3 Chords and the Truth: So tired . . . muddling along Ladies and gentlemen . . . The Beatles.
With the theme song for this week's edition of 3 Chords & the Truth.
Which I was too tired to work into this week's edition of the Big Show.
So here it is:
I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No,no,no.
I'm so tired I don't know what to do
I'm so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do

3 Chords and the Truth: Music for the end of our witsIn a democracy, we generally get the government we deserve.
Now look at what's going on in Washington, D.C., right now and be afraid. Be very afraid.
As Congress lurches toward Debtpocalyse and we lurch toward the poorhouse, we find the American empire lurching toward an end. And as I reflect on these years of doing 3 Chords & the Truth, it occurred to me that the Big Show is what historians call "primary source material."

Yes, we're pretty much screwed, and we're sitting here in the studio waiting on Debtpocalypse Now.

I think on 3 Chords & the Truth this week, we'll take it too dang easy. Well, not too dang easy. I mean . . . you know.
It's just that it's summer, and that means it's time to kick back some. Enjoy life. Take things at a more leisurely pace.

I don't know about you, but I'm going to my happy place on this episode of the Big Show. Musically, my happy place, oddly enough, is my elementary and junior high years.
Oddly, because elementary school and junior high were adolescent hell for me. Hated elementary school. Hated junior high. Hated what was a difficult existence at home.
Hated it, hated it, hated it. It's my happy place. This week on 3 Chords & the Truth, it's all about the happy place. Wit ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
3 Chords and the Truth: A July 4th blowoutHi. Mrs. Favog here.
I'm posting this week's episode of 3 Chords & the Truth because my husband is a bit indisposed right now. Don't worry, it's nothing too serious.
The doctors say he should be fine once he gets out of the ICU. Just so long as we don't startle him.
ANYWAY, last I heard, the show was going along swimmingly. And Favog was so proud of how this special July Fourth episode was coming. There was some rock, a good bit of jazz and some really cool alt and New Wave stuff.

The broken hearts have stood as the price we had to pay.
All we wanted was to keep pushin' till it was understood, and these badlands started treating us good.
Sometimes, it worked out. Other times, not. But always, The Boss and The Big Man were there to cheer us on.
