Thin Lizzy - The Cowboy Song:

Sweet - Ballroom Blitz:

(I get giddy every time I hear this — Broadway Skateland, man…speed skate tune)

Marshall Tucker Band - Ramblin’ on my Mind

(watch Toy Caldwell’s thumb-picking — doubt you’ll see much of that any more)

The Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides

(ok, even I can only take this song about once a year…but I sure love that once a year! oh, and there aint no video - just wanted to hear the song)

Now I want to drive to Houston in the morning for Van Halen tickets.

Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of:

Google users in the United States will notice today that we “turned the lights out” on the Google.com homepage as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour.

I’m proud to say that I was bombing south on US 281 at 85mph between the hours of 8 & 9, except where I had to slow down for the towns, none of whom seemed to be observing Earth Hour, but then, we’re Texans and we love-a the oil-a. I even threw out a couple of beer cans on the side of the road, in the manner of Edward Abbey. Those community service clowns need something to pick up on the side of the road besides bottles of pee from the long-haul truckers. If I had been home, I would have turned on every stinking light that I own, too, and run the oven and the dishwasher and the dryer all at the same time, as a statement of the futility of such idiotic gestures as Earth Hour.

Here’s an idea…let’s just shut off the damn internet. Think how much money & energy that would save. Not to mention time. Frickiin’ hippies. Go knit a dreamcatcher by the starlight, and leave us capitalists alone.

Speaking of bombing south, this almost made me take a left to Waco when I heard it on the wireless…but since I was driving my prissy girly Lariat and not a bitchin’ Camaro or Randall “Pink” Floyd’s El Camino, I passed on.

I wonder if Foghat and Blue Oyster Cult observed Earth Hour? Fuck, no, they didn’t…they had (have) the Marshalls cranked to 11, bitches. And I’m sure I couldn’t take that flogging, anyway…it’s better to imagine that I’d have had a rockiin’ good time.
