hmmm,  that post doesn't make a lot of sense on its own at the TOTP...
 
Maybe it should get moved to the FSF

My favorite blues song......goes like this.....
 
"Well there's floodin' down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down."


Yes I like Stevie Ray....having been born in Houston, Texas it comes kinda natural.

While coffee is a blues beverage, I'm pretty sure lattes are out.

Lattes aren't even American.  
 
Every time I buy a coffee at Starbucks, which is very infrequently, I ask for a Large.  I am then asked..."Did you mean a Grande?"  To which I reply...no I asked for a Large.

Do not mock the Barista.
 

 
Wait until you have your coffee.

I'm not sure that "coffee" is American (at least, in the sense of "from the United States"), per se, if we're being precise.  The only state to have the environment/climate to grow it is Hawaii.  It was clearly a popular blues beverage long before Hawaii was a state, so....
 
Pretty much everything we have is imported from somewhere (including whiskey and bourbon), hence the origin of the beverage would seem to be secondary.
 
But, yeah, you're right: lattes are communistic in origin, I'm sure.  And Marx never sang the blues.  I think what he sang was called "the reds" and had something to do with the anger of the proletariat.  
 
I don't get Starbucks either; it seems to be a chain that built its reputation on burning the coffee beans.  I guess I've never had a predilection for "French Roasted" coffee and I really like "coffee-flavored" coffee and not all the flavored syrups and such.  
 
And here's another one: There just isn't a blues town with the word "Beach" anywhere in its name.
 
And this is surreal (and it's definitely not the blues):

Wasn't there a blues writing thingy a year or too ago? Didn't I submit a song called "Bad Luck"? Didn't it depress everyone to the point they had to eat more Becan?
