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: And ones which require some retroactive change like "let's all have become better at hygiene and gotten masks for everyone" or something obviously can't actually work.
gollark: If you have a better idea I'm sure someone will listen.
gollark: I mean, the UK initially went for an "ignore it and hope it goes away" sort of approach based on flawed modelling for flu, but then changed their strategy to the lockdown/social distancing one when updated models suggested this was a bad idea.
gollark: Like what? I'm pretty sure there has been thought about this.
gollark: What would you prefer, *no* lockdown (or much less of one) and significantly higher infection (and then death) rates?
