- What's up with the crappy English accent that Dwight Yoakam adopts on the spoken intro to "She'll Remember"? (Hear an NPR review with samples - but not of the accent.) It's Dick Van Dyke-ish.
- And what was behind Dwight's acrimonious split from longtime producer Pete Anderson?
- Worst song title in Country Music History? "Riding My Thumb To Mexico" from 1973 (Johnny Rodriguez).
- My least favorite song in rotation on KHYI? "Mr. Wolf And Mamabear" by Robert Earl Keen. If I want to hear an unrelenting litany of animals set to music, I'll choose "The Unicorn Song", thank you very much.
- Best Americana couplet of recent years? In "Down The Road Tonight" (scroll down) by Hayes Carll where he sings, "My Grandmother's name was Spiller. Michael Jackson peaked at Thriller." (And check out his unique version of "I've Been Everywhere".)
Did someone say "inflatable marmalade anguish pipe"? Well, guess what I've got inside my brain!
