A little while ago, Rachel requested suggestions for four books which defined Western culture.
Mine are:
1. Lonesome Dove
2. All of Zane Grey
3. Lonesome Dove, again
4. beer
I recommend working in some J. Frank Dobie during Nos. 3 & 4 — after all, you know what’s gonna happen, you won’t miss anything. If you need a background music list, drop me a line, but start off with Marty Robbins, the original Gangsta Rapper.

So, this is the day of every year that I get up with anticipation for a blog post I hope I don’t read. The Master of Sparks always takes it on himself to watch that tragi-comic Nashvillean hoo-ha, and record his sentiments and observations about the jackasses running the Country Music Machine. I always enjoy Jack’s rants about the celebration of talent-free branding experiments and tampon salespeople, but I also fear his unavoidable & completely justified wrath might cause a pinstroke or worse. And honestly, my enjoyment of the carnage isn’t worth the risk.
So far, nothing. Hopefully, it will stay that way.
Me, I only saw the adverts on NASCAR races, to which ABC purchased the rights, solely in order to pump their prime-time shows. It looked like an evening of cute girls with boobies & cleavage (never a bad thing), and slicked-up, hopped-up grinning possums wearing Rodeo Drive cowboy hats. Not to be confused with The Possum, of course. What all did Ryan Bingham win? OK, then…
