Willie Nelson and Asleep at the Wheel – Hesitation Blues
If it wasn’t bad enough that poor Willie had to sing the IRS blues, now he’s looking at a pot bust of 6 oz’s in Tejas…!
And because I can, FDL’er That Guy sent me this awesome clip…
Those good ole boys can jam…!
What’s on your mind tonite…?

LOL, my SECOND ever ZED.
Whazzup pups!
Congrats, OFG…! Aloha…!
CT !
Another year gone by in the Canadian Flutie League … now onto Hockey !
Aloha!
Hope all is well with you and yours in that tropical wonderland!
*sigh* And the Oilers are in the cellar again…! 8-(
Aloha, Petro…!
Finally done with Federal jury duty. That stuff was beyond retarded, having to call in and check to see if I need to go in all the time. Should be one day or one trial, like California courts are.
On a brighter note, here’s a really neat video of an electric motorcycle.
Good, the Leafs could use the company … *g*
Aloha, Hannibal…! Electric is the way to go these days…!
Another sick/fun cycle vid, thanks.
I loved the speed-run through the Jersey turnpike piece, too.
Hey Tuttle!
*heh* All the good Canuck players have departed to southern climes, eh…?
woohoo — that second video forking rocks hard — country style :)
Aloha, newt…! How’s the Bay area weather doing…?
TG sent that to me earlier today…! I said hell’s ya…! ;-)
Checkin in! Pups!
Christine !
I left you a joke downstairs …
I’m usually embarrassed to announce the Cali weather, ’cause of our friends in arctic climes…
But being asked from Hawaii – cold as Heck!
Aloha, CE…! How’s Ohio doing…? ;-)
It’s definitely improving, still a long ways to go though, especially for cars.
Hey you! I’ll look…
Oh, please tell us how wonderful SanFran is … it keeps us warm in thought if not in body … *g*
*heh* I’m with ya on that…! The missus is grumbling about the chilly weather here of late…! (Dipping into the 60′s and all) ;-)
Very well, sunny and cool but not any snow to speak of!
dude
sunny, clear, in the upper 50′s, dry, still as can be
Happy?
My eldest is in Toledo so that sounds great…! ;-)
Sheet, that’s our forecast for tomorrow … *g*
Kisses and hugs…she can-survivie Toledo.
The Llano Estacado, I love it
Hi CT, Chris, everyone:)
So many bright shiny objects – so little time to be distracted from my distractions.
Wasilla: 17 degrees F. Blowing 40, gusting 70.
ET !
How are you doing, Sir ?
{{{ Margot }}}
*heh* It’s miles and miles of Texas…!
Aloha, Margot…!
Eyes half shut, hey pups, nice tunes CT, thanks.
Zbigniew Brzezinski earlier on the News Hour, foreign interests “seeding,” wikileaks docs with misinformation to dupe everybody and influence world policy.
Can’t fool me, I read MAD magazine, Spy vs Spy vs Spy, and know all the tricks. ;-)
Never been to Late, Late FDL, I’m usually fast asleep, but I’m having severe insomnia. I miss Waylon, Johnny, Conway and the people that could really sing country music.
I’m not sure of the rules here, the fare seems pretty light, but I’ve got lots on my mind: What the hell was the CEO of WalFart doing meeting with Obama yesterday.? Never heard an actual report. When is Obama going to have some unemployed people to the White House? I’m pretty pissed Obama and every fucking body in Washington expects the working class to “sacrifice” to balance the budget. I’ve sacrificed my job, my health insurance, some of my saving. I’m done fucking sacrificing anything. I can’t wait for Julian Assange to release his Wall Street papers. I think Mr. Assange is Nobel Prize worthy. Oh, and I really don’t give a rat’s ass that Obama got his lip busted.
Brrr… You’re a stouter individual than I…! ;-)
Aloha, ET…!
i’m under a high wind warning sustained 35 to 40 and gusts up to 65 tonight. so far, some mild wind but nothing to make the hair on token’s back even think about starting to stand up
Suz !
oldhippiejan, here are the Late Late Night rules:
There are no rules.
Glad you could come by.
/~~~
Insomnia sux, indeed…! Aloha and definitely let your hair hang out…! Most excellent rant…! ;-)
Petro!
*gasp* lurk forgot to mention the most important fact.
lurk can be easily ah ummm well, distracted with dark chocolate and pecans.
petro!
oldhippiejan, when Suzanne says ‘distracted’, what she means is ‘bribed’.
/~~~
Mahalo, nq…! If there’s seeding of the leaks, which there is, it’s on our part…! Remember that the system was created in ’04 so take with appropriate shaker of salt…! 8-(
dammit lurk, i was being polite. you sure get sassy when i’m not running the show
welcome to late late nite oldhippiejan
Big news in WI earlier this evening was a HS hostage situation. Lone student gunman ended after about five hours when he attempted suicide. No one else hurt. Now I’m imagining our school is going to be getting scanners.
I questioned the lack of effectiveness of the present lock down systems installed 5 years ago and told them that this very type of thing could happen. Questioning ineffective spending was not to be listened to, back then.
The insomnia might be due to the holidays. I’m one of the few people that deplore Christmas, sick to death of the damn commercials, Black Friday, Black Monday and the entire greedy damn process. I’ve put on a pot of coffee. Don’t know if it’s too early or too late to start drinking, or should just get into my stash.
Petro – sorry, distracted by another bright shiny object. Doing well. And you?
Hence the MAD mag reference. Good evening from frozen and now thawed out already, northern WI. 44 degrees and rain, any winds these days are always sustained and strong.
Had to check that he served under president Carter.
Had to google “stash.” Forgot what that was.
You go, girl!! But you keep this tone up and you’re gonna need those chocolates. :]
Mr. Obama’s lip sutures won’t cost him a thing. Socialist medicine will take care of him and his.
KO had Larry Wilkerson, Powell’s ex-CoS, on and he stated in no uncertain terms that the cables were often written by Bush appointees for Bush appointees…! He mentioned the word obstruction once or twice…!
Yo Tut..
Where there hell did you find that Cooder guy who isn’t Ry?
Nicely done.
A MUCH Different Llano Estacado
Tom Russell-Americana Sanger/Songwriter Legend.
Cooder is kewl! That pedal steel picker is a hoss, Jim Whisenhunt.
N what’s not to like about Willie N Ray Benson!
*G*
Oh, but there are. Or is one.
That Guy emailed it to me this afternoon…! Couldn’t pass it up…! ;-)
Aloha, Larue…! Like cowbell, can never have enough steel pedal…! ;-)
Aloha yer fine island self . . . two good picks dude, with pedal!
*G*
Quarter for jukebox . . .
Tom Russell Classic, WIth Andrew Harden.
I don’t know enough about any of this leaked stuff, but the release always seems to be much less of a big deal than the hype leading up to it.
I follow it the best that I am able, try to understand it and hope it does something to finally get us out of militarily messing with every other country in the world.
Peace, I’m signing out for the evening. Thanks for hosting.
Don’t believe the hype…! At least the GOPer’s dire warnings…! ;-)
I’m working on a Wikileak post to put it in the proper perspective…!
Pleasant dreams…
Be very careful what you say. …just saying:]
That is simply beautiful. Hugs to you and your sweetie.
LOL, I so here you I thought it was me.
Put on the coffee, or don’t put on the coffee, but if you’ve got a stash, have a hit (maybe three).
Things don’t really seem to change, but your outlook on them do.
And maybe that’s the best we can do these days.
And yes, that is far, far, beyond sad.
the only prescription
No doubt about it…! We do live in ‘interesting times’…! 8-(
Yep.
No doubt.
If we all get through this, we’ll have a hell of a story to tell the grandkids.
It’s a shame we have to wonder if there really will be any grandkids…
evening, CT … firedawgs
Did Someone Say Wikileakin?
Evening to all in passing .. great tunes for country .. Willie is STILL buckin’ the system .. Wikileaks my arse .. if that is the worst thing they got then the politically correct police must have edited this edition .. my Mom says worse and she’s an 86 year old saint who runs a catholic church while she’s waiting for canonization ..
Thanks Margot! I can’t gush enough about Tom Russell . . . *G*
Best to you and yours as well . . .
*heh* I need more cowbell…! ;-)
Aloha, PPD…!
Aloha, tearloch…! I hope BC is doing well tonite…!
A song and artist I’d never heard of until a fest pal turned me onto the internet stream BootLiquor dot com . . .
Corb Lund, Horse Soldier
Just a danged well written song about a topic ya dont hear about every day in Americana Music, or ay other genres for that matter.
Gotta run Pups, hug ‘em close n make ‘em smile . .

BC be good thanks CT .. cool and crisp .. clean with the winter stash tucked away and the woodshed full .. even pulled out my old 12-string and got it ready for new strings .. gonna try some slide thanks to the Cat Food song by Lindley that I think Suz played(?) .. that song has got me all motivated ..
Passing thru .. stay safe all .. and sleep tight ..
Sleep tight, tearloch and Larue…!
hi PPD!
Got plenty of chocolate. Butterfinger bars, KitKat’s, M & M’s, Snickers, some kind of generic Turtles and if worse comes to worse some chocolate baking chips. I keep this shit around for my granddaughter, but most of it seems to end up on my ass.
how’s everything in OH this morning, margot?
That seems to be the same place as my better half’s indulgences end up…! ;-)
I do like a little junk in the trunk…
After about three, I forget what I’m pissed about. Can’t hang like I used ta. And yeah, I think that’s the best we can do, no “maybe” about it.
Glad I could give you a chuckle.
Wish I had HiSpeed internet instead of this shitty dial-up so I could hear this music y’all are talkin’ about. I do appreciate some good “steel”.
That Cooder Graw is some great steel…! ;-)
I shall bid ya’ll a fond adieu… Mahalo and Aloha Oe…! *g*
night all, be well
