Webbies.
Ok...here are some of the websites I have been perusing over that past couple of weeks. Of course, lets not forget the great sites just to the left of this post. Enjoyable reading can always be found on TMFW, strangepup, and The Arkansas Times blogs.

Is this where we're headed?
Remember this movie? The Road Warrior featuring Mel Gibson. His breakout role. A great fantasy movie depicting a world where gas is at such a premium that people will kill for it.
This movie might have been ahead of its time. Let's hope fantasy doesn't become reality.
With Mel's drinking problem, I don't think he should get behind the wheel.

I might have to go see this guy.
He plays in LR every couple of months. Never seen him before but had heard good things. Looked up one of my all time favorite songs on youtube and found his version. Check it out.

Sign o' the Times
Just read that the Polar Bear is now a protected species. To bad we can not say that for the American worker and American companies.

You can feel it.
Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
She wondered what was wrong this time
She never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like him it could be anything
And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind.
He said, "It's cold out here and I'm all alone,
I didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home.
I know I've been away too long.
I never got a chance to write or call
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
But I'll be home soon
And honey is there something wrong?"
She said, "Don't bother comin' home.
By the time you get here I'll be long gone.
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man."
He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this.
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss.
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
He left that phone danglin' off the hook
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
Then he just walked away
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line
With a little luck he could still get there in time
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say.
She said, "Don't bother comin' home.
By the time you get here I'll be long gone.

Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
What a great song. Written by Aaron Barker and Erv Woosley and performed by George Strait. This song is so vivid that I can actually see it as an image plays out in my head. Good songs are like that. I can still make Cheyenne.

Damn, I wish I could be there.
This happens to be one of my favorite movies of all time. Would love to hear Judge R. tell stories about Phoebe Cates.

One of the best new albums that I own.
http://www.glossary.us/the-better-angels-of-our-nature-free-download/
I don't write music reviews. Lets leave that up to the people at Rolling Stone or your local paper. However, It would be wrong to not tell you about a fantastic album recently released by the band GLOSSARY.
This is one of those albums that has now taken place in my top 10 albums that I own. I will let the music speak and you can develop your own thoughts.
Go to the link above and download the entire album for free. Thats right, not only is this one of the true gems of 2008 but you can own it for FREE. The band wants you to spread the word and enjoy the music they create. Take a look at their website and you will also find where they say the best bar in America is right in our backdoor at The White Water Tavern. I have to agree with them as well.
Again, this album is free. If you like it, go out and see them when they come to your town. Give'em ten bucks. Money well spent.
