I've been wanting to ask you about your avvie McTell. It always reminds of a song I heard while playing the video game Mafia. Who is that?

The person in my avatar is Blind Willie McTell. He was a Blues musician from Georgia, who was born around about the start of the 20th century (I've heard different dates, and am unsure which is correct) and died in 1959.

I took his surname as my username too (strictly speaking this is untrue, as his surname was actually McTier or McTear (his family used both spellings) and his wife took the name McTier rather than McTell).

I've never played Mafia, but since (according to Wikipedia) it is set in the thirties, I think this photo of McTell (and his first period of success as a recording musician) would date to around the same time as the game's setting.

I rhyme whenever I post
Which I must do when I've lost
This game of who posts the most
Has me wonder: At what cost?

You know I cannot prove
Your quote is a lie
It was a brilliant move
I retire with a sigh.

While not a lie, that isn't quite what he wrote. What he actually said was:

But I'm not going to share my win with some absent 148 year-old.

Bunnies are fun
Bunnies are nice
I skinned one
For my dice.

((Bah. It's the afternoon. I'm not going to try and be creative in the afternoon.))

Batman cannot win
He is not in this thread
But do not cause a din
He is certainly not dead.
