After the show, I took the Cynics to Krystal. They had never been to one. Melissa and Joy had been teasing me about getting fat. I don't know why. At the counter Michael asked me what I was getting cuz he needed to gain some weight. Greg said that he thought Krystal was a chain of gas stations. I told him that they are. Several Cynics had upset stomachs the next morning. BTW, has anybody heard the Nine Pound Hammer live LP. How does it sound?

Merle Haggard was a prolific songwriter, and had a great voice, but his politics leave a little to be desired. I guess that's why the term "underground country" sounds so strange. People are so politically candy-assed in the south, it's hard to introduce new ideas. Maybe it's too much cotton between the ears from too many Grand Ole Opry tv specials, maybe it's residue from that war we had 135 years ago, but where else could Haggard have scored a hit with "Fighting Side of Me" in the late 60s? Austin, Texas has been for a while a destination for more progressive singer/ songwriters in the south. It's a University town, you can say what you want and no one will be shocked. Folks like Willie Nelson sum up the image of the country music "rebel", choosing not to play by the Nashville rules but rather cultivating his own image and style on his own terms. Other rugged individuals like Townes Van Zandt and Jimmie Dale Gillmore thrived in the Austin scene. Of course you won't hear too much radicalism when you turn on mainstream radio north of the Mason Dixon line either. Hey, you don't even here much Nirvana anymore, let alone the former #1 band Pearl Jam, who, if nothing else, at least tried something by taking on ticketmaster. All in all, if any groundbreaking development will happen in Country music, I doubt it will happen in Nashville, and hopefully us open-eared and open-minded folk will take note of it.

And then on the ultra-stupid, not so favorite end of things, Tyme (not a psych band) tears thru "Land of 1000 Dances" on BFTG 7 in drunken party glory. And The Things have a song called "In Your Soul", not a soul tune, but a favorite. I can think of others, but non pop into mind as "favorites", I'm sure Mr. Phillips will have a whole list, so I'll chime in later if I think of any more.
