I vote for Sam Riggs!!!!!
Sorry about the mix-up with the Sam Riggs song. The audio I uploaded was actually “Honky Tonk Angel” and not “Hairpin Trigger Heart”. Since the audio is the same we’re going to keep the votes that we’ve gotten in so far. Thanks again and keep voting! :-)
~DD~
I love Hairpin Trigger Heart!,!
Sam who? Lost Immigrants all the way!
Lost Immigrants really grab me on this one. Honky Tonk Angel is just a bit too polished and plastic for me, plus the theme is exhausted. I really like the theme of the Lost Immigrants tune, which is actually called “Santa Muerte”, Muerta is a typo.
Santa Muerte is a sacred figure recognized primarily in Mexico and the United States
The name literally translates to “Holy Death” or “Saint Death.” Santa Muerte generally appears as a skeletal figure, clad in a long robe and carrying one or more objects, usually a scythe and a globe. When the Lost Immigrants sing “When Santa Muerte comes along, we won’t fall” it’s quite poetic. When the the keeper of death come’s along during a battle against odds, we won’t be defeated, we won’t die. I like that. I like that a lot.
“When Santa Muerte comes to call, we won’t fall” that is! Damnit! X)
Hmmm…
Your mom is exhausted, Sonny, after dancing her little ass of to Honky Tonk Angel.
Regards,
Someone who can appreciate both artists.
I like them Both! Good stuff boys! Matt Kimbrow Band
I think that each of these songs has become my own personal Jesus H. Christ for the day. Honky Tonk Angel of Death is more like it, for the spell cast upon my soul. Santa Muerta indeed, vaya con dios and all that jazz and the face of death had many faces and I them all. What I’m trying to say is check out Herbie Hancock and then commit suicide. Then check out Neil Young and proclaim yourself a profit. The sun rises in the east because the west needs to run. If I hear anymore dirty buttholes I will kill everyone.
Best. Post. Ever.
Haha I love this post. Preach about it! BAM!
Sam Riggs Band makes me want to get up and DANCE!!!!! Killer Song!
Santa Muerta makes me want to sit down and listen!!!
Sam Riggs for sure!!
How quickly we foergt what we didn’t have back in the day equal rights! Ware’s book reminds us of how hard Billie Jean King and other feminists fought to bring the social consciousness into the reality of female discrimination.My generation the 50s girls were called tomboys if we liked sports. We didn’t have the opportunities that girls and women of the Title IX generation do. They take for granted that competing in sports is something that you do because you want to.There may have been worse forms of prejudice (socially) in the U.S., but there is no sharper example of inequity than that which operated against girls and women who took part or wished to take part in competitive sports. School administrators were not necessarily opposed to women’s sports as long as they could do it without cutting into programs for men. Normally those in charge of making these decisions were men.In 1973, Billie Jean King was the right feminist in the right sport at the right moment in American history. Her match against Bobby Riggs cemented her stature as America’s first female sports superstar. She proved that women did not choke, were not frail and weak, and could face pressure and take it. In a single tennis match, Billie Jean was able to do more for the cause of women than most feminists can achieve in a lifetime. To this day, strangers, especially women, still approach Billie Jean to tell her that the match changed their lives. She moved beyond just tennis to become a symbol for something even bigger: women’s rights and women’s changing role in society.Billie Jean appears in every chapter of Ware’s book, but sometimes only in a supporting role it shows where her story and that of Title IX converge working toward eradicating all forms of discrimination in careers, personal lifestyles, and athletics. She wanted little girls to dare to dream of equal-opportunity and offered her career as a model and an inspiration. In 1990 Life magazine named her one of the hundred most influential people of the twentieth century.Now the dilemma of modern feminism is how to recognize and embrace difference while also seeking formal equality. One of the major tenets is freedom of choice women should be free to pursue any life courses they choose unencumbered by stereotypes or traditional gender expectations in sports or any other areas. There is a tendency now to dismiss feminism as a relic of the past, to talk about the amazing opportunities girls have these days, to act as if the revolution is over and the mission accomplished. Well, it isn’t.Ware’s view of history should be read by women of all ages those who lived through it and survived as well as (perhaps especially) the younger ones who benefited by it.by Doris Anne Roop-Bennerfor Story Circle Book Reviewsreviewing books by, for, and about women

“The GOP did about nothing to get out the vote this week. Believe me. I know. My phone never rang. My maiolbx was empty. I got a few e-mails but, as GOTV goes, there was nothing. Even talk radio was largely focused on the Democrats.”Anecdotal evidence on your part, Professor.Walker and his allies spent over $10 million saturating the airwaves leading up to the primaries, and local county Republican Party operatives were diligently handing out fliers, making phone calls, and sending emails. Just because YOU did not receive a full court press does equate to (R)’s “doing nothing”.”Elections in which only one party has an actual contested primary (and, no, Arthur Kohl-Riggs does not count).”Why doesn’t he count? It seems you are inferring that the “fake Democrats” were more credible than him. What a joke?The results were not even close in the six (D) primaries, hardly a “contest”. ALL of the candidates, including Kohl-Riggs, made a mockery out of our election process with their “real” motivation to become a candidate for a party they truly have no interest in serving.Kohl-Riggs garnered 18,000 votes, about 3% in the Republican primary. While he obviously got slaughtered, he was a contestant. And he actually participated in the primary.Indeed, don’t get smug.
Sam Riggs for sure
voted for sam!
Immigrants !
