Now those are songs I can relate to. I think I'm gonna love this! Correction...I KNOW I'm going to love them!

"We played four years ago," the bass-playing governor told us. "It's one of those wonderful situations where it's rare to be invited the first time and even more rare to be invited back." The band's three-hour set will include boomer-pleasing songs by Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Rolling Stones, the Animals and the Eagles. What? No Linda Ronstadt or Dixie Chicks?

Huckabee brings his rock band, Capitol Offense, back to Washington this week to play at a ball put on by Free RepublicHey, I thought Huckabee was a good Southern Baptist...Doesn't that require you to play either country or western?

It was one heck of a party four years ago. This Thursday is going to be a lot of fun again!

A note the Governor sent with the photo reads, "I wanted you to have a photo of our band "Capitol Offense" playing in the Governor's Conference Room during a bill signing ceremony honoring Arkansas native Johnny Cash.

BTTT: From the same movie, Donald 'Duck' Dunn: We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.

"We're getting the band back together. We're on a mission from God!" My other favorite quotes from the Blues Brothers:
Elwood Blues:
"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses"
"It's got a cop motor: a 440 cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is this the new Bluesmobile, or what? "
Used to have a '73 400CU Chevy Caprice Demo Model Beast. Bought it after my final motorcycle crash. What a tank!
It got taken out by a Philly snowplow during an ice storm (unbeknownst to me). They towed it off the lot and stole all my Craftsman tools as part of the RAT-city deal.

Cool!
The Post said something nice about us. Well, they didn't say anything bad about us. We're making progress.
I wonder if Condoleeza Rice read her Post yesterday?

Caught part of Governor Mike giving the Arkansas State of the State address the other day. Good speaker plus he quoted local hero George Brett. Really wish I could be there Thursday ;-(

It must be pretty neat to have your own high powered security around your band all the time.
