    1990 was also the year that gave us chart-busting sales for MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. 'Nuff said.

    From Truckin' Roots

    "his mule didn't eat no diesel fuel, he ate grass for energy

    and grandpa's restroom when he stopped was behind a big ol' tree"

    More nostalgic propaganda from those environmental nuts... where's Ronald Bailey when you need him!?

  3. Jimbo   21 years ago

    After listening to "Weird Waitress" I condemn you to hell, Jesse Walker. My weekend is ruined.

  4. Ken Shultz   21 years ago

    The "King of Truckabilly!" moniker hooked me in. Whoever wrote the caption is amazed at the mixture of Rap and Trucker Music, but after listening to the first track, "Buck Truck", I'm sure I've heard a fusion of styles much more surprising than that. Other than "Buck Truck", anywhere in existence, is there another example of what happens when Trucker Music meets Ska?

  5. Ken Shultz   21 years ago

    ...It gives a whole new meaning to the term, "trucker skank".

    Ok, I tried #s 1,3, and 6 and could only take a little of each one. Hey Jesse, Fun on Fridays??

    Two things: 1. Now is the ethical ie fair ie libertarian thing to do is to erase those songs after we have listened to them and go out and buy the CD if we actually like them?

    2.This is as good a time as any to pull out the gratuitous Friday New Wave link. It's the Go Go's !

    Mozilla Firebird has tabbed browsing. This allows you to open multiple pages in one browser window.
    By opening each song in a new tab I was able to listen to all the tracks at once. It is almost like
    listening to the CB radio.

  8. matt   21 years ago

    Holey shit!

  9. dan   21 years ago

    darn it! we broke the link! The titles aren't linken as of right now and the urls in my history file turn up 404 errors. This is not fun anymore.
