Most backwards state

Um, no thank you.

'Sides, if I ever were to move to the South, it'd have to be Tennessee, somewhere near Nashville, since many of my favorite musicians live and play in that area. But I don't think I ever could do that - just the thought of possibly getting stuck in a tornado scares the crap out of me. I'll take California's earthquakes over that any day.

i knew it was you before i even asked. I just wanted to see you admit it. I almost put "i wanted to know who the hell voted for ky...other than me" i haven't voted yet, though. I'm still deciding.

Oh yeah, and I want to know something, how come California didn't make the list?

I mean, we voted a crappy, no talent, all-braun-and-no-brains Rupublican action movie star who goes around in his Humvee and calls the Democrats "girlie men" to run our state. How backwards and looney can you get?

(Just the for record, by "we" I mean "they," because I sure as hell didn't vote for the bastard.)

Dude, come into the here & now -- I haven't hit on Curtis in two years!

Where I live in Pennsylvania... I suppose because we're so close to the border... it's common to make wisecracks about West Virginia. (For example... Q: Why do they call it toothpaste instead of teethpaste? A: Because it was invented in West Virginia!)

That's why I like where I live so much. We don't have the level of intolerance and prejudice often associated with Southerners (though not to say that we're the most progressive place one could live), but the people around here are still warm and friendly like Southerners often are.
I know the names of every single person who lives on my block, and we look out for one another (checking on elderly neighbors if we haven't seen or heard from them for a couple of days, picking up a neighbor's mail and newspaper for them while they're away, and so on).
I like it that way.

I would take Gov. Arnold over the governors of any of the states listed in this poll.

Me too. No thank you!
The ENTIRE reason I left the small town that I grew up in, was: Everybody knew everybody's business. You knew every cop on a first name basis(and not from experience!) There was basically ZERO privacy. No fukcing thanks! I prefer complete, and total, anonymity.

I'm planning an extended trip to Nashvegas next week. I was just going for two days, but then found out that my favorite band is playing, two nights after I was planning on leaving(and they're playing two nights in a row), so, I'm taking a couple extra days off, and have a Hillbilly music, PBR swillin', drunken fiasco of a time.

Although I can't say that I know all that much about all the governers of those states as one of the 'special interests 'whose butt Arnie vowed to kick I'm still not a big fan of his..I am anxious to see how the universal health care coverage works out though..if he can pull it off props to him.

Ain't it the truth ya'll...

Hope you have a great time!!

Sadly, I won't be back out there for at least a few more months. I'm broke from the holidays and the thought of flying in this freezing ass weather just isn't working in my favor. Maybe I'll do it in May as a birthday present to myself, again.

Thanks.

Oh, I'm broke, too. But, it's only a 4 hour drive for me. I try to go, anytime I get a full weekend off(usually about 5 weekends a year). But, now that Cash is gone, I'll be able to go in the summer, too.....so I'm going for the Nashvegas record this year! Someday, I'll probably live there. I love that town.
I REALLY can't afford to stay for 6 nights(so I'll be looking for the cheapest Fleabag motel out there!), but I NEED to see my favorite country band. Their future is tentative, at best, as Blob Dylan stole their showstopping instrumentalist guy(but he's off for a couple weeks, that's why they're playing two shows).

Yeah, it's like a five hour flight for me, not including the layover. And a whole lotta dough that I just don't have.

Oh well, I don't know of any gigs going on over there that I'm dying to see at the moment anyway. So which band is this that you're going to see?

BR5-49.
It's country meets rockabilly. Their height of popularity was when swing dancing was huge, about 7-8 years ago. They've got 6-7 CDs out.

And it's no "cry in your beer" type of music either. It's foot stompin', beer drinking, sing along music. I love it!


PS- I'd love it if Bob Welch, or Billy, or Rick were playing. Rick was playing one time that I was there, and I didn't go, because I already had plans. I'm still kicking myself in the ass for that one!

I may have to check them out.

I'm really hoping to be able to catch a Billy show, but I never know when he's playing a gig until either there's not enough time to book a trip, or the show's already happened. I'd love to be able to see Bob Welch or Rick Vito as well, but I NEVER know when they're playing.
