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

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.
Links
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.

New CD Album Releases, 9-16-2008: Nelly, Lindsey Buckingham, George Clinton Brass Knuckles is the first album from Cornell "Nelly" Haynes since the 2004 Sweat and Suit simultaneous releases. He's chock full o' guests here, including Akon, Usher, Pharrell, Chuck D, Snoop Dogg, Jermaine Dupri and Ashanti. For someone who was the powerhouse just a couple albums back, this album is only #93 at Amazon.
Gift of Screws is the fifth solo album from Fleetwood Mac mainstay Lindsey Buckingham. This has more of the full-blown studio experimentation and thick sound he's known for compared to the more acoustic oriented previous album. It might also sound a little Fleetwoody in that it features contributions from John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. Note that the first song on the album - "Great Day" - is available for free download from Amazon.
George Clinton and His Gangsters of Love is an all-star album mostly featuring covers of classic r&b love songs. Two tracks are credited to El Debarge, the rest to George Clinton and His Gangsters of Love. Said gangsters include among others Sly Stone, Santana, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
