    Yep, her mom is a teen mom, she is, her son is a teen father.

    And for as much talk about Obama's parents as the Rs did, at least Obama knew who his parents were, and the Rs still gave him shit.

    Meanwhile, Boebert's dad could have been a carnival working passing through at this point.

    Jump to about 2:30, pretty sure Bill and Boebert's mom crossed paths at some point

    What do you expect from a beer joint in the middle of no where milam county? The most exotic thing they probably have is dos or corona. 


    Although there is a place that recently opened called East Bell Taphouse that has a decent selection in Rockdale now. If you’re in the area it’s worth stopping to get a bite to eat. Order some pepper puppies and thank me later. 

    Had a great time at East Bell Taphouse today, manager there used to be a bartender at Texas Beer Co. in Taylor, hired my band to play a "polka brunch" today.  Not a big crowd, but very appreciative, and the first one they've had, we'll be back at some point.  Had an open tab for the band, was a little worried at the end, ala the Blues Brothers at the Country Bunker...  We definitely equaled our pay with the bar tab.

  3. And yes I know I am derailing the thread, but can we just maybe not think about this impotent, twig-legged mother fucker for a few minutes.  And I'm not making fun of no cripples (see the Monkees "Head" for reference), as Gordie Lachance said, "No Ace, just you..."  (my pop culture references come out when I get drunk, back to your regularly scheduled programming)

  4. I'm not QUITE as old as Armybrat (although I do live in his wife's home town of Taylor, maybe that has something to do with it), but I do miss a simpler time with simple technology and shitty local commercials....

    Oh you DO know her?

    OK I'm a bit buzzed, but don't THINK I'm going crazy, this is for the oldsters. Back in the 80's 90's could have been early 2000s, there was another female lawyer here in Austin, she was blonde, kind of a perm hairstyle and wore what I can only describe as a Boy George hat, or a pork pie hat I guess.  I cannot remember her name to save my life (or bail me out), anybody remember her or is this just a Mandela effect thing going on....

    Being the Antichrist, wouldn’t his tongue burst into flame or something if he actually quoted scripture?

    He would have to first believe that God or Jesus are not subservient and beneath him. Not happening. He gets better ratings than God and Jesus was loser that died.

    He likes messiahs that don't get caught.

  8. Ah yes, so the guy who was on terrestrial radio (the whole time lamenting the death of print media), then left radio to do a streaming show run by (checks notes) print media (and all the while lamenting the death of terrestrial radio), then left to do a podcast on a start up company that lasted all of 6 months or so, then started his own podcast that maybe 20 people listen to, has gone back to.... terrestrial radio.  How did we not see that coming?

    Def Leppard-Rocket (Beatles, Elton, Bowie, etc...)
    Fountains of Wayne-Supercollider (Pink Floyd)

    which makes me kick myself that I forgot two of the most obvious songs written about another musician...

    Shine On You Crazy Diamond
    Wish You Were Here
    (and could also add Brain Damage and Nobody's Home, all for Syd, and of course Vera-Vera Lynn)

    and I guess we can just throw in the entire Rumours album as well

    John Mellencamp-ROCK in the USA
    There was Frankie Lyman, Bobby Fuller, Mitch Ryder
    (They were rockin')
    Jackie Wilson-Shangra-Las-Young Rascals
    (They were rockin')

    Spotlight on Martha Reeves
    Let's don't forget James Brown
  10. Eagles-Hotel California (Steely Dan), as payback for Steely Dan-Everything You Did (Eagles)
    Grand Funk Railroad-An American Band (Freddie King)
    ELO - Shagri-la (Beatles, and "Hey Jude")
    Billy Joe Shaver-Tramp on Your Street (Hank Williams)
    Chuck Berry-Roll Over Beethoven
    A couple more about John Lennon:  Paul McCartney-Here Today, Elton John-Empty Garden
    John Lennon-How Do You Sleep (Paul McCartney)
    Bruce Springsteen-Thunder Road (Roy Orbison)
    Steely Dan-FM (Elvis)
    REM-Man on the Moon (Mott the Hoople, Elvis)
    Commodores-Nightshift (Marvin Gaye)

    A couple of "list songs": Tex Ritter-Hillbilly Heaven; George Jones-Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes
    Neil Young-My My, Hey Hey (Johnny Rotten)

    as in the one song above, Barclay James Harvest-Titles (the lyrics are all Beatles song titles/lyrics), actually a pretty cool song, I really dig it (this video cannot be more 70's, with that All the Young Dudes opening...)
