Admirable folks

I already told y'all how much I like Kid Rock. Especially as a person behind the persona. So, to start to get on with what I've got to say here, I won't cover that ground again. But I will give a quick recap: I think he's a decent dude. Now I will tell you this:

I'm a big fan of Toby Keith. He's another one I think is really genuine. I just watched him with the troops in Iraq. All I can say is people like him are the real deal. I think he grew up with an army dad, but I picked that up out of a song and might be wrong.

Sometime today I'll take a picture of this gold and diamond bracelet the wife bought me for a dual birthday & anniversary present. I'll post it right after. It's really pimpin'.

Back to music personalities (I recorded the CMA Awards and just watched it this morning) that caught my eye today. How about that Gretchen....Gretchen....Oh good grief, I forgot her last name. Is it Gretchen Wilson? Anyway, she's the one that sang Redneck Woman and Here For The Party. OK, if that girl ain't authentic country then, as David Allan Coe would say, I'll kiss your ass.

First she was genuinely surprised each time her name was called. And if you checked out the grand ladies of Nashvile...Reba, Lee Ann Womack, Faith Hill, etc. (and I did), you saw a lot of designer gowns and jewelry. Before I go on, I LOVED Gretchen. Now, with that said, I'll say again, she's real country because there she was in her tight jeans and tank top with her bra straps showing. And those big old, straight out of the trailer park, hoop earrings. God, bless her. They say sing about what you know and it appears that's just what she does.

I'm at a TV tray in the living room and it's making my arms ache trying to type, so this won't be much longer. Anyway, it's 8 AM Sunday morning, so of course, SNL is just coming on. Tonight Linsday Lohan is hosting, so the morning is looking up suddenly. I like the show pretty good. And I, like tens of billions of others, love the Weekend Update each week.

Travelin' Ed's SNL skit re-enactment:
Lindsay Lohan to Lindsay Lohan from the future: Wait...are we doing porn??
Future Lindsay: No, we're introducing porn. It's totally different.
