Here is Tina Fey from last night. While this is funny, the striking similarity of the beliefs represented in this skit to the vice-presidential candidate’s beliefs is nothing short of terrifying. I am convinced that John McCain might have won the election if he hadn’t botched his choice for vp as badly as he did. He likes the proverbial hail mary, fine, but when the quarterback take the snap and the throws the ball towards the opposite end zone, we all must wonder about his competence.

As James McMurtry says in Choctaw Bingo, “We’re going to have ourselves a time.”

Right on James. I can’t wait to be back in town tomorrow.

I can safely speak for the ATB to say we are all thrilled about opening for Brandon Jenkins and having another opportunity to play at Longhorns.

Personally, I couldn’t be more excited. I have liked Jenkins’ music for as long as I have known about Red Dirt Country (whatever the heck that is).

While he may be most widely known as the guy who wrote several hit songs for Stoney LaRue and Bleu Edmondson (“Feet Don’t Touch the Ground,” “Down in Flames,” “Finger on the Trigger,” etc.), alone, that tag doesn’t do him justice. The guy is great guitar player, songwriter, and has a rocking little combo out of Austin. I sincerely hope people in the Manhattan area turnout for his show–the last time I saw him the crowd was disappointing.

Hope everyone has a great day and is ready to “have themsevles a time” tomorrow night.
