I saw that cartoon at Madison Square and it kicked ass!
no, the strangers don't come back because hillbillies don't take kindly to strangers poking around their property, especially if they have a still. saying they don't come back because it's just so great up there might be a whitewashed PC reading, but anyone that's a fan of or has studied bluegrass music and it's origins in appalachian folk know that murder in the hills is a common theme.
yeah, the ryan adams quote is unfair, but i couldn't think of any songs that reference the vols and, if you didn't notice, being fair to UT wasn't really my objective.
we built this city was starship. it's still no worse than the second disc of 2400 fulton street, where all of jefferson airplane's "revolution" material is.
Good stuff Todd. I think you'll enjoy my contribution to the weekend's festivities. Just head over my blog....
