Holy Smokes! Naked cannibalsand corruption in government, wolves in sheep's clothing-- and child pornography is now the newest biggest addiction.
Better move to Flyover Country and get a little piece of earth. Here are two videos to cleanse the mental palate:
The first is moderate wind on the Kansas farm. Without headphones or loud stereo speakers, how did the prairie women manage?
The second video is calmer and the Birds came out to sing! Loud!

These roses were planted by the owner of the house over a half century ago...
Like Blues? (serious guitar) BarbeQue, the Kansa wind, and good company? You shoulda been at Cox Brothers BBQ in Junction City last night for the Steve Fansler Band--
steve fansler on guitar
There was a a fundraiser for kids with autism. Every dang time i turn around those two Cox Brothers are helping someone with a fundraiser...
I usually go to Coco Bolos (also from the two Cox boys) for good food and service,
but when the need for Barbecue hits, Cox Brothers is the way to go. Good enough to make a preacher cuss...
Although last night i was sitting outside and two of the videos below have low quality sound, you can get the jist of the great music. "Superstition" is a little better, i moved inside.
A couple of wild kids among a group of motorcycle enthusiasts had just gotten married and joined the crowd.
Kelsey and Johnny were lovers...
One thing about the Cox Brothers is, you will find their food at many worthy events. They add to the community in a lot of ways. (good dogs)--
The band was supertight, very loose, happy talented and entertaining.
Give me some more of everything, please.
The Tallgrass Girl was there! in the Kansa wind.
Holy Smokes how did i land this fine fish?
so you can hear more from the band here: http://www.myspace.com/stevefansler

OK, here are the videos i grabbed---

Here is "superstition" full length. the other videos may be shorter than this one...
Hummingbirds, woodchucks, butterflies, wrens, a blue finch, raptors, cats, dogs, crows, the vulture.
the wind.
hollyhocks. black capped chickadees.

We continually wake up to who we are. day by day year by year.
Wow, wonder what it was like to slowly become conscious that you were part Elvis Presley, the king. To have lived enough to see the complexity of the weave of Elvis into our culture, your culture, your father--
American Idol showcased Lisa marie last night and i dug it
Yo, Dude, I totally dug. it.
Perhaps she's been like this for a while, but it was fabulous for me to watch. I break out the electronic contraption to write, "find it!"
She brought elvis with her, she showed her blood and genes
and more.
Her band was perfect; the guitar players were delectable. aura/wardrobe perfection. Story and pictures click HERE
[insert superlative words here]
what a thing --
Joshua ledet was just let go from american idol. holy toledo.
ii wish i could have heard him sing otis' dock of thebay and elton's tinydancer.
But-- the ultimate is the king singing New Orleans and King Creole from the 1958 movie King Creole
Lrics: King Creole:
Performed by Elvis Presley
King Creole
(words & music by Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock and roll
He's a guitar man with a great big soul
And he lays down a beat like a ton of coal
He goes by the name of King Creole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
And hip shaking King Creole
When the King starts to do it it's as good as done
He holds his guitar like a tommy gun
He starts to growl from way down in his throat
He bends a string and that's all she wrote
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
And hip shaking King Creole
He sings a song about a crawdad hole
He sings a song about a jelly roll
He sings a song about pork and greens
He sings some blues about New Orleans
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
And hip shaking King Creole
He plays something evil then he plays something sweet
No matter how he plays you got to get up on your feet
And when he gets the rockin' fever baby, heaven sakes
He don't stop playin' 'til his guitar breaks
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
And hip shaking King Creole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip shaking King Creole Ultimate sultry bluesey southern love Lyrics: New Orleans
You'll never know
What heaven means
Until you've been down to New Orleans
You ain't been livin' till you cuddle and coo
With some black-eyed baby by de old bayou
You've never seen
You've never seen those Cupid doll queens
Like they got 'em in New Orleans
And, ooh, they love you like no-one can
