don't golf

I've been listenin' to Todd Snider for ten years now. He's the dude that did "My Generation (Part 2)". I've gone to his shows, most recently at South by Southwest. He's one of those long-haired alt-country slash hippy dudes who somehow manages to attract an audience of frat boys from the local college who don't quite get it that he's makin' fun of them.  He's not doin' it to be mean, he's just doin' it.  I hope I didn't just blow his gig by sayin' that cuz Todd's an alright dude.  I'm talkin' like him right now.

So anyway, Todd's got this new disc comin' out in August, but he has a few tracks up on his MySpace.  If I was you and I knew what was up, I'd go check 'em out.  Particularly "You Got Away With It (A Tale of Two Fraternity Brothers)".  I don't want to spoil the joke, but like Yogi Berra says, "If you see a fork in the road......take it."

Peace.
