"Ask not..."

... what the Blues can do for you, ask what you can do for the Blues." Well, that's not exactly what he said, but you get the idea, if you're a blues fan. Today marks the 50th anniversary of JFK's inauguration, and, just out of curiosity, let's see what blues songs were popular in 1961 - ah, here is "Hit the Road, Jack," by Ray Charles, which hit #1 on the Billboard charts on 10-9-61. Thanks to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_the_Road_Jack for the info, check out the video here, and keep on rockin', with some social responsibility, just like JFK would have wanted!
