Last night I couldn’t find anything to watch on TV.
So I stopped on CMT, which recently started showing reruns of Hee-Haw.
I remember going to my great grandparents house to visit occasionally when I was younger and they would be watching this.
I am under the impression that this is the worst show in the history of television.
^i think “mama’s family” has it beat.
That’s also a show that I can’t stand. I just don’t “get it.”
I read online that a member of Hee Haw was murdered (Stringbean) because it was rumored around Nashville that he kept a large quantity of cash on hand because he didn’t believe in banks (a product of the Great Depression). So 2 guys waited for him to come home and proceeded to blast away at him and his wife.
You learn something new every day.

It sounds like Jerry is dying on stage.
Unfortunately most of that show is brutal to these ears.
Although that So Many Roads SOARS.
I agree with you on the So Many Roads will.
Black Muddy river is also very heartfelt.
Oh yeah…7/9/95. Didn’t even think about that.
Man I wish I were 10 years older.
Just received some good news. A good friend and former band mate of mine has severe diabetes and as a consequence, chronic renal failure. He was just put on the list in California for a double kidney transplant.
such a long long time to be gone and a short time to BE THEEEEERRRRREEEEEE!!!
^^good to hear, sean.
LOL!
The splits is what did it for me, man.
To understand this post refer to last page, thank you you loving swirling morass of bastards.
Such was the Dead in the last years… when they sang the “Last time” you just never knew… by the time summer 95 came around I had been seeing the Dead for 4 years. Jerry was increasingly weird on stage… he would just randomly drop in and out of the music in the shows I saw that summer.
Great post fone… tho my parents never had that problem with me. In fact its the opposite, they’re always asking when they will see me. I picked up and left for good 6 months after I graduated college. My brother, on the other hand, is living at home as we speak… which is not good for both parties.
beach with friends in between shifts at the good pizza place = solid Wednsday afternoon.
I like biscuits.
I love the sound of my bass.
Welp, I’m out folks.
Weekend wedding getaway to the great state of Michigan. The Big Rapids area.
Not my wedding, a childhood friend. Should be a good time.
Won’t be back until Sunday afternoon/evening.
Keep it breezy, folks!

Since I’m not audio proficient yet, I can’t post this in the thread where it belongs. So in the meantime, I have to say that Ian’s idea of the audio thread is wonderful. I finally got to hear how Cletus Awreetus-Awrightus is actually pronounced and it was a truly great experience.
It was funny, but as I listened to his voice this morning around 5, I thought that Ian sounded pretty much as I imagined he would, a pretty comfortably laid back type of person, but with a bit of Pan in his attitude.
Nice to hear Augustus as well, keeping an eye on the first place Mets. Had me in stiches. You’re definitely a NewYorka.
