I've lived all over the country, and I've never seen any place work themselves into a panic over the weather the way East Texas does.

Every time it sprinkles the weatherman interrupt programming.  It's annoying and it's dangerous; like the little boy who cried wolf, the day will come when there really is a danger but nobody will believe them.

This is from 1944!  Long before there was Bill Haily, Elvis Presley, or Jerry Lee Lewis, there was Harry "The Hipster" Gibson.  As you listen, keep in mind there is no bass or drums backing him up; this is just one man, playing his heart out on the piano.

(Thanks to Bill Griffith for the heads up!)

There are certain passages in this book that sound like they’re straight out of Zippy the Pinhead.
