(b1878-d1949) Luther "Bill" Robinson was a real person. A well known and much-loved vaudvillian tap dancer, he played every where, knew everybody and was even considered the "official" mayor of Harlem. His gambling and traveling ways caused him to end up in jail a time or two. His funeral was attended by everybody from Ed Sullivan to Joe DiMaggio to Jackie Robinson. (if you dont know these names, go look em up).
Like many legends, his escapades were embellished and expanded upon, resulting in the song that carries his name that has been covered by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Bob Dylan and others.
Many now-strange remnants of late Jim Crow America, such as vaudville performers appearing in "black-faced" can be learned by reading about his life.

A lazy person who sits around, wasting their life away while watching shadows trace along the wall. A bum to both oneself and society, leaching off of others, a sick and pathetic waste of flesh and life. Synonomous with an eager desire to remain unemployed, with their fat ass firmly glued to your couch.

A place where you can get good fried chicken and iced tea that's 99% sugar. They're usually found in the south, but there are a few up north. Mmmmm it's good.
