    What song at your funeral?

    My definition of art is "something that makes you feel". This song made me feel. My son and I would sing this when I was driving him to school every morning. Joke or not, mission accomplished.

    Accidental Band Names- what did YOU hear today?

    While taking stock of the fridge for holiday cooking, my wife was sorting through a couple packs of stuff on the bottom shelf. When I inquired about expiration dates, she replied We're good, it's all.... November Sausage
