One song. One song is all we have that takes a shot at our commander-in-chief. It's just an opinion folks. Most of our lyrics are driven by lost love and the feelings associated with the topic. But c'mon. It's W. He'd appreciate my opinion. Lord knows he doesn't hold his back. Take care out there. -K Mice and Rifles here…

I thought The Robison Brothers, The Flatlanders, and Drew Kennedy were the highlight of the festival and that <em>almost</em> everyone else was still better than EYB. I’ll agree to disagree, Karie.

I wanted to catch the Randy Rogers Band right after them and stuck around for a few hours to do so, but I couldn’t take any more of EYB and had to take off. I don't think we stayed for a whole song at Big State, either. I caught the Eli Young Band for the first time at the Gruene With Envy awards.
