7. Remember Muscle Shoals?
We lived near there in 1941.

Stensen Hollow (spelling)

Dad worked on the Wilson Damn Steam Generating Plant

They sent Pickett down there when Stax in Memphis couldn't hold his rowdy ass!

12. Oh
There were no buildings in Muscle Shoals in 1941. Hahahaha. It was a paper city. I understand it is a real city now. You ever been there?

I went to a burlesque house in West Memphis Ark. in 1949. Only time I have ever been in your state.

16. Damn. I'm sorry that you had to come into Arkansas
through its ass. No, wait. That would be El Dorado, wouldn't it? Muscle Shoals is on my short list of must-be places. I need to BE IN the studio where Aretha Franklin and Duane Allman (to name but a few) played!

10. Dude, he's done a lot worse than this..
He's only emptied out our treasury for his own profits a al Iraq War vis a vis Halliburton killing probably up to about 100,000 people all told.

one rich rancher in Texas he shot? sorry, i'm not concerned about it. I'm concerned about everything else he's been able to get away with, including MURDER.

11. True That!
Pickett made me dance. Cheney makes me :puke: The shotgun brouhaha vs Pickett's Irresistible Groove just struck me as a Metaphor for Murka. How far, how fast we have fallen!

13. Every time somebody I think is important dies....
I think "___________ is dead, and yet that fucking Bush lives on... and Cheney... and Rumsfeld.... and Wolfowitz.... and Perle."

The best part of that bunch ran down their momma's leg and ended up a stain on the mattress.

The list of better people who have passed is long... all of them more human than the above...

Coretta Scott King
Richard Pryor
Eugene McCarthy
Hunter S. Thompson
Ossie Davis
Rodney Dangerfield
Skeeter Davis
Steven Jay Gould
Peter Ustinov
Etc.

17. Thank you for that perspective, Bigmack!
Somehow I missed the fact that Ms Davis is gone. It really IS "The End Of The World," innit? I forget which member of NRBQ (World's Greatest Bar Band) She was married to...
