Hollywoodland types

An ever so typical, rich woman from Hollywoodland purchased the last remaining woodlands in the Malibu hills, intending to level the forest and build a big mansion. There was a really large, very old tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted a good view of her newly purchased land so she started to climb the big tree. As she neared the top she slipped and slid down the tree to the ground and got a lot of splinters in her crotch. In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest emergincy room. The only doctor available happened to be an old deadhead. She told him how she had bought a big piece of land and then how she got all the splinters. The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her to go into the examining room and he would see if he could help her. She sat and sat and waited and waited for morre than 6 hours before the doctor reapeared. The angry rich woman demanded, What took you so long??!!!

The deadhead doc smiled and then told her, "Well, it took some time to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Manegement before I can remove old-growth timber from a recreational area."

I mean NOT covering his red neck.

that's what I thought...

my favorite of his is You Never Even Call Me By My Name, which is actually Steve Goodman's if the lyrics are to be believed, but just like he says it's the perfect country song!

"I was drunk the day that Mama got out of prison..."

and besides...

he wrote Take This Job and Shove It, which is on the short list of great songs of the 20th Century. And alas is no less relevant today than when it was written...

Johnny Paycheck sang it

How did David Allan Coe become a topic here? Johnny Paycheck gained notoriety with his cover of Coe's song back in the 80's

well...

avatar

cc posted one of his songs...

and then his fans emerged.

Yeah, I know Johnny Paycheck had the hit, but I like the songwriters.

And this IS the freeform topic...

which reminds me

a friend of mine has just returned from a trip to Texas, where he says there's this Toby Keith song called American Ride that's a complete ripoff of St. Stephen! My brain is exploding at the thought.

Shades of Stephen?
