The Lonely Goatherd Blog And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats - Matthew 25:32
Up to the minute notes on the current state of free thinking and free living: Kentucky moonshine - original analysis and reporting from MoreThings, and all round pop culture museum of sight and sound - photo galleries, mp3 and video downloads.
Al Barger and MoreThings - getting people's goats since 1998.
Live free or die!

I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.

To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

By way of new recordings, Genius and Friends is one of the last things he was working on before he passed, based on some original 1998 recordings. It's a follow-up set of duets to last year's big hit. Rand help me, but I'm right real interested in hearing Ray and George Michael sing "Blame It On the Sun."
File under: "If you hate me, you'll make me listen to this": Barbara Streisand puts out Guilty Pleasures, a quarter century later follow-up to her collaboration on Guilty with Barry Gibb. In fairness, that was one of her biggest albums, and this new one is already #5 on Amazon. I for one can hardly wait to hear a BS peace anthem called "All The Children." Oy vey.
Earth, Wind & Fire's new Illumination album features input from the Black Eyed Peas among others.
Night Train to Nashville, Vol. 2 on Lost Highway is the follow up to last year's Grammy winning collection of Nashville r&b from 1945 to 1970. It features among others Arthur Alexander, Clyde McPhatter, the Imperials and Esther Phillips.
Not to put too fine a point on it, Jon Bon Jovi ain't my cup of tea, what with me liking good music. Still, his new Have a Nice Day album has a nicely evil cover.
