Great line, but only two songs on that LP are near the three minute range: Dire Wolf (3:13) and Cumberland Blues (3:15). Close enough for hillbilly music, I guess.

Don't forget we're dealing with Fecal Midas here. His name will become synonymous with "unforced error". He's the patron saint of Murphy the Lawgiver. Shitting the bed is his superpower. Srsly; he has no concept of scale. There isn't an election in November; there are 3000+.

I just saw a public restroom that was unisex: a row of stalls (with doors, natch) on one wall, a row of sinks on the other, mirrored wall. Nothing to it, folks. We all gotta go.

Hey folks! I've been working on this song for almost a year. This is just a songwriter demo, but I'm really excited about this tune, examining the family farm crisis in America from the farmer's perspective. Comments and sharing invited. soundcloud.com/axonsongs/qu...

"Mr. Shuck and Jive", a Jimmy Webb tune recorded by Art Garfunkel on his solo LP Watermark after S&G broke up features the last recorded performance of Paul Desmond (who wrote Take Five with the Brubeck Quartet) whose tone reportedly sounds like a dry martini tastes. The obbligato is heartbreaking.

Decades ago, a friend and I busked at Mardi Gras, and found we got the most tips for songs romanticizing Texas. Which made sense, inasmuch as half the people in New Orleans for Mardi Gras are from Houston. Anyway, that's why there are so many stupid songs about Texas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPvL...

One. Trillion. Dollars. That's what he's talking about. Twelve zeroes. Pretty soon you're talking real money. Math is hard. A million seconds is 11 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. A trillion seconds is 31 *thousand* years. Longer than human civilization.

Nope. I am fully embedded in the Chromedroid Googleplex (I even have a Pixel phone), and it is so useful, tightly integrated, and free of charge that I will not give up an inch of it. Find something consequential to fret about.

Don't be deked. He sat down with Kushner to discuss the investigations process in the House. Jared is Suspect #1. Driving conflict between progressive and establishment electeds is precisely how we got into this mess. Division between the wings serves none to ably as the GOP.

When Workingman's came out, it hit me like a freight train. I grew up in the midwest, and had my musical roots in what we call "Americana". It moved the Dead into First Place in my own musical stack ranking, where it has remained lo these 56 years. Roots 'n' boots, baby. And then American Beauty...

Thus, Live/Dead, while impressively innovative, didn't reach the right receptors to fully appreciate its rococo intensity. I liked the Dead, but no more than the rest of the SFSound wave of bands. I also adored It's A Beautiful Day, once I'd discovered LSD...

I had been a casual Dead fan. I was really turned on by Jefferson Airplane's "Surrealistic Pillow", and noticed the reference on the liner notes to Garcia as "Spiritual Advisor", so I checked out the Dead. I liked what I heard, but I hadn't been psychedelicized yet.

Stoking division in the liberal electorate solely serves the GOP. Which gives you a pretty good idea who's behind it.
