Marshall, who never paid one mind to any of those blues singers the entire time I was embarrassingly married to him but now all of a sudden when they put him in the NEWS he's all gushy gushy over them. Just being the fake he is. GIve this guy a drop of attention and he'd do anything!! He really does need a manager. He's so fake.

Marshall Chess so foolishly, arrogantly and thoughtlessly states that "the blues" is in his DNA. I think not giving one thought to his big blunder: "Electric Mud". This guy shows his feet of clay on a consistent basis. Amazing.............
