So, Super Bowl ads portraying the current and past struggles and accomplishments of immigrants are "anti-Trump"... hmm... meanwhile, it is becoming increasingly clear that, not only is a white supremacist in the White House, but he is actually the one calling the shots.
Moving on - for now - took in some excellent music over the weekend. Friday night - enjoyed another outstanding Tim Carroll Rock n Roll Happy Hour with Reeves Gabrels - who currently plays guitar with The Cure and who played for many years alongside David Bowie - added his unique and distinct musical voice to the show. After that, I headed to the Basement for a pretty darn stacked lineup that included Reuben Bidez, Tim Easton, Don Gallardo, and a full-band set from Rayvon Pettis.
Saturday - faced with a myriad of choices, I trekked to Brentwood for Joanna Barbera's CD Release show with Megan Palmer opening. Then, I made my way to The Basement East in time to catch a rousing set by Chuck Mead and the Grassy Knoll Boys - part of Honky Tonk Saturday.
Sunday was spent working and resting and working and watching some game...
Time for Music City Monday - music from or connected to Nashville..
"A Lifetime At Best" by The Buddies
The shuffle begins with The Buddies from their self-titled album. High-energy rock and roll music featuring members of Black Vincent, Smoking Flowers, and Justin and the Cosmics
"Big Legged Woman" by Mike Cullison
Next up - E2TG favorite Mike Cullison with a track from Front Porch Philosophy extolling the virtues of a certain type of female.
"The Trip" by Dave Rawlings Machine

We close things out with a Nashville (by way of DC) songwriter whose songs always manage to lift my spirits. This is a track from her latest CD - More.
