My many thanks to Backup Singer Matt Kall, who did a great job
churning out lists and keeping everybody in line. Without him
to step up, the Music list might have died a slow death from
apathy and inattention, like American constitutional democracy.
I owe him a pecan pie and a big, sloppy, wet kiss.
And now, we return you to your regularly
scheduled musical funnitude, already in progress.

He sends someone down?”

5> “I needed to be married to that Courtney skank like I needed

3> “Has anyone seen Keith Richards? He said he was going out for
a smoke and no one’s seen him since. That was, like, 20
years ago.”
2> “Well, if the folks from Country & Western Heaven wanted to
keep their halos, they shouldn’t have bet them on the softball
game.”
