Sober Bluesman Falls Off Wagon
The last remaining sober blues musician has succumbed to hard liquor and easy women, and the species has become extinct. Leonard Silbernagle, who goes by the name Corn Pone Chitlin Razorback Hopkins, had been billed as the only sober bluesman in Texas, after Dave Nevling has a wild streak a few years back. Corn Pone, who freely admits to sniffing paint thinner from his early teens into his early late mid-thirties, fell off the wagon at Ronnie's Icehouse last month. Corn Pone's publicity manager told Nightmoves the musician was remorseful, and said he is still willing to be booked by anyone except the police.
