I seem to have misplaced my Rock lately and feel like I've got kind of a hitch in my giddyup. I'm in Houston though, and while driving there played ZZ Top's 'La Grange' while driving past .. La Grange.

That's pretty Rock&Roll - maybe it'll help a bit. {*dramatic sigh*}

I actually played Cafe Tacuba while walking past Cafe Tacuba in Mexico City when I worked down there. Does this have anything to do with your point?

[RangerDenni]

why yes it does.

Very cool, Dee! I have to make my own awesome driving historicness. So I went to the end of my street where there is this big rock that was too much trouble for the builders to move, so they left it and planted flowers around it. So I went and bought a big rubber lobster and I put it on top of said rock.
Everyday when I pass by it, I crank the B-52s.

.....does this have anything to do with your point?

[RangerDenni]

This is most likely what I get for trying to be convermastational.

[Billy's Little Trip]

But as a ZZ Top fan, I love that you crank the Top as you drive past La Grange. They gotta lotta nice girls, ah!

[RangerDenni]

Heh. Maybe we should start doing ZZ Top covers and calling ourselves the Psychotic Rubber Lobsters

[Billy's Little Trip]

LOL. Perfect.

The other day I walked past where CBGB's used to be. And cried a little inside. Does this have anything to do with your point?

Last night I pointed my camera at the sky:



I knew my telephoto lens could see far, but DAMN.

How about fluffy's telephoto lens, Dee? Does this have anything to do with your point?

Sure that's not a streetlamp with sneakers hanging from it?

[fluffy]

It would be pretty impressive if someone put a street lamp in the direction of Jupiter.

[RangerDenni]

another good band name would be Unidentified Flying Sneakers, which brings all points home exactly.

[nyjm]

Whenever in Athens, Georgia and especially when passing by Weaver D's Delicious Fine Foods, it is de rigeur to play Automatic for the People.

Sigh. R.I.P. R.E.M.

(That would actually make a great cover band name...)

Today is All Saints' Day, so I play the Severed Heads song of the same name on this day every year.
How many songs are named after minor religious holidays?

[RangerDenni]

That's a good question and a cool tradition.

Sufjan Stevens has a song called "Casimir Pulaski Day," after a minor holiday observed in Illinois. Not a religious observance, but a minor holiday, for sure.

[king_arthur]

I was gonna post to say that the Grateful Dead used to have a song called "The Days Between." Now it's the name of an 8-day holiday run at the start of every August... but then I decided, "nah, all I ever do is post about the Grateful Dead. I'd better not."

So I didn't.

[HeuristicsInc]

I hadn't heard of that as a holiday... do you think we'll get it off of work?
-bill

[RangerDenni]

Ooo! Getting an eight day holiday?
I'd be Grateful if we dead...

(i thought I shouldn't post a pun so smelly...

... so I didn't. )
