Let's go country


I wasn't aware of this cover until one of Johnny Cash's American albums, and I think I like his better than Lefty Frizzell's original

We promised one every day


And no eighteen hour work day is going to stop us.

This song's been covered a lot of times, but this is the only one I know of to tweak the list of problems in the world, adding a few 80s items to the list.

I tend to forget this is a cover


Both versions are great, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Five Finger Death Punch, no way I can choose between the two, but this version is particularly special, 5FDP got Brian May, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Brantley Gilbert (?) for it.

Is there a bad version of this song?


I mean I've heard the big three, but also a few covers, all of which were at least different. You can thank SXM for turning me onto this version last night.

It amazes me how the National Park Service is the most vocal department against Fascism. Even the Democrats are a mumble when... – @truth-has-a-liberal-bias on Tumblr

Forgot this was a cover


I grew up with this version, so it is the one I prefer, but I gotta say the original by Brownsville Station is quite good, and shockingly never seems to show up on any classic rock, oldies, or similar stations, which seems a bit of a shame.

Fun day


Not much to say about #today, relatively slow down, household finance stuff and did some work for fun. Yes, work for fun, picked up in Glen Carbon, did one drop in Edwardsville, three in Marine, and one in Highland, four from WalMart, one from Petsmart. I've already more than made my money for the week, so there was no need to do any more, but... Couldn't resist.

Too many miles for too little money, but like I said, did it for fun. Turns out I've been to both towns, did Amazon deliveries in Marine around 2018, and last time me and @Vik-Thor / Lirleni Hankeshe drove out to PA to visit my family, we'd stopped in Highland at Huddle House for breakfast. Ain't a Huddle House no more, which is a shame as I like them, but I'm up for trying the new place, Eddies Rise 'n Dine, if'n it's still around next time. Whole thing was just wandering around rural and small town Illinois for a few hours, then coming back 44 miles.
