This show is at Honey Bee in Oxford Galleria. I didn't know there is a Oxford Galleria, so I'm thinking it must be out on the west side of town.

Happy birthday, Nature Humphries!
Be sure, dear reader, and enjoy the page Nature created in the current Local Voice on Waltz restaurant. It's some of the best alternative journalism around and embodies the spirit in which the newspaper was founded.
http://www.thelocalvoice.net/
In 1984, I celebrated Natures' birthday by going to hear Steve Stephens play guitar for Billy Idol on Mud Island, just off the coast of Memphis:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-zsLejnm_w
Flamenco guitar solo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPwf6g3HK9Y&feature=related
Such a great night in Oxford last night at the Power House, and such a local thing: art by Liz Rathbone, food by Dubby of Party Waiting To Happen, blues by Little Joe Ayers, Trenton Ayers and Dave Woolworth and beer by Lazy Magnolia: Jefferson Sweet Potato stout.
Okay, Lazy Magnolia is from down in South Mississippi. Maybe a local beer brewery is another business Oxford mayor Pat Patterson can start in, you know, a later and better life.
I was hitch-hiking into Oxford this morning and a really pretty girl with beautiful eyes picked me up.
"You're my first hitch-hiker," she said.
In later conversation, she allowed:
"I read books."
"What do you like to read?" was my question.
"Mostly, I read non-fiction fantasy," she said.
My dog Wayne used to do this exact thing, but in a better-looking room:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8rx...player_embedded
As you get older, do you appreciate rock and roll more every day?
Me, too.
So, tonight I'll see you at Proud Larrys as O, Brother plays with the reckless and melodic abandon they are known for! Opening the show is those Jackson rockers Boyscout and Oxford's Unwed Teenage Mothers.
http://www.myspace.com/obrothermusic
http://obrothermusic.blogspot.com/
Unwed Teenage Mothers:
http://www.myspace.com/theunwedteenagemothers
Live, on stage and in person tonight at Roosters Blues House:
Dickey Do and the Don'ts
http://www.myspace.com/dickeydothedonts
Tonight at Snackbar is the Offbeats Jazz Ensemble.
Singer Songwriter Road Trip, featuring John Milstead, Busted Screen Door and Jamie Davis & Gravy, is at the Lyric Theater tonight.
http://stjuderoadtrip.com/
Speaking of our ol' buddies The Lyric, their new sign on the building front looks classy and elegant.
Tickets for the Bob Dylan show tonight at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco will be made available only today at 9am Pacific at the box office window. 60 bucks each, limit of one per person.
Hey Sox! Here's that Johnny Cash/Eazy E mash-up you were looking for!
http://viprhealthcare.typepad.com/f...staz-106bpm.mp3
This is a very good Wall Street Journal story about NFL player Zoltan Mesko, called "The Most Interesting Man In The NFL":
http://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WS...3293453130.html
But as for NFL players with cool names, I still gotta go with my man Frank Zombo of the 12-time NFL Champions Green Bay Packers:
http://www.packers.com/team/roster/...3-8d02454afb56/
I am so ignorant of illegal drugs.
Here, in #2 of the collection of "TV's Most Epic Drug Trips," the blonde freaks on glint. What is glint? I don't know, but in #3, the drug of choice is Guatemalan Insanity Pepper, and I have to get me some of that.
http://flavorwire.com/113714/tvs-10-most-epic-drug-trips
In #7, it's pot brownies on That '70s show. I stopped watching That '70s Show because it had so little to do with the 1970s, but I did hang on awhile because that redhead was so damn good-looking.
100% worth watching:
A 1922 screen test for Kodachrome:
http://www.youtube.com/v/J_RTnd3Smy8
Don't miss the lips at 1:59!
Another early color film test, France 1912:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzn3ChF023Q
A phenomenal 1959 film by D.A. Pennebaker about an American exposition in Moscow:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_yW...player_embedded
This is a condensed version, but a masterpiece. That Pennebaker is talent.
National Public Radio yesterday broadcast this report on New Orleans music after Katrina:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129406974
This morning on Morning Edition, NPR broadcast this very nice piece in Andrew Loog Oldham:

Happy 4oth birthday yesterday to my friend who is a and has the same initials as Knock Out!
Happy birthday today to Joe Strummer, a good man.
Dennis Cook wrote a nice short piece on Joe and it is here (nice selection of videos, too):

It's being advertised on Mississippi public radio that the Thacker Mountain show going on tonight in Ocean Springs is going to be broadcast live and if that's the case, then it happens at 7 on the Oxford airwaves at WMVA 90.3
The music this week is sublime: Yalobushwackers, Caroline Herring and Tupleo's Homemade Jamz Blues Band.
Speaking of our ol' buddy great music, here it is tonight at Proud Larrys!
Megan Huddleston of Mister Baby is opening for The Minor Adjustments!
It's CD release party for The Minor Adjustments and this will be a great show, which happens when such great musicians form new directions out of the ample talent they're blessed with.

Megan (Mister Baby):

Good Colour Revolt article from the Thursday Tupelo Daily Journal:

Monday, August 16, 2010
I was hitch-hiking Saturday morning and these two hardcore country guys in a '78 Mustang stopped to pick me up. I wedged into the back seat, where there was a lot of camping gear, a 38-pack of toilet paper seatbelted into a child seat, two cases of Coca-Cola and what I thought was tent pole standing up from the floorboard almost to the ceiling. I wrapped my right arm around it.
A few miles later and going fast into a right-side curve, I leaned far over and realized it was not a tent pole but a rifle.
I was reminded of the time I was hitching to the alpaca farm out on Highway 30 when I got in a car and sat on a pistol laying on the seat.
Yesterday morning, those same two hardcore country guys in the same '78 Mustang stopped and picked me up and that same rifle was in the same place and I wrapped my same right arm around it.
The best sports show on radio airs tonight at 6 on WORD 93.7: The Rebel Yell Hotline!
Babe Ruth died 62 years ago today.
Here is Bob Dylan and band a year ago today, performing "Heartbreak Hotel":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FmW46oVQ_A
Here is "Johnny Bye Bye." Bruce Springsteen wrote this song about the death of Elvis Presley just after he heard the news.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_50fxaPagyM
Jonathan Franzen is on the cover of Time this week, the first novelist on the front of the magazine since the last millennium. Here is a good examination if the writers who have graced the cover since 1920, including selected covers (Faulkner tried to buy his way out of being on the cover a second time):
http://www.themillions.com/2010/08/...ry-of-time.html
Stephen King was on a cover in the aughts, but got only a paragraph in that edition.
This a very nice commercial that features a rainbow-eating giraffe who is being "milked" for Skittles by a Rastafarian:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8I6...player_embedded
The giraffe is cool, but not as cool as this dog swinging in a swing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPZu...player_embedded
I love a happy dog.
I was disappointed by this list of "30 hot girls making duckfaces" except for this one:

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
"Johnny Bye Bye" - Bruce Springsteen
Well she drew out all her money from the Central trust
And she put her little boy on the Greyhound bus
Leavin’ Memphis with a guitar in his hand
On a one-way ticket to the promised land
Now hey little girl with your red dress on
There’s a party tonight down in Memphis town
I’ll be going down there if you need a ride
Come on, come on, let’s go tonight
How many have fallen with their dream denied
Now tell me baby are you lonesome tonight
‘Cause the man on the radio says Elvis Presley died
Come on, come on, let’s go tonight
Down in Dixie tonight the sky is hard and black
Comin’ up over the ridge one long white Cadillac
They stand along the roadside waitin’ in the heat
Bound together forever in the promise of an endless sleep
Well they found him slumped up against the drain
With a whole lot of nothin’ runnin’ through his veins
Well bye-bye Johnny, Johnny bye-bye
You didn’t have to die, you didn’t have to die

In the early 1970s there was this cool Tupelo disc jockey named Leeroy Green. He was at WTUP 1490 and I used to see him at Newsom's Music Store, buying records, and this head shop my uncle ran, The Right Direction.
I liked Leeroy a lot. In Tupelo, he really was a rebel, to the disdain of conformists who considered themselves Rebels.
Leeroy always had exotic newspapers under his arm. The Village Voice. Crawdaddy. Rolling Stone when it was a newspaper. The New York Times!
Leeroy was about 18 years older than me and would listen to whatever rant I had going on about John Lennon, Frank Zappa or Bruce Springsteen.
He would give me his old copies of the Voice and I used to read everything in them. One thing I very much loved was the ads for New York music venues, and one place in particular: The Bottom Line.
The first two records had already made me a Springsteen freak and this week in 1975, he and the E Street Band started a five-night, ten-show residency at The Bottom Line. The shows are legendary amongst Springsteen devotees and they have Star-Club status with me. The shows started 35 years ago yesterday.
I remember being a kid in Tupelo and, thanks to Leeroy, reading the Village Voice ad for those shows. New York was seemingly on another planet.
This American Heritage article about the week of shows notes that Rolling Stone in 2004 called the run "One of the 50 moments that changed the history of rock and roll."

Dick Waterman has a nice remembrance of Little Feat drummer Richie Hayward:

Scott Baretta's Highway 61 blues show airs at that same place at 11pm tonight and 5 again in the pm tomorrow night.

American Routes focuses on Alabama -the state- tonight and airs at midnight.
http://americanroutes.publicradio.org/
Tomorrow on Whadya' Know is the big 25th anniversary show for those folks and the guest host for the show is Kaye Bryant of Oxford. Wisconsin public radio flew her up after she was such a big hit on the show when it visited Oxford three years ago and she told about her earlier life as a Hooker.

Robbie Fulks is the music guest.
Here is a Errol Castens story about Bryant being selected:

I have lots of good news!
The best college sports show on radio, the Rebel Yell Hotline, hits the air again tonight at 6pm. I haven't been able to find out what station Chuck and Stan will be on in Oxford this year, but last year it was WQLJ 93.7. Other possibilities: WOXD 95.5, WUMS 92.1 and WDUD 105.5.
Your World Series champion, best-record-in-baseball NEW YORK YANKEES play at 1pm today against the boston red sox in YANKEE STADIUM. The game will be television broadcast on television on the MLB network and on radio on WCBS 880.

There is truly excellent live music in Oxford tonight.
First, you have an opportunity to see and hear Nic Cowan in a small-venue setting with excellent sound. He's playing next week in Nashville, two nights at Bridgestone Arena (you know, that big place where Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and such play) or tonight in more intimate surroundings at Proud Larrys (and with better sound!).
Cowan is cut from the Paul Thorn/James Taylor/Todd Snider mold and will deliver an excellent show tonight.

Second, you have Oxford's very own Unwed Teenage Mothers playing at Two Stick with, making a rare Mississippi appearance, San Francisco's The Pleasure Kills.

The NEW YORK YANKEES won the game, so I was one of the happy and blessed people streaming out of YANKEE STADIUM then in September of 2008. After the obligatory beer at the Yankee Tavern, I got the D train down to lower Manhattan, where a friend, Jerry Joseph, was playing at the Living Room on Ludlow Street.
I didn't know Bret Mosley would be there, but I'm glad he was. Mosley knows his way around stringed instruments in Lindleyesque fashion and he sure can sing the songs he writes.
I saw a Bret a few more times in that two+ weeks I was there for the end of old YANKEE STADIUM and his music was a highlight of the trip. He's touring in the South right now and performs a free show tonight at Roosters Blues House. I hope to see you and your sister there.

Speaking of our ol' buddies the World Series champion, in first place with the best record in baseball, NEW YORK YANKEES, they play today at 3pm in YANKEE STADIUM on WHBQ channel 13 against the lowly boston red sox. Big boss man C.C. SABATHIA will pitch against the lackey known as John Lackey.
