Was last in Austin in 2003 and the Hype Machines were cranked to 11 shilling the Iraq invasion. Sat on a high stool in Schlotsky’s Deli on the main drag that leads up to Capitol Hill and used their free computers to email “my attorney” about the insanity that was unfurling before my eyes. Every third vehicle, I kid you not, was sporting a HUGE Am. flag, most on poles protruding out and up from the rear passenger windows. Much honking, yeee-hawing and thumbs-upping and this was just a week-a-day lunchtime.<BR/><BR/>For once I kept my usually loud mouth shut having mercifully read the mood from a thousand and one Western movies of my youth. Anyway, if the mob at LP don’t respond (got here from their open Sat thread) I’m sure the pol. junkies at Poll Bludger blogspot’s Sep threads would be most appreciative of your thoughts and observations.<BR/><BR/>Btw, legendary bluesman and original member of Muddy’s band, Pinetop Perkins, is at Antone’s on Thursday nite if you like that sort of music. He’s into his nineties now but to witness the respect given to him from his fellow musos and the crowd would be more than worth the price of admission. It’s a great joint when it’s cookin’. <BR/>Good luck, and if you’re flying out of Austin, make sure you’re clean shaven or you could cop a full body search.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
