Friday Night Cage Match/Fondue Party/Evolving Conversation/Dancing About Architecture Vol. 145
You have been abducted by evil forces.
They are about to deposit you on a one of two deserted islands named after U.S. States.
Each island features a giant sound system that plays an endless loop of music from the band that is the island’s namesake at a torturously high volume.
The first island is Alabama.
The second is Kansas.
Which do you choose?
BUT WAIT! It’s not going to be that easy.
Each island is also stocked with life-time supplies of particular food and beverage items.
On Kansas Island there will be…
An endless supply of Prime Kansas Beef and 3.2 beer.
On Alabama Island there will be…
An endless supply of Conecuh Ridge Whiskey and boiled peanuts.
NOW…which island do you choose?

The post to blame: Most Peculiar Mama (Don't Eat Your Cat)
Personally I think I would rather drown!!! But since there are whisky & peanuts, being from Georgia I guess I will go with Alabama…
yes, something about boiled peanuts and whiskey just feels so right….
As for Alabama, “The Last Stand” CD, was recorded live during the farewell tour and was sold by Cracker Barrel Restaurants.
In honor of ALABAMA’s good works, the group has been the recipient of the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, Country Radio Broadcasters’ Humanitarian Award, and the Minnie Pearl Humanitarian Award. They were also the inaugural recipients of the “Spirit of Alabama” medal awarded by Governor Bob Riley.
The ALABAMA band has over 30 number one country records on the Billboard Magazine charts to their credit and have sold over 73 million records to date.

On the other hand …
Kansas’ two most popular songs, “Carry On Wayward Son” and “Dust in the Wind,” have been covered by other artists, and featured on film and television soundtracks.
“Carry On Wayward Son” has been covered by: Critical Mass, Dream Theater, Yngwie Malmsteen, The Oak Ridge Boys, Rachel Rachel, The Showdown, Stryper, and an off-the-cuff live version by the Foo Fighters. The riff and parts of the song was also shortly featured live by Pantera in their song “Cowboys from Hell.”
“Dust in the Wind” has been covered by: Sarah Brightman, Scorpions (Acoustica), Christian artists Acappella and Billy Smiley, former New York Yankees center fielder and jazz guitarist Bernie Williams (The Journey Within), and ex-Kansas lead singer John Elefante (2006). It was sung by Will Ferrell during the movie Old School. It was prominently featured in several episodes of the television series Highlander and was referenced in the film Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. It gained additional exposure when used as the music for a Subaru commercial.

Before there were these “groups,” country music was a Lonesome Cowboy front with his guitar, caterwauling. The cats in the background were chattel, you know like “Bob Wills, and the Texas Playboys.”

Somewhere I read Alabama introduced the “group country band” to the country genre.
Since we are asked to be participants in the deserted island venue, we could also be a patron seated at a table in a bar, where every man is an island.
The fare could be whiskey and peanuts, or Steak and 32 beer, depending on the dimension of the private preferences.
So if we pick Alabama with prime Kansas corn fed beef, with 32 beer, we are breaking the rules?
No…not breaking the rules but, after all of that research…seems odd that you would lay off the whip down the stretch.
Okay then I am leaning to Alabama, Whiskey, and peanuts …
Do you get the regular boiled peanuts or the spicy ones?

spicy…..
Clyde May’s mash is a little sweet, so I’m going with plain peanuts.
“The Georgia peach is fair
Kentucky beyond compare
Alabama’s grand
The state not the band”
