The Real Buffalo Joe

Play me the songs about a ramblin' man Put old Jim Beam in my hand Cause you know I still love to get drunk and hear country sounds But don't play Your Cheatin' Heart, 'Cuz that'll tear me all apart, I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound Yeah old Hank's songs always make me feel low down

Anybody else a fan of 50's rock and roll. I've always been a history buff, so I've always had a respect for early rock and roll. Little Richard, Chuck Berry, etc. When I first learned guitar I got even more into it because I could strum the three chords I knew and play simple versions of all of it. But I've always been a huge fan of Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, Chubby Checker, Bo Diddley just to name a few. Even saw, and shook hands with Chuck Berry and Chubby Checker after their shows before.

I used to think country music was dead. Then I realized there's so many great country music artists out there. But if they're not talking about partying in the mud, and named dropping Johnny Cash, they don't get radio play.

They've put out a few albums recently (recent being in the past 15-20 years) that actually get back to their blues rock roots. La Futura was produced by Ric Ruben and was fantastic.

In before Allen haters to come in and say that a good QB wouldn't have so many 3rd and longs to begin with.

Well he's a friend of them long-haired hippie type pinko [redacted] I betcha he's even got a Commie flag Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage He's a snake in the grass I tell ya guys He may look dumb but that's just a disguise He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage They all started lookin' real suspicious at him And he jumped up an' said just wait a minute Jim You know he's lyin' I've been livin' here all of my life I'm a faithful follower of Brother John Burch And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church And I ain't even got a garage you can call home and ask my wife

I collected records back in high school. My uncle was moving and gave me a whole milk crate full of records. Included were Tres Hombres, Eliminator, ZZ Top's First Album (That's the actual album title), and Rio Grande Mud. I listned to Eliminator somewhat frequently, and Tres Hombres all the time. But I didn't recognize any of the songs on ZZ Top's First, or RGM, so I never played them. One day I finally decided to check out their first. It was some of the best ZZ Top I'd ever heard and I was kicking myself for not putting it on earlier. After hearing it, I was so excited to hear RGM. I pulled it out, put the record on, put the needle down. F*ucking Barbara Streisand! One of his friends played a prank on him that he didn't notice 25 years earlier. And the actual record was back in Michigan where he grew up.

She grew up in a household that was obsessed with Texas/Texas AM. Her dad was a season ticket holding, die hard Oilers fan. But she was like 3 when they left, and they never really got into the Texans in the way they were into other sports. I felt genuinely sorry for her in the Patriots*/Falcons Super Bowl. She was super excited at half time. She didn't understand why I wasn't excited. "I hate the Patriots* more than you'll ever understand. But, I respect the hell out of them. And if there's one team that can still pull a win out of their ass, it's these guys. I've seen this episode dozens of times, and I won't get excited until it's over." I was right.

I just feel sorry for my wife. She's become a Bills fan over the last few years. She's only really followed them in the playoff year in 17. Last year, which was built to be a rebuilding year, and this year, our best season in decades. She hasn't truly felt the pain of mediocre season where we're pulling out the charts of what we need to do to make the playoffs and ultimately have your heart broken over the outcome of the Ravens playing San Diego, just to have the Bills lose their game anyway.

I self indentify as a 72 year old lesbian. Still waiting on the social security office to stop being so bigoted and send me my checks please. But for real. I know enough practical stuff to get by. I've just never been fascinated by cars. I fit most of the other "macho" stereotypes. I know enough about basic pluming and around the house handy work. Just never caught the car fascination bug I guess.

I felt great. I also had my one year wedding anniversary. So after the game we went to a fancy steakhouse, and then went home and celebrated some more, if you catch my drift. But yeah, the Bills being 8-3 didn't hurt the situation.

My wife knows more about cars than I do. Mostly growing up with a dad who's obsessed with cars. I don't see any shame in it, honestly. I know how to jump a battery, change a tire, check my oil. That's about it. Her and her dad went to see Ford vs. Ferrarri. I went to see Rambo at the dollar theater next door. They both told me I'd be bored out of my mind for 90% of it. Weird thing is, I'm not that into video games but I love car racing games. But don't care much for the ones that you have to build your own car. I just want to race.

My first date with my wife I asked her if she liked ZZ Top. Her reply was "I love their early stuff. Tres Hombres is their best album. But anything after eliminator was just to weird and synthisized for my liking." It took everything inside of me to not propose right then and there.

We don't care about your stupid f*cking car Gug! Did you get her number? Or at least pics? Would ya? Would @The Poojer?

Little Known Fact: Jesus Just Left Chicago was about a gospel station that also threw in some old blues and country out of Chicago that the band grew up listening to. On a clear night it could be picked up all the way in Houston. Heard it on the X is about the same station.

What makes you assume i was talking about FA RT. I was talking about Wide Receiver and Running Back. RB could also mean Ruben Brown which could get very confusing as he was an offensive guard, and has been retired for 12 years.

I thought that was a Chan Gailey quote? I mix up my boring, mediocre drought coaches though.

Sometimes we should just use the full words.

"Collect call from: 'Mom, can you come pick me up now? Everybody else is getting ready to go.' Do you accept the charges?"

Can't pick just one. Just saw them last week, but unfortunately it was huge package show with Brad Paisley, Sheryl Crow, Doobie Brothers and Joe Walsh, so then only played the hits. Waitin' For the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago. Blue Jeans Blues. Just got Paid. La Grange I Gotsta Get Paid which was their bluesy take on a popular rap song from the local Houston scene in the 90s. Their newest album from 2012 was produced by Ric Ruben and the best thing they've recorded since Degüello.

Riding in the bus down the boulevard And the place was pretty packed (yeah!) Couldn't find a seat so I had to stand With the perverts in the back It was smelling like a locker room There was junk all over the floor We're already packed in like sardines But we're stopping to pick up more, look out Another one rides the bus Another one rides the bus Another comes on and another comes on Another one rides the bus Hey, he's gonna sit by you Another one rides the bus

If you wanna get to heaven gotta D-I-E You gotta put on your coat and T-I-E Wanna get the rabbit out of the L-O-G You gotta make a cold motion like a D-O-G Like a D-O-G Like a D-O-G

Alright, now dig this, babyYou don't care for me, I don't a-care about thatGot a new fool, ha, I'd like to laugh atI have only one burning desire,Let me stand next to your fire

Read a cool fact about Billy Joel though. He no longer sells tickets in the first few rows. He got sick of rich snobs who only know a few songs just boringly staring at him. So he sends his crew into the nosebleeds and surprises random fans with free upgrades.

Whenever I'm with him Something inside Starts to burning And Im filled with desire Could it be the devil in me? Or is this the way loves supposed to be? Its like a heat wave Its burning in my heart I can't keep form burning Its tearing me apart
