast. It makes me feel so good when I hear it, no matter how sad the subject. Please note that there are some websites posting false information. For instance, on one that I visited, the writing credit for "Hoochie Coochie Man" is listed as Elias McDonald. That's how I ended up transposing the wrong name. I didn't know it was indeed Elias McDaniel (a.k.a. Bo Didley). What makes it worse still is the fact that he passed away just a few short days ago. What a sad irony. Although I live in the Providence, RI area, I listen to WZLX all the time. For my taste in music, there are no decent stations here. "The Sunday Morning Blues with Carter Alan" is by far the best Blues radio program I've listened to in a long, long time. I'm happy that WZLX has picked up the mantle of its predecessors WBCN and WCOZ, and perhaps even WNBC in New York. I have fond memories of tuning in to them back in the late 70's and into the 80's. They provided my first introductions to Blues music. Now the music goes on and on… Thanks again. Peace and Blues to all! Chris Hey Dan,

The Bo Diddley tune he covered is "Before You Accuse Me." Bo Diddley's real name is Elias McDaniel, not McDonald. Willie Dixon wrote "Hoochie Coochie Man," although it was made famous by Muddy Waters. I had to look up the info in regards to your question on "Outside Woman Blues." You're right, it is credited to Blind Joe Reynolds. I'll correct this in the post. And thanks for filling in the blanks on all the covers I missed! By the way, WZLX, a Boston radio station, does a great Sunday Morning Blues show 9am-12pm on Sundays. I thought to mention it because I'm actually tuning in right now. Anyway, if you aren't in the Boston area, you can stream the radio station online too (http://www.wzlx.com/pages/66996.php). Take it easy, Dan Hey Chris - thanks for the comment!

I too was there for the inaugural Comcast Center event. Whatever was wrong with calling the venue "Great Woods"? I rather liked the name, and to this day, still cannot call it by any other. But whatever... Since his tour schedule was published and noting that a Great Woods stop would be made I had been considering indulging myself with perhaps a lawn ticket, but even those were $50! As the show date grew closer I kept prowling the web hoping to find a better deal. But alas, there seemed to be none as far I could tell. Finally, day of show, with the weather looking decidedly miserable, I logged onto the TicketMaster website and found a Section 6, Row E end-seat with the astronomical tier-one price of $125. The usual, additional rape fees made it a whopping $153. I shouldn't complain too loudly though, I bought the ticket. It was, after all, for an Eric Clapton show! Hands down, he’s my favorite musician. How could I pass it up? The show was indeed phenomenal. I never grow tired of hearing him play, preferably live. My little digital recorder captured the magic for posterity. I agree, I too enjoyed Little Wing the most, but the Robert Johnson covers were outstanding as expected. Perhaps most unexpected was the Hoagy Carmichael classic "Rockin' Chair". What a poignant moment, I still get chills from its impact. I'm curious about the credit for Blind Joe Williams mentioned in your review. Am I correct in assuming you refer to the song "Outside Woman Blues"? It's my belief that this is credited to Blind Joe Reynolds. I'm also wondering which songs in this performance are actual Bo Didley and Willie Dixon covers. Here's the set list and credits as I understand them: Motherless Children - Traditional Gospel Key to the Highway - Big Bill Broonzy Hoochie Coochie Man - Muddy Waters Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix Outside Woman Blues - Blind Joe Reynolds Double Trouble - Otis Rush Don’t Knock My Love - Wilson Pickett Driftin’ Blues - Charles Brown Rockin’ Chair - Hoagy Carmichael Motherless Child - Barbecue Bob Hicks Traveling Riverside Blues - Robert Johnson Running on Faith - Eric Clapton Tell the Truth - Eric Clapton Little Queen of Spades - Robert Johnson Before You Accuse Me - Elias McDonald Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton Layla - Eric Clapton Cocaine - J.J.
