One of my all time favorite bands is Little Feat. Lowell George was the force behind it and he died too soon. The band is still going today but was at its best when Lowell was alive.This albums helped keep me sane when I spent 18 months working ins Saudi Arabia in the late 1970s. My typical work week was over 80 hours a week and at least 6.5 days. Fridays I would round up the supervisors and take them all over to the Aramco Campus for brunch (my treat) You could get some of the forbidden foods there- bacon, sausage etc. as part of a traditional American Breakfast.
I would head to work at about 7am most days from my apartment in Al kobar on the gulf coast. It was so hot that to get into my car I would open the door, reach in and put the key in the ignition and start the car. I would turn on the AC, shut the door and let it run for several minutes. Other wise it would be cooler stepping into an oven with wheels.
I returned home around 8 pm covered in filth. i was management, but the multiple in and out of the air conditioning and the dust filled outdoors at well over 100 F meant I would sweat, get covered in yuck, cool down and repeat this all day long, As soon as I got home it was into the shower where I watch the dirt coming of of me running down the drain. Then it was time for Little feat. I lay on the living room floor with a speaker from the stereo on either side of of my head like giant earphones and play it loud.
Btw- tune #5, "Old Folks Boogie" has been my theme song now for about a decade.
(play it in 1080p and turn up the volume)
