I hope you like the new Harper Valley Hypocrites record. Over ten years since my last album came out and I wasn't sure if there'd ever be another one.
I'm going to be obnoxious about this project because I think they're the best songs I've ever written.

Come on out tomorrow night to @OKCiderCo and see me play three hours of country and folk covers. Even if you've seen us before, you've never seen us like this - with a real country lap steel player!
I wonder if a certain sector of people has gotten more stupid over time, or if they have always been this stupid , and through social media now have the ability to announce their stupidity at highly amplified levels…
listening to Max Brand's "Destry Rides Again" (1930) and boy oh boy what a story. there are three filmed versions of this (none of which I've seen) but I can't imagine any of them really nail down the tone of the novel.

diving into some delightful copaganda nonsense on my lunch break today
Lt. Vinda:
•doesn't play by the rules
•smokes perps with extreme prejudice
•calls up a crew of misfit detectives
•has a dead wife and lives for the job
After a decade of checking YouTube regularly someone finally uploaded the "I have a BRILLIANT personality" Wright Business School commercial.
They ran this and the "Will Rogers Insurance" commercial endlessly on Oklahoma City UHF stations during the day in the mid to late '90s.
@TCM composed these, oh, let's call them 'declaration of principles,' over 20 years ago.
They are still true today, and we are still true to them.
