Good seeing you last night, pard, wish we'd had a chance to talk more. Question: did you think the encore was an Assjack tribute? First thing that flew through my mind. Excellent show.
Of course it was a cello. A bass is what that enormous, taller-than-a-man light-colored thing next to the cello was. Personally, I thought the cello added nothing but distraction - should have been a traditional fiddle.

100% opportunistic, without any sort of discernable political philosophy other than "elect me"
This differs from "Why the hell not?" how?

Pitching and prospects are this team's biggest problem.
Ach. You could dateline this 1972, 1973, 1974, et al. If the Rangers had a gut, I'd punch it, for making me miserable for pretty much one-half of each of the last 34 years.
PS Bring back the red uniforms, Tom.

The gal in white is kind of sternly vixenish.

That's the beauty of George to me...he does exactly that, but in such a sweet way that they keep begging for more, heh heh.

George Strait can very definitely lay as equal a claim as any of those dudes. If anything, more so, because he's beaten Nashville at their own game, on his terms, regularly, and like a drum. In fact, I wish more Texas musicians would learn from George how to manage the Trashville machine...it might run some of that other garbage out of there.

Bark is yet another one of the really good writers that the News seemed to always have around (Gary West was another) yet quietly ignore. I read & enjoyed him since he got there until...well, until I quit buying the DMN some 10 years ago. Sorry, Ed, and congrats to PN for bullying him into doing something with yall. Consider this a vote for more of Ed, too.

Just wait (10 or 20 more years) till Dallas gets the Mayor Miller / D Magazine Memorial Bridges to Nowhere! Then we'll have our own indigenous culture (as long as you ignore the fact that they were designed by a Spaniard (or his interns.))

Re: Assjack - more in the sense of super-crunchy hardcore rock. The answering machine is what made me think of Hank 3. Probably wrongly.
