For Which Her Family Was Eternally Grateful

Bonus wackiness:

“Before we get started, let’s all say ‘Happy Birthday’ to Elvis Presley today,” Bachmann greeted event attendees at a “Join Team Bachmann” rally in Spartanburg, SC.

Today isn’t Elvis’s birthday. It’s the anniversary of when he left the building.

she’s obviously confused. spartanburg is the home of the marshall tucker band who sang,”…. can’t you see, can’t you see what that woe-man been doin’ to me? gonna find me a hole in the wall, gonna crawl inside and die….”

@jwmcsame: Love that song. It makes me sad to think that, as classic rock stations begin playing more songs from the 80s and even 90s, songs like that are going to get squeezed out.

@mellbell: no shit. how do journey and styx qualify as classic?

@mellbell: I liked it when it first came out when I was a kid in what – the Ford Administration?

@redmanlaw: that had to be nixon.

@redmanlaw: Ah yes. A badge of young music snobbery was to sniff “the Allmans with Duane were way better”.

@jwmcsame: Nixon it was. They were playing when I saw them warm up for the Allmans Bros in June, 1973.

@Nabisco: Hey, how is 5/9/79 sounding?

@SanFranLefty: Don’t tell anyone, but [stage whispers] I fell asleep. Srsly. Although first I confirmed that the lyrics on Shakedown do in fact name-check my hometown.

@Nabisco: Darling, I wish I could fall asleep during those shows but there’s something in the jangly guitar notes that jars me awake.
