It's Memorial Day in America...

See if the lyrics to this James McMurtry song called Memorial Day rings true for anyone: Mama keeps tryin’ to get the game on the radio Daddy’s gotta know the score There’s a big yellow thing on a flat bed trailer Wonder what that thing’s forWe got towels rolled up in the back seat window Keeping us...

1. Where did you grow up? HA! I'm growing older, not up. 2. Have you ever been to Indiana? No, but I've heard a lot of lameass John Cougar Melonhead songs about it. 3. Describe yourself at age 18. Have you seen Dazed and Confused ? 4. How do you deal with pain? Up the drug intake very significantly...

And who is the guy in the overalls with no shirt playing guitar?

Former Reefer and artist in his own right Josh Leo.

During one of Buffett's first appearances on the Today Show (maybe even his first) Katie took her parrothead hat off as soon as she got a chance. Made me think she may not be the biggest fan.

Maybe he should play "Why Don't We Get Drunk (and Screw)".

By the same token, you would think writers and fans would at least attempt to spell the names of artists such as Skynyrd and Zeppelin correctly but that isn't always the case. Same thing with Buffett.

I don't know the fine details but I understand the Buckley estate requested Buffett no longer perform the song. Considering how sue-happy Buffett can be over his trademarked names I can fully appreciate the irony of the situation. I'd love to hear him do it live again but there's also a lot to be sa...

Just be glad it wasn't Lynyrd Skynyrd or Led Zeppelin. They get their names mispelled much more often than Jimmy Buffett. Their fans don't go into nearly the same tizzy when those sort of mistakes (which is what they are) happen either. Yeah, but Skynyrd and Zeppelin chose difficult names... :roll:...

I grew up just west of the tracks holding me to hold me back around your door she's calling out my name she said "son won't you go outside I've got a man coming over tonight The 7th one in 7 days" So I go down to the parking lot and hang around all my friends And roam the street 'till dawn...

.....and you're right. The wrath of Ophelia was ignored. Small potatoes in the whole scheme of things, I guess. I found that out the hard way when I called FEMA. Not only was the person I talked to extremely rude but they refused to help many of the citizens of my area in any way. The storm may not...

I've been to Antone's at least three times over the years. The last time was for a CD release party for the Gourds' Cow Fish Fowl or Pig album. Clifford introduced 'em that night...

You can also hear cuts from it on his myspace site.

I haven't entered the digital age yet so I guess I'll waitin' 'til August to pick up a copy.

Make mine purple and serve it up with a dose of the Polyphonic Spree.

Politics have been an intergal part of music since it's very beginnings. I don't see that changing now or in the future.

Thanks for the well wishes. As much as I hate it, I'm moving inland, yet again close to a military base (I've done time near Seymour Johnson AFB and Camp Lejeune), this time it's Fayettenom.
