I’ve got something that’s been on my mind for a while now, maybe even a couple a years. It’s something that I’ve struggled with off and on whenever the subject comes up. I’ve wanted ask for help but I’ve just been too embarrassed. Sometimes I just don’t fit in and it’s because I just haven’t made up my mind about this one thing…Here it is...
If I ever DO give a shit about NASCAR, who is gonna be MY man?
I feel SO left out when 2 Bunn-ions are arguing about their drivers and I SO wanna get in there and discuss hemis, draftin’ and yeller flags with’m.
I almost wanna pull for Jeff Gorgon cuz everybody hates him, either him or Tony Stewart (I had to ask my wife what his name was..she knew it, and I almost fired her!) but Jeff drives Ford and I hate me a damn Ford and hell I can’t even stand Tony Stewart!!
So here’s what I’m looking for, dude has GOT to drive a Dodge! I am a DODGE… MAN! This much I know, and I don’t know who drives a damn Dodge so that’s why I’m strugglin’ with it.
I gotta know before the season starts up again next year cuz I’m REALLY gonna get into it and that’s the only thing been holdin’ me back!
I’m gonna get that dude’s number (whoever y’all pick for me) and put it in my truck window. I’m gonna get me some of his shirts! Damn! I can’t f*ckin’ wait!! I'm gonna be so damn cool!
So hurry up and tell me who my man is, I’m fiddin’ to LOOOOOOVE me some NASCAR!!

Top of the Hill
Believe it or not there is a nightclub in Bunn, well just a couple of miles down the road. It’s called Top of the Hill and I won’t set foot in there unless someone I know is crazy enough to play there. Well, Grace and I went Saturday night to see my friend Bill Lyerly and his band and the scene there is more bizarre than ever. I have been 2 other times, once to see Billy Joe Royal, who absolutely blew my mind. At 60 whatever, he was still singing like a bird and reminding me so much of Roy Orbison. The other time was to see my other friend, Tommy Redd, who… if you don’t know him…well, there’s just no way to describe him. I could blog every day for the rest of my life about him and keep you in stitches. Once, he grabbed Greg Allman’s hand and smelled his finger. Greg gave him a puzzled look and Tommy said, “I just wanted to see what Cher smelled like!” He’s just a damn nut! And he writes about a song a day and they are all crazy as hell.
Anyway, we were at the Top of the Hill club the other night and were soon reminded of why wanted to move back to Raleigh. This place is Hick City, y’all! All the dudes had severe mullets and all the chicks had belly's bigger than their tits…and they all thought they were HOT! When these girls refer to a "roll in the hay", they mean it literally! So in between Bill’s sets we tried to talk to him over the rap music blasting through the PA, this is a “country” bar mind you and that’s what Bill and the boys were layin’ down. So no one would dance for the band, but as soon as the rap came on it was all bumper belly's and butts out there, just stupid. Bill said he knew the guy that owned the place and that he had helped him get a motorcycle gang in there for security. Seems they had 19 fights on the night they opened, no doubt! Bill also said that a grandma and her granddaughter tried to pick him up one night. Yep! That’s the kinda place it is. When I was there to see Billy Joe, a girl tried to pick me up. She stared at me all night long and finally she came over to talk to me. I soon found out that she was 23 and had 5 children. The guy that she had the kids with wouldn’t marry her for the longest time. But when he finally did he left her after only a month of wedded bliss. So she was out for payback. But she wasn’t gonna get it from me!..especially as fertile as she was!
So next time you’re looking for a good ‘ol time head on out to Bunn, Top of the Hill is just outta town on Hwy 98 west. It’s BYOB and Rolling Rock is the top of their beer line but you WILL be entertained..if only by the crowd that goes there!
My apologies for not taking pictures (in fear of being shot!). They used to have a website but I think the webmaster was shot.

mojo
The main reason I write songs is because I HAVE to in order to hear the music I want. To my ears 98.6% of all music out there sucks! So I have to be my own radio so to speak.
One thing that puts a damper on that notion is hearing a song that I could never write or in all my years, top. One such song is “Tie my pecker to my leg” by Mojo Nixon. In a song FULL of great verses this is my favorite:
“Me and your Momma and some other whore,
floatin’ down a river on a shithouse door,
Gonna tie my pecker to my leg, to my leg
Gonna tie my pecker to my leg”
Now what pickled crevice of retarded grey matter did he dig that out of? Something about those lines are terribly terribly wrong but ooooh so right. The genius is in it’s imagery. Let’s dissect it:
If I was “Me” in the song, why would I suggest someone’s mother was a whore..by singing it to them?
How would the other person feel by being referred to in song as only “some other whore”?
Why would I be with 2 whores, one old enough to be someone’s mother?
Would a shithouse door really float? Especially with 3 people on it?
What river would we be on and where would I float with 2 whores to?
If I was with 2 whores, why would I tie my pecker to my leg?
What about the shithouse? Wouldn’t the lack of a door render it useless?
What would be the purpose of tying my pecker to my leg anyway? Why wouldn’t I just use duct tape like I usually do?
Whose shithouse is it? Won’t they be pissed when they see that the door is missing?
How would we actually get ON the shithouse door without it tipping or sinking?
These are all worth considering, and what makes the song so brilliant! There are limitless possibilities to what the song is really about.
OK, that’s enough ass kissing.
NOW, PLAY MY DAMN RECORD MOJO!

T-Day!
I sure do hope the hell y'all have a great T-day! And most important..Be Safe!
Among all my things to be thankful for, I am also very thankful that I didn't watch any more of the American Music Awards than I did! Jeez! That was horrible!

Kirchen
Rock and Roll ain’t dead...YET!, but it is aging gracefully. Last night, when our babysitter finally got home, the wife and I went down to the new Hideaway BBQ in Raleigh to catch Bill Kirchen’s last set. Avoiding the subject of our ages, I was HEAVILY influenced by his sound from as far back as my high school days. As I told him last night, that Commander Cody live record, “We’ve Got a Live One Here!” pretty much changed my life. It was full of great truck drivin’ songs, many written by Bill himself, with unbelievably great lyrics. Listen to “Seeds and Stems” and not crack a smile, I dare ya. And how about this for a first line of a song…”I just took three bennies and my semi-truck won’t start..” from “Semi-Truck”, just awesome stuff. And Bill trucked in the goods last night with his tight little 3 piece combo. He’s still ripping guitar licks like the Fender Telecaster was a model made just for him, and it just may have been. He’s as good as anyone making use of the dynamics that guitar, from the gutty lows of the top strings to the twangy highs of the bottom ones. I was thinking “Now THIS what a Tele is all about, boys and girls”. And I couldn’t figger out what kinda amp he had (it had a slant face was all I could see), but his tone was impeccable.
The club itself gets it’s own high marks for it’s cheap beer (Guinness for $3.50) and atmosphere. The owner brought in items from his own private collection and personally there are a few things on the walls that I wouldn’t let outta my house for fear of theft. I had my eyes on the Charlie Louvin with Elvis pic right by the door..oooooohhhh...I want that! The sound was better than the last time I was there so maybe that’s starting to come together.
Now, if they are gonna continue to have these kinda acts we need a few more handicap spaces out front, a double wheelchair ramp and some more handle bars for us old folks to hold on to while we’re peeing!
Bill and that damn Carina
Charlie and that damn Elvis

new book
I'm writting a new book. It's called "If I was gonna kill OJ, this is how I would do it" Can you belive that guy? I can't believe no one has offed him yet, I really can't. Free as a bird, guilty as sin and throwing it in everyone's face. Jeez!
NYC blog
Yeah, yeah, I know I shortchanged ya on my NYC trip and just put up pics without much if any explaination of the events surrounding them. But there's really not much to tell. I went up there as planned, got a frozen $5 beer on the plane which was the last of the Heinenkens so she traded it out for two bags of cashews. The cabbie was madman and drove me to Roscoe's like he was on a suicide mission. 'Scoe and I went over to Banjo Jim's and saw his wife's band, Mary Lee's Corvette, sans bass guitar, still very awesome and cool. She writes unbelievable songs, you gotta look her up and buy her latest CD. Ran into Chip Robinson at the that show and made him buy me 2 beers which I will forever be in debt for. Actually, he asked if he could..but I know him and he's gonna hold it over my head the rest of my life. Just like those 2 months of my life I gave to him back in '98! Anyhoo, Wednesday was practice day and it rained like a cow pissin' on a flat rock! But we had a great time and sorted a lot of things out. Basically, it was a "rememberin' session".
Thursday was gig day and we went back out to Brooklyn and grabbed the gear and did soundcheck. Mary Lee cooked 'Scoe and me a great dinner and we were on stage rockin', balls to the wall at 10:30 pm. I used the EXACT kit that I used on the record, including the 26" kick drum (woke up Friday and had extreme soreness in my right calf to prove it!)My friends from Bunn, NC, Eddie and Leland Winstaed, showed up and suprised the shit outta me. They so crazthy!
Dan, 'Scoe and I met for lunch at Pizza Grotto up the street from the Lakeside on Friday around 1:30 and Dan and I did some shopping before heading back over to Ave.B to rock like hell again for a happy hour throwdown beginning at 7 pm or so. Once again, we did NONE of the songs that we did at the Mercury show, pretty much just picking up where we left off.
The next day, back on a plane home. Beautiful! Just like the professionals do it!

notlame review
They say my name too much, but here's a review of the new Yayhoos record on the Notlame site:
Terry Anderson has been busy.
Terry Anderson has been rocking.
When does he not do both?
Well, his side project, the Yayhoos, has a new album out. The Yayhoos is a band Terry has w/ Dan Beard of The Georgia Satellites and Eric Ambel of The Del-Lords has just come out and the details and soundbites are below to check out!
The Yahoos - Put The Hammer Down
price: $15.50
URL: http://www.notlame.com/CDYAYHOOS2.html
REAL rock `n roll with Terry Anderson`s side band, who along with Dan Baird( former Georgia Satellites frontman/guitarist) and Eric Ambel(The Del-Lords) deliver a real dose of primal rock `n roll party fun that only these guys can pull off with not only aplomb but contagious passion! " These tunes alternately rock, roll and wrestle with all manner of influence a drunken collision between the Stones and the Faces each song driven by diverse singing strengths as each distinctive vocalist takes his turn. "Everything/Anything" serves as the bands modus operandi a partying, going-nowhere-special track that serves as a fun introduction to each player, powered by one of the best drum beats in recent history. Elsewhere, solid rockers rule with the sassy "Wheres Your Boyfriend At?",the semi-autobiographical "Getting Drunk" and Baird`s rough `n `tumble "Would It Kill You?". Ambel turns in the
smoothest sounds with the considerably more genteel "Between You And Me", loaded with pop smarts, together with a Rundgren-esque "Hurtin` Thing". Yet it is Anderson`s vocals that shinebrightest with a unique Jerry Garcia-meets-Ronnie Lane slant that transform both "All Dressed Up" and "Over The Top" into roots-rock masterpieces. The perfect party platter for people who play hard and can take a little hurtin` come sunrise. "-Exclaim Magazine.
"4 stars..From the crunchy guitar to the suggestive lyrics, it`s just one of the many carefree rock songs that aim to revive and rework `70s hard rock.Put the Hammer Down is a solid release from one of the best bar bands around. Put it on once for a taste, and keep coming back to it for more. It`s the kind of album that`ll grow on you from the kind of band that`ll put a smile on your face -- especially if you`ve had a little bit too much to drink. It`s hard to imagine anyone being upset or having a bad time at a Yayhoos show -- it`s much easy to picture a bar full of dancing people, tripping over themselves to hug their buddies or buy drinks for complete strangers."-AMG. Extremely Highly Recommended!
Fellow Yayhoo Eric Ambel has two albums we just got up on the Not Lame site, too:
Eric Ambel - Knucklehead

need a laugh?
Yeah Mondays suck, so what can you do to cheer yourself up when you're just downright miserable? He's what I do. I start remembering in my head that ridiculous flute solo in that Southern Rock classic, Marshall Tucker's "Heard it in a love song". And not only that!..The lyrics are enough to make anyone laugh out loud! "Heard it in a luuhh uuhve saw..awng...cain't be wrong..." Hilarious!
And if that don't work I'll try Kansas' "Carry on my wayward son, they'll be peace when you are done, lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more" diddle iddle diddle do do uh Uuuuhhh.... Oh yeah, that one does it for me every time!

big rock!
Nathan's excited cuz we finally got to revisit the BIG rock (just north of Bunn) from the Mesopotamian era..we later climbed it...said "hell yeah" and went home.
"Hey Mom!"
"Hey Mom!"

The process begins again for the making of a new OakTeam record. Jack's new Pro Logic rig sounds amazing! We're using Will's band as guinea pigs. They knocked out 2 great tracks yesterday as Jonathan (our trusted engineer) felt his way around the new system.
whorehoppin'?
As a single man, I was never one to meet a girl and go home with her on the same night, something in the South known as “whorehoppin’”. Call me old fashioned, but I’ve always needed those notes of trust and understanding for intimacy to occur. Why would I chance makin' babies with someone I don’t know? So when someone Emails me, whose music I’ve never heard, and wants me to write songs with them I’m a bit hesitant. I really need to know where your head is at musically to get down with you. I would hate for one of our children to end up on a really crappy record with flutes and banjos and someone singin' it in a voice like Michael McDonald's.
The correlation is amazingly similar because to us writers, our songs are a lot like our children. So please understand when I turn you down initially, I need to get to know you.
Take it slow...be gentle.

Living w/ the pain
Another stupid ass week of painting...like a fool. Certainly not the way that I envisioned my later years in life. I was hoping to have aquired more than just the few hits that I have and to be living a little more confortably..but I didn't and I ain't so...I deal with it..just like everybody else! I'm sure everybody can look back and wanna change a few things. That's why the gigs are so rewarding. Not only because they are so much fun but because I'm doing what I thought I'd be doing. I feel like I'm in my place when I'm on stage, no matter which band. Tuesday I fly out
to NYC, spend the night at Roscoe's and Wednesday meet up with Dan and Keith for a Yayhoos rehearsal. Thursday night is the gig at The Mercury Lounge with The Bottle Rockets and then on Friday I have a meeting with a lady at ASCAP thanks to my friend, Dave Rose at Deep South. Maybe she'll have an idea where some of these damn songs can go..
Speaking of songs, this past Wednesday I sang on a track for Big Al's next record. Scott Baggett, his producer sent me the Pro Tools files and Big Daddy Dave B. downloaded them into his rig and recorded the thing. I think it sounded great and the song, "I Do My Drinkin' on the Weekends" is ROCKIN' ROCKIN' ROCKIN'!!! Hell, the OakTeam might even pull it out one night!

Nova explained
I watched “Nova” last night in between handing out candy. It was about black holes. Let me break it down for ya.
Ya see, these smart sumbitches in the South Pole, Hawaii and Chile figured out that all of the galaxies have black holes and that is what is causing the rotation in them bastards. So all the stars and planets in each galaxy are like little turds just before going down the toilet. Now deep down inside of the black hole, well… it’s black..for a while. Then there’s all this light down in there that is really just stored up energy from all the stars it sucked in. Now sometimes, that energy will explode and it will be a whole lot like lighting a fart, but it comes outta both ends. They know this cause they seen it, and they taped it on the telescope somehow and showed it to me.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is a little one and our black hole is GRAVEYARD DEAD!
It really ain’t spinning no more, so there’s no real threat of us getting’ sucked down any time soon. BUT! Our closest neighbor galaxy, Andromenda….now thass a big ‘ol sumbitch! And it’s headed our way at the blazing speed of about 700 million light years an hour. How in the hell do ya get that many years in an hour, I don’t know..I guess ya gotta ask one of them bastards. But anyway, Andromenda is gonna eat us up cause we are only about a single light year across. It’s toilet is still flushing and hard too! So at the current speed that it’s traveling in our direction it should get to us and swallow us in Oooohhh…..about 10 billion years. Makes ya feel kinda small don’t it?
Ya see, these smart sumbitches in the South Pole, Hawaii and Chile figured out that all of the galaxies have black holes and that is what is causing the rotation in them bastards. So all the stars and planets in each galaxy are like little turds just before going down the toilet. Now deep down inside of the black hole, well… it’s black..for a while. Then there’s all this light down in there that is really just stored up energy from all the stars it sucked in. Now sometimes, that energy will explode and it will be a whole lot like lighting a fart, but it comes outta both ends. They know this cause they seen it, and they taped it on the telescope somehow and showed it to me.
