Lots of the time, it's coffee. Coffee made with love, patience and an old, old pot -- because it's better that way. OTHER TIMES, it's the blues. This week on 3 Chords & the Truth, however, we're putting together the blues with a little black coffee and seeing where it gets us. No doubt, somewhere that's all right . . . is all right. Of course, there's lots of other tasty stuff on the Big Show this go aroun ...

Well, hang on. Let me quote the Four Seasons here: Oh, what a night! Late December back in '63, What a very special time for me, As I remember what a night, Oh what a night! You know, I didn't even know her name. . . . WELL . . . all right, then. Enough of that. How about that 3 Chords & the Truth, eh? Good stuff, am I right? We present only the finest in musical entertainment on the Big Show. YEP, a chunk of this we ...

Now, wait a minute. With apologies to Willie Nelson, you can't get on the road again if you've never gotten off. And that's the story of life -- you're on a long, long road and you never get off. At least until . . . well. WE'RE ALWAYS on the road to something or down the road from something. Life is a journey, and we live it on the road. This week on 3 Chords & the Truth, we'll celebrate that little fact with a gr ...

I've been drinking so much hot tea -- with the requisite amount of fresh mint -- that my kidneys bought one of those inflatable giraffe life-ring thingies kids use in the swimming pool. All I need to accessorize my toasty flannel robe is three days without a shave and an empty six-pack of Schlitz. I'VE GOT SOME SORT of low-grade crud, my sinuses hurt, and I'm thinking that -- if I'm really lucky -- people will someday pray for m ...

Who cares how much under the norm? We've got the Big Show to keep us warm. I can't remember a worse October. Just watch that low pressure form! What do I care if low pressure forms? 3 Chords & the Truth will keep me warm. Off with my overcoat, off with my glove! I need no overcoat, it's music we love! The iPod's on fire, the flame grows higher! So I will weather the storm! What do I care how much it ...

Of course, when your talking Louisiana, that can have, er . . . interesting ramifications. Really, when did you ever think miscegenation would be a legal issue again? Can you say "biracial president"? AND I THINK we at 3 Chords & the Truth now can answer -- musically and with full confidence -- the burning question "Will Louisiana ever stop shooting itself in the foot . . . and other interesting places?" The answer is "no." But anyway, ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website 3 Chords and the Truth: Let it snow! Welcome to October 10 on the Great Plains. Now that the produce is in and the wheelbarrow has gone fallow under an autumnal coating of snow, it's a good time to grab a hot cup of something, prop up your feet and enjoy another episode of 3 Chords & the Truth. After all, that's what winter's for. Even when it comes in the middle of fall. TODAY'S EPISODE of the Big Show is a good 'un . . . and decidedly New Wavish. What can I say? Sometimes I get in moods. But this mood has led to some fin ...

Now, the Big Show this week is a mighty fine offering, as always. It features a fun, diverse music mix, and you just might learn something, too. HERE'S just a sampling of what you can expect to hear: * The Subdudes * Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass * Tony Bennett * Ella Fitzgerald * Frank Sinatra * Chicago Transit Authority (Du ...

And we've got a folk-flavored episode this week of 3 Chords & the Truth. The music world lost Mary Travers this week, and this sad passing seems an appropriate occasion to salute Peter, Paul and Mary -- and to shine the spotlight on the rich world of folk music. So that's what we're doing on the Big Show this week . . . exploring the breadth and the beauty of the genre, with a focus on a group that put ...

And, sometimes, you just have to stop and wonder "Who am I?" Last spring's Baton Rouge High senior video (above) was something I stumbled upon this week. And it ended with something that hit home: Remember, this is who we were. Who will we become? THIRTY YEARS of memories came flooding back. Thirty years ago, I was where last semester's seniors were. And the same questions were on our minds, too. Thirty ye ...

I had to ask. (Visualize a sleeping dog in the 3 Chords & the Truth studio.) THIS IS Scout reconsidering the matter when I asked him again, in my "Do you ever want to eat again?" tone of voice, what he thought of this week's stellar episode of 3 Chords & the Truth. (Picture a groggy, yet pensive, dog lying under the mixing desk in the 3 Chords & the Truth studio.) SCO ...

That's a little media-production lingo, there. Anyway, the thing is done. Finished. Posted to the Internets. And I have just one thing to say to you. FUNK YOU, PAL! That ought to give you a clue about this week's episode of the Big Show. Hey! I'm jazzed. (Another clue.) It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.

He drove the coolest VW microbus, he wore the coolest beads, and he had the coolest bell bottoms adorned with the coolest peace-and-love patches. Uncle Favog protested the war, expanded his mind and got all the groovy chicks. And he played groovy music all night on Radio Free Omaha . . . master of his own fate (at least so long as he didn't cause The Man to come down on the station, bourgeois capitalist convention bein ...

Nothing to see -- or hear -- here. If you're looking for a show that will help you look upon the wreckage of a prominent life as a means of feeling better about your own, this week's 3 Chords & the Truth is not your cup of tea. YES, Michael Jackson is dead. Yes, there's a media ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website 3 Chords and the Truth: Ride, Captain, ride! I think this just might sum up this week's episode of 3 Chords & the Truth quite nicely: Ride, Captain, ride upon your mystery ship, Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip, Ride, Captain, ride upon your mystery ship, On your way to a world that others might have missed. . . . THAT, AT ITS HEART, is what the Big Show is all about. 3 Chords & the Truth is a mystery ship on a mystery trip -- a musical voyage of discovery on the sea of life. It's not neat, and it doesn't fit i ...

C'mon, I reference freakin' Hee-Haw, for pity's sake! I even assume people will remember the show . . . and Junior Samples' hilarious bits selling used cars. That number again: BR-549. And then on 3 Chords & the Truth, we go on to play stuff by the band that took its name from Samples' Hee-Haw bits -- BR5-49. IT'S NOT flippin' brain surgery. I am an idiot. I have outed myself as a gol-darned redneck. I had relatives who ...

Well, not all of us are over-the-top tormented like Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett (God rest his soul) was three-plus decades ago when the Band released Barrett-inspired songs like "Brain Damage" -- featured this week on 3 Chords & the Truth -- and "Shine on You Crazy Diamond," et al. But we all are at least a little bit "eccentric," aren't we? I mean, how boring would life be if we weren't? Take my wife, for example. . . . You wouldn't believe h ...

There's a good reason for that -- it's summer (at least unofficially), and we're ready to bust out and celebrate summertime, summertime sum-sum-summertime. So, given all that, this episode of the Big Show might be a good one to load onto the iPod and take to the pool. Or maybe you could plug it into a boom box and kick it "old school" at the campsite or at a picnic. ALL YOUR NEIGHBORS will want to know what the cool show is on the radio ...

Tasty. And once that door is open to all kinds of musical goodness, lots of amazing stuff comes storming (or should we say dancing?) through. Like Vienna Teng, who some years back found a higher calling than software (though if she'd like to help me with my @#%&!*$+! computers, I'd be ...

Broken dreams and the "losers" who once dreamed, but no more. People like, for example, Fantine in "Les Miserables." She had a dream; it turned into a living hell: "But the tigers come at night, With their voices soft as thunder, As they tear your hope apart, And they turn your dream to shame." IT HAPPENS. A lot. And we declare people "losers" a lot, too. We take one quick look and throw them onto the refuse heap of life. A lot of t ...
