Hadn't heard about that.

He's had more than one so I can see why you would stop paying attention at some point.

It happened just before he got hired to manage the White Sox.

Let's score some runs here.

I don't want to see Fry pitching three days in a row.  Especially the day before a bullpen game.

Well that was a gift.

Was trying think of another...

 

If truck songs qualify, listen to just about any track on Hot Licks, Cold Steel and Truckers Favorites, by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. (A lot of the same songs pop up on the Commander's later LPs as well.) In those days the Commander had pretty much an all-star band, including vocalist Billy C. Farlow, with backup vocals from John Tichy and the great Bill Kirchen.

The bar band that the Commander fronts now is (or was recently, I have no idea what's up with them), but the Commander was never much of a singer, though he's just fine on these sort-of-spoken stuff like Hot Rod Lincoln, which is a cover of a 1950's hit. What was odd about Hot Rod Lincoln is that most 50s songs about fast cars ended in tragedy, a tradition continued by Jan and Dean on Dead Man's Curve, a 1964 hit written by Brian Wilson and and Jan Berry. Two years later, Berry was severely injured and partially paralyzed in a car crash.

But then again, too few to mention.

Ah hell...way too many.

Dumb song too...

Take your time, Franco. First base will still be there for a long time, so no need to be in a hurry to reach it.

Sulser on for the save.

Hot Rod Lincoln? I disagree.

 

Funny pop fluff I'll grant, but it's a cool song.

Nah just felt the need to mention the song.

and I never pass up a chance to say how much I dislike Neil Diamond.

I think he was talking about My Way.
