Ernest Tubb's birthday
Ernest Tubb was born in Texas 90 years ago today, on February 9, 1914.
He's long gone to that great honky tonk in the sky, but we'll always have his classic records. That deep bass voice, and classic definitive honky tonky country beat will last forever.
If you haven't got any Ernest, you might start to relieve your unfortunate deprivation by hopping on Kazaa and looking for:
Walking the Floor Over You
It's America (Love It Or Leave It)
Set Up Two Glasses, Joe
Too Old to Cut the Mustard
Thanks a Lot
Waltz Across Texas
This big honkin' BOX SET looks like a pretty outstanding bargain, though it is obviously not representing his whole career. It particularly does NOT include "Waltz Across Texas," perhaps his best song.

Frank Zappa and modern love songs
This amused me: Poking through my referrer logs, I find that the #1 result of a Google search for "modern love songs" turns out to be my Frank Zappa page.
This seems exactly backwards, as Frank was precisely the most vociferous OPPONENT of love songs in the history of modern pop. But then, not really. It's simply that the top result is a critic rather than a proponent. It'd be a bit like looking for George Bush and coming up with moveon.org as your first result.
