Hilarious Quote

by

I was watching the TV show “Metal Evolution” (now I am going to have to watch all the shows online, too) when I heard a quote so funny I almost had tears running down my face.  They had an interview with Gary Holt of Exodus and he said (on the topic of his band “selling out” to the record company)

If I had to do it all over again I’d just keep writing songs about killing people

Earl Scruggs, R.I.P.

Instapundit linked to Remembering Earl Scruggs. I forwarded it to a friend who is a huge Scruggs fan and she returned the links she’s been listening to today. Thought I’d share: A handsome young Earl Scruggs. The elderly Scruggs picking with the brilliant Bela Fleck on the classic “Salty Dog”. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Earl Scruggs is featured at 1:37. Finally, 7-year old Ricky backed by Scruggs and Flatt.
