A spiritual question to ponder.

Will There Be Big Rigs In Heaven? by Buck Owens

(download)

Will there be big rigs in heaven when I die?
Will my reward be cruising down that freeway in the sky?
When I climb that final grade, when my final run is made
Will there be big rigs in heaven?

That ol' diesel singing loud
Big wheels gliding thru the clouds
Would they allow a big rig in heaven?
Gearing down, that engine's pulling
Up to where ol' Gabriel's blowing
They've got to need a big rig in heaven!

If my ol' Kenworth don't come thru
A new Saint Peter-bilt will do
If they let me have a big rig in heaven
No more pot-holes, no more scales
No more smokeys on my tail
Can't wait to drive a big rig in heaven!

(chorus)

Hot showers every morning
Every ticket is a warning
I think I'd like a big rig in heaven
Every waitress is an angel
With her coffee pot and halo
What could beat a big rig in heaven?

I'll wear wings and play that harp
But I never could stay parked
Can I drive my big rig in heaven?
Is there a golden interstate
Just inside that pearly gate
Don't Jesus need a big rig in heaven?

One of my favorite album covers, and one of my favorite bands.

In addition to the album cover, the song will scare you straight:

Charlie with a heartbreaking song about his now dead brother Ira:

An all-time classic:

Approaching their 30th anniversary as a band.

Yes, I know -- Ian, Ian, Ian. Meanwhile, they stuck it out together, stayed a band, and made over a quarter century of great music.

Great live performance video:

Way back when, working it out - NICE SHORT PANTS:

Chillicious:

Please for you to enjoy a ridiculous picture of Bart Stupak with milkmaids or something.

Bart Stupak's posse:

Confession: I have no idea what a "milkmaid" really is. I think it's this, but I don't want to Google it because I feel sure there is porn of it and I don't want to get sidetracked.

Getting obsessive about this Swedish band, Fredrik. #musicmonday

Also, the gorgeous Abba-esque Black Fur:

Love the crunchy martial beats and lighter-than-air harmonies.

Victim thought to be suspect for hours?

U.S. official said authorities at Fort Hood initially thought one of the slain victims was the shooter, a mistake that resulted in a delay of several hours in identifying Hasan as the suspect.

via google.com

This is buried in the 18th paragraph of the story, but seems pretty huge to me. Was Hasan ever unguarded? Why was the particular slain victim thought to be the suspect? No criticism of the brave first responders at a chaotic scene, but it just seems like a big part of the story with real lessons for the future and it felt strange to have it dropped as an aside in the back end of the story. Again, no criticism or conspiracy theory here - just some odd news judgment.
