Cindy, I always feel compelled to disclaimer my dad because, well, it's just easier that way.
sara, have you used flickr?

Cash, we had that tape!! My Dad, bless his soul, loved Conway Twitty (and the Grateful Dead).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Johnny Cash, I love. Willie Nelson, I adore. Loretta on her own, you bet. Conway AND Loretta. NSM.
Dad is a huge bluegrass fan, too.

Nope. I may look into it. My main frustration is that I have a dialup. And 57 pictures, which I want to upload in their original size since it is so family can have photos printed. HUGE. I may beg my officemate to use his work pc, since there we have a fast connection. I'd use my machine, but....can't. Not without IT's help, and I'd just assume not advertise I'm not working, you know?

Cash, you and my mom could take car trips together....

I think the hippest my mom ever got was liking the Beach Boys. I don't think she ever realized or cared that liking the Beach Boys was less hip by the time I was growing up.
My dad used to like a lot of good rock. I got a lot of my classic rock albums from him when he cast them off. These days he's mostly a jazz man (and has been for quite a while).
ita's characterization of Michigan drivers as fast, impatient, but obedient of every traffic law except the speed limit is right on the money. Made me a little nostalgic, in fact.

Okay, see -- my mother just found out (YESTERDAY) that the Beatles may have done drugs (she wonders why it's not made a big deal of), and although she has heard of Rick James (unlike my father), she didn't know he was black
For ita's mom:
Yesterday / All my illusions just got blown away / Now I'm sadder than I was Monday / Why'd you have to say / That Paul really loves to smoke a jay?

I'm also a little amused that not only did ita's mom miss the fact that the Beatles did drugs, but she also missed the fact that something of a big deal was made out of it, back in the day.

You're the reason I'm driving around on recapped tires

Or the part where Conway tells Loretta "I wish you'd get outta that housecoat afore supper!"

Heh. I love Classic country. Coal Miner's Daughter could have been about my mother except for the part where she could sing and got rich and famous. In fact, both my parents grew up a few miles away from where Loretta Lynne grew up. Or should I say a few hollars over.
