Big Whiskey Sam

...you know it's me when I come through your town.

About Me

I've been just about everywhere there there is to be in America (walked the deserts bare, breathed the mountain air, made that left turn at Albuquerque and all that neat shit). Still got lots of places to go, things to see, people to do.

Play Games at AddictingGames

My Interests

I give a damn about two things: music & money. Very little else. Music because it's all I'm good at; money because I never seem to have any. I'm also pretty big on the "support your local rock band" concept. Check out the bands I've listed. Some are signed, most are not. Some are on MySpace. All kick ass, all bust their asses, and all are worth a listen.

I'd like to meet:

My Blog

"Hope." "Change." "Unity." Repeat.

I've often preceded a regurgitation of the news of the day with phrases like "for those of you who have been living in a cave" or "for those of you who have no contact with the outside world." Well, t...

Why The Music Will Not Be Missed

Yesterday, I learned that Strangeland Records will be closing its doors forever. For those of you who don't already know, SLR is a music store in Annandale VA, a stone's-throw away from DC, specializi...

Live Earth: Even Worse than the Baltimore Death Fest

The neatest thing about my current abode is that it is conveniently, almost strategically, located within easy walking distance of more than half a dozen bars, pubs and dramhouses. One in particular h...

In all Fairness, this Doctrine Sucks

You may or may not like Rush Limbaugh. Frankly, I don't care ( I find him reasonably entertaining, but for my noon-to-three listening, I'm partial to The Wilkow Majority,, on Sirius). It's irrelevant....

What the Hell Happened to White People? (Part Two)

I suppose it was inevitable. It only makes sense that sooner or later, the wrist-gnawing madness that defines all things race related in this country would produce idiocy of the level reached this wee...
