Fogerty

Sometimes it only takes one word for you to know exactly what you are gonna get.

It reminds me of a story…
I went to see a Credence Clearwater Revival tribute band with my buddy Half once. In between sets one of the band members was standing near us at the bar, and Half struck up a [...]

Unfadeable. So Please Don’t Try to Fade This

Geitner–fail. GM–fail. G20–fail.
I really hope it’s just a G Thang. Fodder for Geel Good Friday.

If you didn’t understand the video, here’s an explanation…


My Favorite Cock Fighting Song

You read that right.  I have a favorite song about cock fighting.
There was a time when the only Spanish words I knew were “hola”, “gallo”, “del”, “cielo”, and “borracho” .  That means half of my vocabulary was a direct result of listening to this song.
Now I know all kinds of new words and phrases [...]

“Daincin’ to an Old Buck Owens Sawng”

I’m resting my mind fingers to get ready for a barrage of posts beginning tomorrow night. As soon as a winner is declared I’m gonna turn it on, turn it up, and turn it loose.
For now, enjoy this Dwight Yoakam video from 1990. It features something for everyone: Dwight Yoakam for the [...]


Tension

“Republicans.  That’s what scares people nowadays.  That and…Democrats.”
-Todd Snider
No more political posts from me until next Wednesday. Next Wednesday we can start talking about what we can do to try and fix things the next time around. For now, there’s too much tension, I’m over it. Enjoy this song.

If you don’t already [...]


Damn It Feels Good To Be a Gangsta

Or a Senator.  Or an investment banker.  Some levity is needed.  I took the liberty of posting the censored version so you can be liberal with the volume at work.
All I gotta say to you wanna-be, gonna-be, bailout-backin’, pork-packin’ prankstas–when the Ѕңїτ jumps off what the ╒ủČК you gonna do?
Damn it feels good to be [...]


If You Don’t Like Your Job…

Lay your bucket down…on the ground.  Check out Mr. Jerry Reed and Mr. Chet Atkins tearing up Mule Skinner Blues.


Jerry Reed 1937-2008

This is a sad day for me.  Jerry Reed was the first musician I really connected with as a kid.  I wore the Live From Exit-In album out.  I mean, son, I Wore. It. Out.
When I was a kid I liked him because he was funny and charismatic, and I loved him as Snowman in [...]

The End of Pandora? I Hope Not

This article says free online radio, specifically Pandora, may be in trouble.  I really hope this isn’t the case.  I’ve found so much cool new music on Pandora recently, and it’s great to hear old favorites there too.  I would think with the number of people using it they could become make some nice coin.  [...]


The Peso Down Mexico Way

Earlier this week I posted a John Prine video that’s no longer available on YouTube.  I feel really bad about that…let me make it up to you.

Yep. That’s Steve Earle…before he was fat, or on The Wire, or a heroin addict, or a communist. And that’s Guy Clark who says, “Listen to that [...]
