Free Music from a guy named Steve Poltz
If you go to The Daytrotter site you'll be able to download some free music. I think it's me that you download. Yes it is! I'm playing some songs and singing. Check it oot.
On the last blog entry I wrote I said My Mom drove my wounded dog Bojo to the vet. I also said my Dad drove. How could they both drive you ask? Well let me splain it to you.
ahem ahem....
They both love driving so much that they always fight over who gets to drive the car. They're like a couple of 16 year olds who just got their drivers licenses. Meanwhile my dog was dying in the backseat on my blood stained Levis that I bought with my paper route money. So I screamed " you two knock it off! Dad! You drive first and then when we get to Ruth Hardy Park, pull over and let Mom drive down to Ramon rd past Palm Springs High School (go Indians!) to the vet on highway 111. You guys have to learn to share for Chrissakes!"
They both shook hands and agreed with me. This was back when Richard Nixon was President and there was a war. He was spying on his political rivals and I was spying on Megan Hanlon who lived down the road from us. She loved Bojo too so I knew I'd get a sympathy kiss. Me and Mokie and Megan would play football in the dirt lot behind Shakeys Pizza.
To this day my parents still fight over who gets to drive to Costco for jumbo packs of root beer. Sometimes when I come home for lasagna and cookies they let me drive their car to the movies while they sit in the backseat holding hands and pretending we're in the movie Driving Miss Daisy. Only it's Mr. and Mrs. Daisy.
So that's how they both ended up driving Bojo to the vet.
Thanks for reading this latest entry.
Just for sticking around you get a free car.
Love,
Oprah

:o) thanks, i needed that! xo
Okay...
For my free car, I want a 2010 Spyker C8 Aileron.
It's one of my cheaper favorite cars!

It's only costs about $209990, which is about much less than my other favorite cars which is the Maybach Exelero or the 1930 Duesenberg with body by Berline!
Oh my gosh, so many memories of Shakey's:
The early days, when they had banjo players and player pianos and silent movies on the wall;
Cutting 4th period to go to Bunch-A-Lunch and grubbin like there was no tomorrow;
Having friends who worked there and having free access to the beer taps (Bud and Lowenbrau!) after closing time;
And if ya didn't feel like pizza, the Del Taco was right next door.
Alas, the Shakey's Pizza in Santa Maria CA is long gone, but remains a part.........of California's Gold.
PS: I'll take a Nash Metropolitan.
Just listened to all the songs Daytrotter. All excellent with some fancy guitar playing, horns and voice. Great y are coming to SXSW (most fun music thing ever) + Houston. Daytrotter a very cool bunch of guys/gals doing this music thing in a sea of many other music sites.
