Are you up for the challenge? Simply answer the question and you will be proven to be up for it. I usually post a song with my blog thread. That's why it's called blog n roll.

You might say I'm driving down the right lane, facing traffic with this song, an answer to Merle Haggard's song about Hillary? What side of the street are you on when it comes to Merle's political views----the side he introduced when he wrote, recorded and released The Fightin' Side...

While at least one of you was looking for me on Buck Owens Boulevard on Monday, February 25, 2008, around noon, I was sitting on the patio at Zingo's Cafe after having downed a burger, fries and a salad, starring at a sign and becoming inspired by that sign to pen this song....

Good morning. I'm Dr BLT, and I'm here to introduce the freshly paved Merle Haggard Drive, featuring Mystery Merley Girly. I'm also here to categorically deny all rumors associated with the song, including the rumor that when you play the song backwards, it says, "I'm the...

It seemed like the perfect metaphor to depict my life. I was clearly under the weather, but couldn't miss this for the world. I was attending the official street naming party for Merle Haggard and the ceremony was wrapping up. I had my open pen in hand and my Merle Haggard's 16...

The date was January 29, 2008, the first calm day after a week of wild storms that spread across California. To put the day in an historical perspective, it was also the day John McCain won the Republican primaries in Florida.
