Cash McCall stated "I did an album on Howlin’ Wolf that didn't work out too well, I didn't know the man couldn't read and that was Message To The Young. I produced that and Wolf didn't have any respect for me, as I was so young".[3]

gollark: They work surprisingly well, even though I don't understand any of it.
gollark: RPNCalc makes this easier with its better stack manipulation and closures.
gollark: For example, if I took C but made it so that all function names had to be declared backward.
gollark: Not really. You can make things worse with no improvement elsewhere.
