They say, as we Midwesterners endure a summer of epic proportions, that the last step before you dry up, turn into cinders and blow away is you look like this -- "this" being House Speaker John Boehner.
Oh, crap.
Well, in that case, perhaps the theme of this week's edition of 3 Chords & the Truth should be "Just a Song Before I Go." At least it's a show on which I could be proud to check out . . . thank you, Timi Yuro!AND John Prine.
And Red Foley.
And Charley Pride.
And Patti Smith. (Didn't see that one coming, did you?)
And Timmy Thomas.
And OK, Go.
And Sam Beam, a.k.a., Iron & Wine.
And U2.
And Tonio K.
AND IF you'd like to hear future episodes of the Big Show, send water and cooler weather to Omaha, by God, Nebraska. I'm pretty sure my sun-dried, Boehner-burnt remains are gonna need to be rehydrated next week. Really cool music can do only so much, alas.
It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.
