I'll make sure he sends you an email Jaxita!

Awesome show tonight was made better by running into the Commander!

I'm a weather guy by trade, so I am trained in bullshit. One of the few jobs in the world where you can be completely wrong and get to go to work the next day.

That is nearly sig worthy!

If the rap in question has a funky groove, I'll listen to it. I'm even learning some Bob Wills songs to be able to jam with my Steel Guitar playing Dad. Gonna work on some Buck Owens tunes as well... Western Swing is kind of fun.

Yup, that's a quote from that movie. I can't remember who said it tho. I'll rewatch it tomorrow when I am not working.

The record industry is a gigantic piece of crap. Once CEOs were no longer industry professionals, and everything was based on quarterly profits - it all went into the toilet. I highly recommend everyone watch the documentary "Before the Music Dies". There is a part of it on the website...
