  1. Hell, just go get some Duck Donuts.
  2. Educate yourself. https://polkabeat.com/dances-festivals Just check the weekends, any church picnic going on, you'll find kolaches, and a lot of other good stuff too.
  3. Ha, no, I found that on a Czech facebook group. Just drive up to West and grab you some, or better yet, find a Weikel's, they're the best in my opinion. Klobase-Kolache Festival is going on in East Bernard right now, you may be able to get some if you hurry. Seriously, I used to have a recipe from an old SPJST calendar, somewhere out in my garage if I run across it I'll post it...
  4. I got you fam
  5. Man, I don't ever remember seeing Nazareth on MTV (of course, the first song was Video Killed the Radio Star...). Houston radio stations used to play the hell our of that song in the late 1970's-early 80's, along with Love Hurts and Holiday.
  6. Very cool, thanks, I will pick that up, even Bernie's prose is so fucking fantastic.
  7. Reminds me of an ancecdote from Alice Cooper, never been able to find an official confirmation but it has been re-printed everywhere, and it seems believable... “I was sitting backstage after the 1974 Grammys with Bernie Taupin (Elton John’s lyricist) and John Lennon. This was when Brian was really having some mental issues,” said Cooper. “During the course of the conversation, I kept seeing Brian out of the corner of my eye, just kind of staring at us from different angles.” “Finally, he came up to the table, bent down and whispered in my ear ‘Hey Alice, introduce me to John Lennon.’ I couldn’t BELIEVE that these two men had never met! They were virtually neck and neck in the 60’s as the greatest bands on the planet, and I’m SURE they must have crossed paths at some point. But then I thought to myself, ‘Wow, I’m going to be the one to introduce them and become a part of rock history!’” “So I merely said, ‘Brian Wilson, this is John Lennon. John Lennon, this is Brian Wilson.’ Lennon was very cordial and polite, saying things like ‘Hello Brian, I’ve always wanted to meet you. I’ve always admired your work, and Paul and I considered Pet Sounds one of the best albums ever made.’ Brian thanked him and walked away, at which point Lennon went right back to his conversation like nothing had happened.” “About ten minutes later, Brian came by our table again, leaned down and whispered something to Bernie, and all of a sudden, Bernie was saying ‘Brian Wilson, this is John Lennon. John Lennon, Brian Wilson.’ Lennon was just as cordial and polite as the first time, saying essentially the same thing about always wanting to meet him. As soon as Brian walked away, John looked at both of us and casually said in his typical Liverpudlian accent, ‘I’ve met him hundreds of times. He’s not well, you know.’” We were impressed by John’s empathy and kindness in dealing with Brian and thankful that Brian has found some mental stability following tumultuous times.
  8. Knew it was coming, but still a kick in the gut. Thank you Brian, for making me cry and making me smile. They'll study your music for centuries and still not ever fully understand it.
  9. It's like perfume
  10. Not to worry, now that Louisiana has banned chemtrails, no more cloud seeding therefore no more rain! And now that Trump in charge, no more deep state Democrat-controlled hurricanes being directed into the Gulf of America. So no need for FEMA. It's all under control, 5-D chess and all.
  11. Coming soon - post oak, mesquite, hickory and pecan wood give you cancer. Henceforth, all brisket must be prepared "a la Cornyn".
  12. John Conlee Mickey Gilley Roger Miller Ray Price Charlie Rich
  13. OPEN BORDERS!!!! WHY NOT CLOSED? Thank you for your attention to this matter.
  14. The youtuber I mentioned above, Doug Helvering, turned me on to this band. Just getting into them but I like what I've heard, definitely in the math rock mode. Anybody familiar with them, give me some recommendations. Haken
  15. Another Texas honky tonk legend gone.
  16. So much crazy shit going on every single day, nobody even posted the video from a couple of weeks ago of her filming herself yelling “fuck you” to some guy in a grocery store and calling him a f*g…. Too lazy to find it myself, let your fingers do the walking…
  17. The original: Making it a masterpiece:
  18. Damn, a legend. Definitely had the touch, produced The Cars' first four albums as well.
  19. Haven't heard that name in forever. My brother was a DJ for KAOS pirate radio before he died back in the early 2000s. Lucky to have some of his broadcasts saved on mp3, back in 2002 he put on a show at Emo's with FRB and a bunch of other bands, one of the things I remember was his put-together commercial for all the different bands. Just went back and checked it out, fuck he was so young, at the same time my son is almost the same age now. Shit. Anyway, thanks for mentioning that name, I needed to hear my brother again.... Now back to your normal broke-dick Nazi talk...
