Dr. John – Gris-Gris (1968), Dr. Dre – The Chronic (1992), Dr. Octagon – Dr. Octagonecologyst (1996)
[Albums 904 – 906 / 1001]
As Alanis Morissette once sang, I Am Not The Doctor.
Although I’m not entirely convinced that any of these 3 are licensed medical practitioners either.
However questionable their credentials, Doctors John / Dre / Octagon each managed to land their debut album on the elusive ‘1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die’ list.
Which means, as a group of doctors (is there a collective name for a group of doctors, such as with animals, e.g. a Business of Ferrets/Parliament of Owls?), the trio presents an opportunity for a Venn diagram.
Just the kind of prescription I can always get behind!

A tip of the hat to Willis Haviland Carrier, who I gather is credited as the inventor of the modern air conditioner!
I like the Venn diagram! I don’t think I know Dr. Octagon at all.
Cheers, Graham!
Sweet Venn diagram. I don’t know 2/3 of these artists, but love Dr John’s debut. “I walk on gilded splinters” is an absolute cracker.
My thanks, Bruce!
You and the graphs!! These are three doctors I would listen to what they had to say, but not for medical advice.
When it came to music, I too was keen to hear what they had to say – I’d be considerably more skeptical of their medical opinions!
A tip of the hat to AC inventor indeed! If it hadn’t have been for that individual, I would have melted by now.
My goodness, it was funny looking at the forecast here for the week – every day, a temperature listed somewhere in the high 20s, but also listed as feeling at least 10 degrees hotter than that with the humidity!
I’ve been finding all sorts of reasons not to go outside. This has long past stopped being fun.
Damn I could have used an AC this summer to say the least lol
OMG Deke you don’t have A/C?? With the reports you’ve been giving from up north?? That’s rough, man. We put in one of those air exchanger units a few years ago – it’s A/C in the summer, heat in the winter. WAY cheaper than putting in a furnace unit (we don’t have ducts, just baseboards). It has saved my life AND my marriage.
I like to sweat it out lol
Man, yer nuts! Save yourself!
Those sweat too. Thats what she said
Comment of the week! LOL!
Cheers Pal
Hey it’s only Tuesday, you’re in for a great week!
Please tell me you have a reliable heating system Deke for those -40 winter days!
Well we have a heating system and we’re hoping to get one more winter out of our furnace. Hoping that is lol
I’m optimistic, Deke!
So am I Geoff so am I!
I knew it was a parliament of owls, but ‘business of ferrets’ is fantastic. I come for the information, I stay for the diagrams, and I revel in the air conditioning! Also, I am not a doctor either.
Grumble of pugs is right up there as well for me on the list of Top animal collective names!
Man, I just can’t get to pugs. They all look like they ran the 100 yard dash in an 80 yard room. Grumble is accurate.
