In 2009, Toby Keith wrote a beautiful song in memory of his friend Wayman Tisdale when Wayman died of cancer: "Cryin' For Me" The lyrics are more relevant now than ever.

Trivia: the song "Send In The Clowns" was written specifically for her. Here is her version.

Don't know much about Lloyd except that he's super talented and he's one of those session guys who have a knack for making a record sound better than it should have been. (He's playing the steel guitar parts on the above tracks, btw.) I've heard rumors that he was a bit of a Svengali to the...

The Dixie Chicks spent 6+ years toiling on the outskirts of the country music world in their formative days (1989-95), releasing 3 well-crafted indie albums featuring a musical style that emphasized bluegrass and old-time western swing at its core. They developed a regional following, but the...

Lately my x/Twitter page is cluttered with posts that tend to fall under these two themes: 1. "Faces Of Death"-esque videos (car crashes, shootings, etc.) 2. people who post variations on Elon exposed the media elite and now they are going to pay the price!!!!! These posts are often...

Not my kid, but my niece (and her team) won the state championship in high school soccer yesterday. A bunch of hard-working, undercoached girls from a small school who defeated a perennial powerhouse and totally shut out the top goal-scorer in the entire state. At the start of the season, I...

It's a somewhat apocryphal story. There's no way that Inman would have invoked the name of Clyde Drexler in that context, as he was projected to be a backup in 1984-85, behind Jim Paxson (who was 2nd-Team All-NBA in 1983-84). But saying "Clyde Drexler" makes for a better story than saying "Jim...

Seems like a loophole that needs to be closed. How many times have we seen a late hit on the QB on 4th down that extends the drive? I guess the defenders should have just waited until the ball hit the ground to rough up the passer.

Gary Wright Dream Weaver Love Is Alive He was also a founding member of Spooky Tooth and also did lots of session work, including Harry Nilsson's Without You, Ringo's It Don't Come Easy and most of George Harrison's '70s albums.

Some semi-notable recent deaths from the music industry... Ray Hildebrand, better known as "Paul" from the early '60s duo Paul & Paula, who had a #1 hit in 1962 with "Hey Paula" (I can't hear that song without thinking of this joke from "Cheers") Bob Feldman, musician and songwriter probably...

Meisner had some mental and physical issues which made him a liability for a full-scale Eagles reunion. Apparently there was talk of bringing him back for a guest spot during the 2013 tour (as they did with Bernie Leadon), but he was too ill for it to work. Anyway, here are a few of Randy's...

What evidence? Testimony <> evidence.

So does this mean that my old X.com checking account is going to be reactivated?

If you're just doing 11 computers, then you can use a cloning program such as Clonezilla (open source) or Macrium Reflect (requires license). After you create the master computer, you pop out the drive and put it into an external enclosure that is attached to your computer, then you use the...

A former coworker used to work for Luis Palau. I remember the guy telling me "He's just like Billy Graham, but Hispanic." And it took every fiber in my being to keep from saying, "Oh, so does he have a son who is a fraud, too?"
