Skip Bayless mocks LeBron James for self-crowning at Olympics

Although Skip Bayless left Undisputed and FS1 last week, the 72-year-old continues his favorite hobby of trolling LeBron James. After Team USA men’s basketball beat Brazil 122-87 on Tuesday night, Bayless posted a social media video to troll LeBron. “Man, I love LeBron James,” Bayless said sarcastically. “He is the all-time drama king. He has saved so many boring games by a new subplot or some…

Justo en el momento indicado...

Es fácil para nosotros experimentar la ansiedad cuando parece que Dios se está moviendo más lento de lo que quisiéramos. Pero las Escrituras son claras: los propósitos de Dios tienen sus momentos asignados. Se cumplen a su debido tiempo.

Eclesiastés 3:1 dice: “Hay un tiempo señalado para todo, y hay un tiempo para cada suceso bajo el cielo” (LBLA).

Y luego está 1 Pedro 5:6–7, que dice: “Humíllense, pues, bajo la poderosa mano de Dios, para que él los exalte a su debido tiempo.Depositen en él toda ansiedad, porque él cuida de ustedes”.

La humildad y la exaltación de Dios a usted son dos cosas que están entrelazadas. Quizás usted se sienta muy agotado y preguntándose: “Dios, ¿cuándo va a suceder?” Simplemente continúe echando sus preocupaciones en Él. Él le ascenderá a su debido tiempo. No se preocupe por ello.

De hecho, la frase que dice: “Para que él los exalte a su debido tiempo” (1 Pedro 5:6)literalmente significa “un tiempo señalado” o “en el momento que Dios ya ha estipulado”.

Cuando su carácter haya sido formado y moldeado lo suficiente, y cuando otras cosas ya estén listas y en su debido lugar, entonces Dios le promoverá y le exaltará.

Piense en Moisés quien tuvo en su corazón ser el libertador y el juez, pero cuando actuó por primera vez fracasó miserablemente. ¡Tenía 40 años de edad! (Véase Hechos 7:23–34). Los israelitas todavía no estaban listos para ser liberados. Dios tenía que obrar al otro lado de la línea.

Recuerde, Dios quizás haya puesto algunas cosas en su corazón, pero el tiempo quizás no sea el indicado todavía. Quizás haya algo en su vida que Él desee trabajar en usted, o quizás haya otros factores en los cuales Dios esté trabajando. Hasta que esas cosas no se lleven acabo, Dios no le dirigirá hacia esa posición.

Así pues, enfóquese en ser fiel y deje que Dios se preocupe por el tiempo oportuno.

(Ps. Bayless Conley).

Song of the day

(do you want the history of your favorite folk song? dm me or submit an ask, and I'll do a full rundown like here)

"Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" Bob Dylan, 1963

"Don't Think Twice, It's Alright " was first written in 1962 and was first released in 1963. It's based on Paul Clayton's song, "Who's gonna buy you Ribbons ?(When I'm Gone)" released 1960

in Dylan: A Biography by Bob Spitz, he writes,

"Some time before the song appeared, he [bob dylan] ran into Clayton, Van Ronk, and Barry Kornfeld, another Village folksinger, at which time he said, 'Hey, man—I really dig ‘Who’s Gonna Buy Your Ribbon Saw.’ I’m gonna use that.' No one gave it a second thought. Clayton himself had copied it from an old music-hall number called 'Who’s Gonna Buy Your Chickens When I’m Gone.' The guys figured, 'Fair enough—Bob’ll probably do a nifty variation on the theme.' Unfortunately, 'Don’t Think Twice' is a dead ringer for 'Ribbon Saw'" (p.200)

and the lyrics, despite both songs being short, are very similar.

Stephen Wilson, Paul Claytons Roomate says

"[Paul Clayton] had taken two different ideas. I know this from Clayton’s own lips. He slightly changed the tune to ‘Call Me Old Black Dog.’ The words were a song he’d picked up a sheet copy of in the University of Virginia library, called ‘Who’s Gonna Buy You Chickens When I’m Gone.’ He liked the idea of it" Paul Clayton and the Folksong Revival by Bob Coltman, 2008 p. 132

Despite multiple accounts in Spitz's biography of Bob Dylan of "Who's Gonna Buy Your Chickens When I'm Gone" being a popular traditional folk song that Cynthia Gooding claimed to perform twice, there exists no recorcing or publishing of its lyrics in this Time period. The closest thing i could find was the song "Whos Goñ Bring You Chickens?" from "Eight Negro Songs (From Bedford co. Virginia)" collected and published by Francis H. Abbott in 1923

since there were no recordings available for this song, i also digitally reproduced the sheet music and recorded the song using sheetmusic reader software

here's just the vocal melody

the other song mentioned, "Call me Old black dog," is a traditional folk song with many different variations, including possibly "Salty dog." from what i could tell it was first recorded in 1929 by Dick Justice

and in 1930, by Bayless Rose

these two versions of "Black Dog Blues," the chicken version of the song, and Paul Clayton's version all remind me very very heavily of the song, "Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad"

specifically this one by elizabeth cotten (1958)

and this one by Woody guthrie (1938-1940)

"Goin' Down that road feeling bad" was first recorded in 1923 by Henry Whitter as "Lonesome Road blues"

i don't know where else to put this but i also think Phil Ochs' "When I'm Gone" (1966) could have been inspired by one of these songs (in my opinion Paul Clayton's, as it sounds similar to the others to me)

Based on the biography interviews, it seems that Bob Dylan was widely criticized by other folk singers not for covering and changing a traditional folk song (that's a commonplace practice in folk music) but for copyrighting both the lyrics and the melody to this song, rather than just crediting the melody as "traditional" or just mentioning paul clayton at all. While Paul Clayton was struggling to make money, "Don't Think twice, it's Alright," made a lot. Either way, "Don't Think Twice, Its Alright" is a staple of the genre and has defined folk for a generation.
