He thought he'd died. While rolling down Chicago's South Side in a convertible, top down on a hot July night, Muddy Waters heard his bottleneck blues "I Can't Be Satisfied" coursing through the streets once again, this time from "way upstairs somewhere." What was actually just the soundtrack to a Chicago house party escaping through an open window, high up above, was mistaken as a siren song from the afterlife.
