Music: Carolyn Wonderland – “Misunderstood”

Miss Understood

Today on Blues Monday I am serving up a song that many can relate to as cannabis consumers with the track “Misunderstood” by the mighty force that is Carolyn Wonderland. She has a voice like an ocean and she is a guitar goddess on her trusty guitar, “Patty”. For the record, she also plays trumpet, keyboards, accordion and mandolin. I am pretty sure she invented sliced bread. You may have seen Carolyn’s video of her song, “Annie’s Scarlet Letter” about a young mother imprisoned by the drug war. (If you haven’t seen it, watch it here) Her poignant message has no doubt touched many. Carolyn is a freedom fighter, a talented songwriter and a national treasure. You can learn more about the fabulous Ms. Wonderland on her website, carolynwonderland.com.

UPDATE: I just heard that rhythm and blues legend Bo Diddley just passed on this Blues Monday. Thanks for all the great music Bo. You will be missed, and remembered and copied and revered and immortalized and adored for your contributions to music.

UPDATE TOO: “Radical” Russ here – Here’s that video of “Annie’s Scarlet Letter”.
