well you're talking about the talking about the china grove whoa oh oh.
whoa oh china grove.

i've never been good at adding uh-huhs and whoa oh's and la la la's to my songs. i sound gay.

do you know who's good at that? van morrison.

he could write an entire song and not use one real word and it would be awesome.

i read a hysterical book yesterday.

"Pure Drivel" by Steve Martin.

check it out. here's one of the blurbs on the backflap.

"If memory serves me 'pure drivel' is the funniest book i've ever read. if memory serves me 'pure drivel' is the funniest book i've ever read." -- neil simon

when i read that, i laughed out loud in the half price book store and everyone looked at me like i was being rude.

i flipped them off and threw two dollars down on the counter and walked the fuck out of there.

there's a chapter in there called "Writing is Easy". it is pure fucking genius.

TOP FIVE LIVING PEOPLE I WOULD LIKE TO HANG OUT WITH:

1. Bob Dylan
2. Steve Martin
3. Willie Nelson
4. Phil Mickelson
5. Bill Clinton

the doobie brothers are the most underrated band from the seventies. there. i said it.

this just in....

Ali Holder will be opening for me in stephenville on friday. she's great. only 18 and already has a ton of songs. i didn't even learn a g chord until i was 22. i've added c and d since then and an occasional e minor or a minor just to keep 'em sounding different. Randy Langley will be sitting in with me on lead guitar as well. he's a great guitar player for a retired fireman. i hope to see some of you folks out.

well, i don't want to spoil you motherfuckers....

i'm out like a light bulb, yo....
