He's originally from Sweden, with Eastern European roots (I think Croatian.) He's lived in DC since, I think, the late 80s. He also does a one man band thing, with guitar, harp and drums and he can play like Hendrix on a strat. Very talented guy.

Wow, after a little research into my aforementioned grandfather's final words to me I have found the likely origin, an old timey mountain song:
The Mountaineers
It's quite crass. I'll refrain from posting the lyrics here. ;)
I'm 100% certain I'm going to learn how to pick this song out on my gee-tar.

Since nobody was hurt and the perp is in jail, I guess we can laugh at this apparent mad-dog scene from a Danville CA mall.
Police arrested 22-year-old Abdul Walid Hamid of Hayward on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 4, after he reportedly tore a crucifix from a person's neck and scared others at Stoneridge Shopping Center.Hamid, an employee at a mall kiosk near Starbucks, has been charged with battery, terrorist threats and grand theft.
According to reports, Hamid was yelling "Allah is power" and "Islam is great" while holding a pen in a fist over his head. Witnesses said he shouted anti-Christian comments, said police.
Lt. Mike Elerick of the Pleasanton Police Department said the man was not provoked and didn't threaten violence, but he committed robbery when he grabbed and broke a crucifix off someone's neck.
Coworkers told police that Hamid's actions were out of the ordinary and that he had worked at the kiosk for years.
Police also said they weren't aware of a prior criminal history for the man. (emphasis added)
Good thing he didn't have s sword.
Actually, tearing something off somebody's neck is assault and Hamid was in fact charged with battery. I'm also wondering how he worked at the kiosk "for years" but still needed an interpreter when he got to the slammer.
Finally, "near Starbuck's" is a little redundant when we are talking about a CA mall.

I would love to sit a talk with her for a bit...she has has a very interesting life, but what I most admire is her pursuit of old time blues and guitar riffs...she is wildly under rated as a player...not by us so much but the gen pop expects these dance tunes from her...that's what made her rich...this last 20 some gig tour with Taj Mahal was a classic...it was a benefit...both stars brought in full bands, they mixed up and played the blues for three hours...just a huge gig imo
