Now it all makes sense.

Neon Sign Fails
If John Mellencamp had his way, all neon & fluorescent signs would look like that one. Here are some other examples of what happens when the gas leaks or the ballast craps out.
[Found in here, and there’s more. I was going to add some to their collection, but the site requires log-ins with passwords and stuff so I passed. Their loss.]
BTW, this is Mellencamp’s best song IMO, and the line is “That’s when a smoke was a smoke.” Not a spoke. Not a sport. Not a spote. Not a spork. A smoke.

Need an area rug with your initials woven into it? Nah, didn’t think so.
From Wikipedia:
…Got a black cat bone

I got John the Conqueror root,
I’m gonna mess with you…
According to her mother, her Great Grandfather had a very long tongue, too.
“In 2009, it was named the 24th-greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1. It is also often regarded as an influence on heavy metal music and being one of the firsts of the genre.”
Guess the song before you click here.

Saturday Matinee – The Reverend Horton Heat, Beverly Watkins & Buckwheat Zydeco,
I don’t listen to food shows on the radio, at least not intentionally, but sometimes I do by accident.
KFIAM640 features “The Fork Report” on Saturdays, featuring Neil Saavedra, and his themesong is pretty cool. Lordy, lordy. Last night I suddenly realized that he’s been playing The Reverend Horton Heat all this time. If you’re offended by Rockabilly cheesecake videos, click on it, turn away and just listen. The song is fun. The video is funner.
Yeah, I found that mildly amusing, but then I’m easily amused. So let’s go visit Beverly Watkins instead.
From the UToobage description:
Beverly Watkins plays a mean blues guitar, and that’s putting it mildly. Over six decades of performing, the 77-year-old has opened for Ray Charles, James Brown, BB King and other legendary musicians. She’s one of the greatest female blues guitarists, and still plays local gigs in Atlanta.
Not convinced? Try this.
Here’s some bad news.
Stanley “Buckwheat” Dural Jr. passed away Saturday, 24 September 2016 at the age of 68. The vid features Lenny Kravitz and Ry Cooder. Rock on, Buck [via].
We all move on, despite what we would like to believe. Have a great weekend, folks, and let’s all have fun while we still can.

Hot Tub In The Old Town Tonight
Okay, I have some questions.
Who’s tending the fire? Where’s the ladder? How did they get in, and how do they get out? Where’s the beer, wine and cheese? Who would get into that thing knowing that there’s a guy with a ponytail involved? How do they post selfies? Who took the photo, and why was he/she excluded and demoted to temperature control? Who is making the *ahem* bubbles?
So much bizarre in that photo. I like it.
