Wow!! The "Trouble Ain't Over" album for only $8.99. Single tracks are only $0.99. I paid more than that for a copy of "Macho Man" by The Village People and that was way back in 1979! $0.99 What a bargain! Try 'em all!!

We got some heavy snow right here in our little corner of the Ozarks. It’s wet snow with the temperature just below freezing. It should all melt away tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow. Thirst N’ Howl will be bringing our brand of party rock to the Outback Pub in Branson tomorow night and Saturday night as well.

Well, a while back my friend Darlene commented on my lack of posts pertaining to the art world. Be careful what you wish for Darlene.
From This Is London…
Controversial American sculptor Daniel Edwards latest work ‘The Oprah Sarcophagus’, is a very full-figured sculpture of Oprah Winfrey - and that’s where the likeness begins and ends.
The work casts Miss Winfrey in bronze, as a nude, full-breasted woman with generous child-bearing hips.
However, it bears little likeness to the billionaire media mogul, save for the head of curly hair that fans out around her.
Instead, the artwork shares an uncanny likeness to the coffinette which held the body of Egyptian boy king Tutankhamun.
Edwards, 42, says his piece pays homage to the closest thing America has to a living deity.

An inside source informs me that the sarcophagus has endorsed Obama.

I’ve come to the conclusion that looking for something on YouTube is kind of like playing the claw machine at the bowling alley.
If you are a geezer like I am, you probably have foggy, misty memories of the esoteric, TV talk show, parody, “Fernwood 2 Night”. If you aren’t that old, I don’t know, it would be hard to explain it and do it justice (Wikipedia link).
Anyway, I was snorting around YouTube this morning and found this gem. Tom Waits performs “The Piano Has Been Drinking”. Not only that, he engages in some genuine “schtick” with Barth Gimble (Martin Mull) and Jerry Hubbard (Fred Willard). The whole thing is hilarious.
