Read before you Watch!

I apologize that I’m not really writing anything important or telling you what’s up with my life. Truthfully, it’s a bit unpleasant at the moment. I’m getting sicker rather than better among other things. So in the interest of a nice little diversion, here are two fabulous video offerings for you. These are musical performances by a crazy and politically left-minded sorta bluegrass (sorta not) group called the Asylum Street Spankers, a band that I anxiously wanted to see when they performed here last year (only a few blocks from my house, no less), but wasn’t able to. Bummer. Now I really know what I missed! These videos are not for the easily offended or people who are outraged by others making fun of things that really aren’t funny at all. I believe it is human nature to turn unbearable situations into humor as a survival tactic, and I really appreciate it when artists come along who are as good at it as these folks are. Without further ado, have a look!

A word to parents: the video contains bad words, or words that sound like bad words. Keep the 5 year-olds away while you watch! Unless you want them prancing around the house for the next 2 weeks gleefully shouting “Asshole!” at the top of their lungs. Oops. Sorry.

Enjoy with my blessings and good cheer.
