CMT (vomit content) / Twangburgh Question

[Masonsod]

First off, I'm at The Kettles (pet name for my parents' house) while they're
on vacation, doing laundry and stuff there, and flipping cable channels
around, and CMT's Delivery Room is on.  UNGH! There's this video of a song
"Single White Female" (I didn't even bother to check the artist) with the
singer(s) on a bus flaunting their braless chests and tight behinds around. My
God, Country Spice Girl World.  I'm sorry, but I'm no longer a sexually
repressed 16 year old into MTV erotica (I'm now a sexually repressed 34 year
old into yanking the strings off my Telecaster at the end of a set).
Next scan, and the program's still on, this time with Shania Twain (no
relation to Mark, Thank God) doing her latest, and the video concept is a
ripoff of the Robert Palmer "Addicted To Love" video.  Musical appendix burst.
And people ask me when they go into my basement recording studio why I have a
picture of Shania with the red circle/slash traffic symbol over it.  All of
the meals that I ate on the Gravel Train mini-tour are now coming back to
haunt me bowelly.

Now the Pittsburgh/Twangburgh question: Who was the guy that introduced the
bands at the Rosebud on Friday night.  It's bene bugging me for a while, he
just looked like a reject from the Broadway cast of "Grease".

That adorable reject was the amazing Mike Divine of Hillbilly Varmint, King
Dapper and now Ukelele UK fame. (a band with 4 ukeleles and a clarinet)
from the lovely state of Ohio and the ever fertile ground for strangeness,
the Akron/Canton area.

For those who know me, this explains a heck of a lot about my childhood. g
Hey, that reminds me, I still haven't listened to that Hillbilly Varmint CD.
Mike Divine himself told me it was unlistenable, so I, um, put it aside.

Jaime-
Don't listen to him! The man makes his living selling rubber novelties.
Get that Varmints' CD on right now! How can you go wrong with 31 songs on a
single disc? Hits such as "Pork Rinds and Moonshine", "Grandma's Dead", and
"(I Got An) Itchy Pussy" don't come along everyday. We're all hoping that
Mike and Julia will moving to Pittsburgh soon. The fun will never stop.
