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!!

I was asked my opinion of this mess between Howard Stern and Dolly Parton. Howard, of course, took excerpts from Dolly’s audio book and edited them together in a disgraceful manner for a cheap laugh.
What will come of this, Jack?
On one hand you have Dolly…

…who wrote “Coat Of Many Colors” and buys reading books for under privileged children.
And on the other hand, you have Howard…

…who makes a huge amount of money in a parasitic fashion.
Now, at the heart of the country music world, there is a fierce and very protective group of pit bull lawyers that all play golf together. When Dolly, who is very shrewd, mentions the possibility of a lawsuit, these guys are instantly licking their collective chops and texting. These guys are going to relish the idea of hitting Howard where it hurts.
Howard Stern is one of those guys that likes to use Free Speech like it’s a loophole. He screwed up this time.
Howard Stern is your Friday morning mindless yob.

The staff at askmen.com has compiled the “Top Ten: Hells on Earth” and, OKC is at number 5!
Here’s the list of the ten cities and each one’s particular brand of hell.
10 Baghdad, Iraq- Type of hell: Conflict
9 Dhaka, Bangladesh- Type of hell: Pollution
8 Yakutsk, Russia- Type of hell: Environmental extreme
7 Mogadishu, East Africa- Type of hell: Lawlessness
6 Chernobyl, Ukraine- Type of hell: Radiation
5 Oklahoma City, United States- Type of hell: Natural disasters
4 Pyongyang, North Korea- Type of hell: Oppression
3 Bujumbura, Republic of Burundi- Type of hell: Corruption
2 Linfen, China- Type of hell: Darkness
1 Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea- Type of hell: Disease
That’s some pretty fast company you’re running with there, OKC.
Here’s what Ask Men said about Oklahoma City.
While it may be all hunky-dory on the musical front, Oklahoma City isn’t the kind of place you’d want to hang out in for too long if you like to keep your feet on terra firma. The weather is frighteningly unpredictable, with blizzards often descending on the city and winds that could knock a high rise clean off its feet. It is, after all, located in the direct path of “Tornado Alley.”
The worst time to visit would be from March to August, when The Day After Tomorrow-style weather is pretty much expected. In fact, the severe weather season makes Dorothy’s Kansas look positively calm, with Oklahoma City being the city worst affected by tornadoes in the United States. One of the most powerful tornadoes on record — an F5 with wind speeds of 320 mph — devastated much of the city in 1999, securing its place on our list of hells on earth.
Well, I’ve never been to any of the other places on the list and, maybe it’s just me but, I’d take my chances with the tornado.

Shania and Mutt are splitting up.
Shania Twain and husband-producer Robert “Mutt” Lange are splitting up after 14 years of marriage. The 42-year-old Canadian country superstar and 59-year-old Lange married in 1993 and have a 6-year-old son named Eja. Her publicist provided no further details Thursday about the couple’s breakup.
I wonder who gets custody of the drum sound?
