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.

New CD Album Releases, 1-19-2010: Gretchen Wilson, Michael Martin Murphey I'm seeing not a damned thing in this week's releases that looks like it'd be worth bothering with. The biggest name thing is a hits album from Gretchen Wilson, who had her first hit in 2004 - and the only thing I remember - with the cheesy "Redneck Woman." It does I suppose have the distinction of being the official anthem of white trailer trash nationwide. Good for her.
