The Reverse Advanced (started out Advanced and became Overt, otherwise known as Second-Stage Advanced Weirdo) Tom Waits is going on an honest-to-goodness tour. Well, eight dates and for Overt, cockamamie reasons, but I'll take it.- Everybody loves Johnny Cash's American V, so I guess his reputation will remain intact. What a relief.
- Get as ripped as LL Cool J! (But not Brad Pitt.)
- Bob Dylan was voted top living songwriter by the readers of Paste magazine. Meanwhile, the readers of Copy magazine prefer Donovan.
- Avoid this toy guitar at all costs! It has parts that could cause you to choke, plus it encourages you to play "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton.

Here is a song title for you:
"What Should I Have For Lunch?"
you can use it, if you want to.
I'm really looking forward to hearing Cash's new CD. a psychologist who once played Johnny Cash songs for inmates at a California correctional facility. You can find that story here:

The experience inspired me to write this song:
JC Therapy
words and music by Dr. Bruce L. Thiessen
aka Dr. BLT (c)2006

During the course of that performance, I noted the power of Johnny Cash's songs in touching the hearts of these inmates. Since then, I started working on a Cash tribute CD that included songs like these:
(We) Still Miss Someone
(lyrical adaptation based on Cash's original)
words and music by Dr. BLT (c)2006
http://www.drblt.net/music/MissSomeone.mp3
and
The Ballad of Johnny and June
words and music by Dr. BLT (c)2006
http://www.drblt.net/music/Johnnyandjune.mp3
Now that we've received this, the final chapter in the Cash legacy, it has me wonderring who will be:
The Next Johnny Cash
words and music by Dr. BLT (c)2006

Bruce
aka Dr. BLT, The World's First Blog 'n' Roll Artist
