My annual 4th of July thought: Instead of cheering for people who are competing to see how many hot dogs they can stuff into their faces, how about we have a contest to see how much food we can deliver to people who are struggling to put meals on their family’s table?

I grew up in Texas (the state), and I agree with you. My youthful memories are of a warm, welcoming, open-armed place. Sadly, a lot has changed since then, and not for the better.

My old stomping grounds. Drummer David “Fuzzy” Fore was with the Zakary Thaks for a while (not on this record, though) and went on to join the amazing Bubble Puppy (“Hot Smoke and Sassafras”). en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zakary_...
