Dear Casey,
It was another boring night in Knoxville when me and two of my UT football buddies decided to commit ARMED ROBBERY on some dudes in a 1998 Hyundai Elantra at a Pilot gas staion, and surprise surprise the guys driving the 1998 Hyundai Elantra didn’t have any money.
Well, we were arrested with [...]

Hey let’s not forget the man was a triple threat. He was discovered as a dancer, and had his first big role as Zuko in the musical Grease on Broadway. This is not a favorite of mine, but it was a big hit for him. Casey Kasem is doing a long distance dedication to this [...]

Is this game a sport? I mean if golf is a sport then this has got to be considered one also, right?
Enjoy, I like it. The song that is.

Thx to The Regular Guys. Link to their [...]

Talk about butchering a song. Erika Davis did just that the other night at Dodger’s Stadium.
She can’t sing, and to make it worse she doesn’t know the lyrics. It’s painful.
Here she is singing during the seventh inning stretch. Luckily most Dodger fans leave by then.

I’ve been known to sleep walk and toss a few back, and I match the description of this gentleman in CA, except I’m about 30 pounds heavier.
The biggest difference is that I’ve never done it naked. Sleep walk that is. I actually like to do my drinking in the nude.

It’s time for a Vietnam War protest song.
Country Joe McDonald performed on Saturday at the festival.
Country Joe is still kicking around. I know this may surprise a lot of you, but he is a Berekely liberal. In recent years, Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly compared McDonald to Fidel Castro.
Here’s Country Joe McDonald singing, by far, [...]

Good song, with some good footage from Woodstock the movie.
I was poking fun at the hippies earlier in the day, but the music sure was good. The movie is also very good if you’ve never seen it. I usually end up shaking my head as I watch it.
Here is Arlo Guthrie singing Coming into Los [...]

They’re running Washington DC.
Today is the 40th anniversary of the start of the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair.
I would have loved it. The apex of the hippie movement with all its tie-dye wearing, no bathing, hacky sack kicking, Bongo drum playing, dread lock sporting, make peace not war promoting, LSD taking, VW Van driving, hairy [...]
