Snuffy Wilson is a character whose creation was inspired by a single song, Never Got Along, along with various stories and real life bluesmen who have graced this planet with their talents...among them are Guy Davis, Robert Johnson, Son House, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker...the list could go on for days, but you probably get the point. While Snuffy is fictional, I suspect there's at least a bit of him in each of us; certainly I have more than my fair share. Maybe there's something to be learned from him...could be he's an example of what not to do, and perhaps he's an illustration of what happens when you go all in and lose. Or, maybe Heaven really ain't that grand.
You can decide for yourself.
