That's one of the saner arguments I've read, though.

Sadly, businessman worship is still pretty mainstream, and there's no mention of communism, birth certificates, or Muslims.

For you Mr Borg.... always friendly. It's an expression of frustration with myself. That is all.

Seems like you can't throw a rock anymore around K.C. anymore without hitting a Mormon temple.

Didn't you just have one?

Sorry, but all us midwesterners think Los Angeles and San Francisco are 5 minutes away from each other.

Whiter Obama will do better with Repubicans.

Reagan went from studio employee to union boss to corporate spokesman to politician. Plus a divorce. The Repubicans must HATE HATE HATE him.

Don't forget Mineeapolis. You can stay at my house as long as you don't mess with the cat and flush the toilet.

I live in the part of Florida that is not known for face-eating. (We're known for clinic bombings.) In the time it would take me to drive to Gainesville or Tampa, I could drive to Nashville or Houston. I could probably get to Chicago or Detroit quicker than Miami.

All of which brings up the question, why don't I just drive someplace the hell away from Florida?

Much appreciated, Rebecca.

Austin used to be a cheap place to have fun and was tolerate towards hippies/beats/whatever. There are shitloads of support services/business for musicians as well. I consider Roy Orbison one of the Gods of Music and he was an incredible human being from what I've heard. AND there are over 800 ACL shows available online: <a href="http://austincitylimits.com..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://austincitylimits.com/acl-tv">http://austincitylimits.com...

KOOP.org is our great community radio station and we have a super classical music and experimental music scene, my personal fave.

REBECCA, I think you really, really need to set up a party in Austin. Probably October.
