Kind of a drag today.
I made the rounds by myself. Down time, that would normally be passed gossiping or talking enormous mounds of trash, was spent scalding my tongue at one Mackdonald's after another. By the time I got to Tato-Nuts they were sold out and the roosters were nowhere to be seen or heard at Lulu's...too flippin' cold.
I did have the FM though...and these ladies to keep me company.
Plain spoken existentialism for hard livin people...country music at it's finest.
I love this song and there's a live clip out there with an old fella burning a hole in a steel guitar but this video just kills me...
I didn't actually hear Every Things Gonna Work Out Fine but, we don't need to hear Proud Mary again. Besides, there's no way I'm passing up any excuse to play this clip.
Pick yer mouth up off the floor.
So, I reckon it coulda been worse...but I was happy enough to see the house.
Hey, sometimes it's good to get some alone time, in my opinion. I love a quiet office.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on that one. I get a lot quiet time on my drives between destinations.
ReplyDeleteIt's just usually more fun to make rounds with reps...fortunately I work with good people.
Agree too Gia. It is good to get alone time. But mostly there's nothing to beat good company.
ReplyDeleteAnd e.f. - you are good company - even at this virtual distance.
Never used to like "country" music. But recently I've developed a taste for it.
You are too ma'am. That last story of your's was a belly buster.
ReplyDeleteWe have an on again off again mission here to set the record straight on country music. Any of y'all that don't like country music after we're done will at least know what it is you don't like.
Them some good clips, especially the Tina and Ike stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat TNT appearance has be on the Top Ten list of events that have occurred in human history...and that clips only about half of it.
ReplyDeleteDaddy saw 'Em play...said shee was like that from can to can't...never stopped.
I gave up on music radio a long time ago: who wants to listen to other's play-lists interspersed by adverts for fluoride filtration kits because a nit-wit "doctor", with dubious on-line academic credentials, is suggesting the government's contaminating the water supply in order to breed a new generation of Manchurian assassins? In any case, my tinfoil hat also acts as a radio-signal antenna which helps eavesdrop on classic establishment jamming signals like this:

There's a reason for those signs say: "Don't feed the ducks!
A week of dealing thumb-screwing lawyers, and the attendant malignant neurosis implied by such toxic proximity, has sent my stress levels to an all-time surreal high. Logic, reason and decadency is not enough to bat these flesh-sucking critters from your door, the only viable option is to take their stretched-thin grasp on reality and wrench it so far in front of their gabbling faces, that it smacks right-back through their open, slack-jawed mouths and wedges itself in those over-sized brain cogs causing temporary seizure and space enough to then follow-up with a threat to counter-sue based them on their questionable parental origin. Nine times out of ten, this will turn out to a well-founded gamble.
If this makes any sense to you, you are beyond professional help.
I still love the radio for a couple of reasons...one, it's still fun to hear something I'm not expecting, maybe something I'd forgotten about. Of course you have to have decent radio stations to pull that off...two, we still have some good radio stations in these parts.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand completely but I understand enough to hope that whoever has put you in this state...suffers at the hand of your raGe.
I'll check the link...still working out how to control the copy and paste function on this pad.
I hear Nats pain, only mine are academics this week not lawyers, almost the opposite problems to deal with, yet equally as infuriating. It was one of those Fridays where the crystal clear sanity of a clock tower and a high velocity rifle seem and entirely reasonable course of action.
ReplyDeletean evening of killing orcs and listening t't th'artics (yes 7 years later they are finally growin on me) has somewhat helped.
It's always the sensible ones.
ReplyDelete'bout time.
Whatever People Say I Am...is a great recordi don't care what the hipsters say. There's a live clip of them doing No Buses that is on of my favorites...that kids good.
The hipsters love it, thats part the problem with me sometimes, as you are well aware. They got infected with some of the trendy feckers who liked them, enough time has passed I think. :-)
ReplyDeleteI guess it was the uber hip I remember trying to dismiss them. The people that have these complicated formulas that determine when a band is to be dropped...you have to be the first to have heard of them and the first to dump them.
ReplyDeleteTurner's accent is a winner too...very pleasing on the ears.
What about band of skulls...the boy is obsessed with them.
Ps wordpress is trying to make me log in...why can't you just have a crappy blogspot like the rest of us your highness?
ReplyDeleteyou can just use a name and email. It's because proper blogs use wordpress, blogger is soooo 90's, get with the programme duuudde.
ReplyDeleteBand of skulls, what the hell is that?
O.K I gave in an turned it off for you, you'll just come up as anonymous if you don't sign in. I'n doing it with the sneaking suspicious that this stems from the fact that you find it an arse ache to log in on your ipad.
ReplyDeleteYou do realise I have to type in some dumb ass random word for every comment here to veryfy I am a human being... clearly thats not working!
Now the Boy thinks you are truly mad.
ReplyDeleteJust YouTube band of skulls -light of the morning.
yeah, thats alright, but fires... man thats magic. How the hell have I missed these guys (and gal)!
ReplyDeleteLight of the Morning is a perfect little rock n roll song...shows there's still a million things that can be done with the template.
ReplyDeleteAll those songs are good though...definitely Fires. The Boy knows every word to all of em...he gets his guitar, puts a microphone on the desk by the computer, and performs along with the videos.
Somehow your comment about turning off the login went into the spam box.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind logging into comment....though of course the less I have to do the better....it was trying to make log in to get on wordpress to read the site.
you must have been trying to get to the admin version via my name link above? I porbably didn't remove the 'admin' bit from the URL when Copy and pasting. Just make sure its only:
ReplyDeletehttp://7songsofconfusionanddespair.wordpress.com/
not
http://7songsofconfusionanddespair.wordpress.com/admin/
anybody can read or comment without a log in on WP.
