Aw, I'm just joshing ya. Those few posts you made while hammered (few?!!) had me rolling on the floor. Never have I seen anyone who could type the way a drunken man talks gibberish. So I was almost disappointed with your straight review of the Gourds, but that's alright. It was still a good

;When the Spell Is Broken"? "You Don't Say"? "She Twists the Knife Again"? Sure, he just happened to spin out a string of bitter end-of-love songs shortly after going through a bitter and acrimonious divorce. Right. [Matt Benz] But it *was* Richard who broke

We've *never* been able to agree on anything (not even on the general worthlessness of Kenny Rogers), and I think if we ever did, we'd just have to shut the list down. After all, what would be the point of carrying on?g--don Wait a minute, someone among us defended Kenny

Ah, the amp named Black Widow. Yes, I love this! Bittersweet. I'm always amazed at sibling harmonies and these two are perfect. [Matt Benz] Tho-as I've told others-I am amazed at how many "advance copies" of this are in the hands of p2 folks who are *not* indus

[Matt Benz] I have a hard time swallowing the theory that country music rejected Lang cos she campaigned -briefly, we're talking one ad campaign here- against eating beef. I know there was a uproar among the beef industry, but if a music scene turned on her based on that, well, then who needs

It's great old-time music, at least the first few cuts are, so who cares that they made the album because of a popular book? It should happen more often - you know, like, new people hearing you play the music you want to. What are you complaining about, Matt? [Matt Benz] Ah, I

Agreed, Jr, and I'm no fashion plate myself. For instance, I think the Mavricks look pretty silly with their faux hipster mafia look, and well, any of those other bands like Diamond Rio need to realize that Chess King closed down back in the 80's. Hell, they make BG bands look like the whip. M
