With global warming becoming more of an issue, you'd better make sure that the place you build is at least 20 or so feet above sea level.

Hmmm...interesting. It looks like they get their statistics after the site operators include a piece of Javascript code in every page they want statistics on. I assume that this code reports back to Quantcast. I don't know whether this is tracking via cookies or what. It was interesting to review so...

Thing is, when these songs were written, they weren't obscure - they were part of contemporary culture. As are many songs being written now.

I'll bet that in 30 years, people will be calling things "obscure" references in Chesney's songs that we just accept as part of our worlds now.

Re: Question about PH Clubs...

I am thinking of contacting and joining my local PH club, but my fear is that it becomes too political. Me and Jimmy don't exactly see eye to eye politically. Does anyone know if they become political or is it just a bunch of PH's trying to help out and have a good time? I seldom if ever hear polit...

Must be nice to have that big a band. :)

If he's not playing, why does he change guitars every two songs?

Well, like the song says, "Take the Weather With You." I truly do believe that if we aren't creating Paradise in our own minds first, it doesn't matter *where* we hang out. One of my own songs, "Going Coastal," is very much about that choice we can make when faced with a bad day ...

This is not entirely accurate and is somewhat insulting, but I think I got my laugh for the day from this line, "Go to Bob Dylan and Paul Simon for poetry and pretty tunes, but if you want to know how baby boomers ate, drank, and screwed on vacation, reach for Boats, Beaches, Bars, and Ballads...
