Friday May 31, The Whisky Rebellion plays at Rod & Gun. Our esteemed folk-steampunk-guitarist Sammo opens the show at 9pm. There will be oysters at 7pm. We will also be playing the Rod & Gun on these dates.

Facebook invites. I know, right? Ubiquitous, annoying, misplaced. I get it. Well, Mr. Sheldrake, all your troubles are over. From now on, I’ll only be sending event invites to the folks in this group: Fans of Alex Battles & The Whisky Rebellion. It’ll also be a place for people to share photos, recordings etc.

Or course, all of our shows will also be posted on our The Whisky Rebellion likezone at Facebook, on my Twitter account, as well as here on whiskyrebellion.com

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Seriously,

the girl is great. She really is. She’s funny, she’s got great timing. She’s beautiful.

OK. Short list there.

Go ahead, read yer damn NY Times pieces on the ladies of SNL. yada yada yada on the old funny/pretty trap whatever. I’m not in on it. I don’t care.

All I’m sayin’ ya jerks, is she’s funny. She’s good. She’s talented. And we cannot afford to just throw talented people to the damn curb here all the time for our own amusement.

Like we did to

Elvis Presley

Sammy Davis Jr.

Marilyn Monroe

Lenny Bruce

Look. Lindsay’s good at what she does, she’s just being told she’s just HOT. Which she is, fine, but she’s also funny as hell. She is or Mean Girls would have sucked and you know it.

And this goes for Miley too. I know we’re not there yet, but the Pink haircut is worrisome.
