late night mexican food
this new LAFF STOP in houston is a beautiful club and we had a very good audience last night; as my friend, brookie, said "we got biker's titty bar and the world's greatest dope story" both in the same set. the bikers' story is a texas story and i had that as sort of a theme last night complete with, yes liz, VAN SEATS which, truth be known, is a texas story and the original guy was north of houston on I-45. in my road shows, i sometimes move him to various states to fit in with whatever i am doing at the time. artistic leeway.
i rent car here next week and drive up to chattanooga and the drive should be pretty because some of the leaves will be turning ... i think.
well, joe the plumber turned out to be: a. not a plumber, b. not making anywhere close to 250,000 per year which is what it would take for obama's so-called tax increase to come into effect...i say "so called" because what will really happen is that the bush tax cuts for those making over 250K will be allowed to expire., and last, but not least, c. joe, the wannabe plumber, owes back taxes.
hell, for all i know, the republicans may be "throwing" this election because whoever goes into office is facing some really serious problems. the hole we are in is going to take some digging to get out of and, if mc cain were president, he would be faced with a democratic controlled congress and would have problems getting anything passed whereas obama will be able to get his programs through (for better or worse). (gee, that was a convoluted sentence).
what i keep telling my rather crestfallen republican friends, and yes, i do have republican friends...matter of fact, i am staying with one while here in houston, is that obama will make a great president for all of us. you just wait and see, this guy is for real and is the person we need in the white house in these trying times. for those of you who do not believe this, keep this post, and let us see together whether i am right.
a sidebar: on wed. night, after the debate, rhonda and i were talking on the phone and she asked if ed, my republican friend, held my political views against me. i told her, i have known ed for decades and we have never agreed on anything political but we do agree that we like each other and both of us love brookie. (brookie is the other half of that wonderful relationship) ed has a mc cain/palin bumber sticker on his truck and i told him i want to ride around in it with my obama shirt on....lol. that would spin some heads around...
i have written about some of the many things i like about houston but i think i forget to mention the abundance of good late night mexican food. from my early days here i have always had a craving for migas late at night. if you live here or are coming here for whatever reason, let me suggest la tapatia on richmond in the montrose. it is fucking great! and cheap. 4.80 for a breakfast that will knock your socks off.
oh well, gotta go and see some more old friends before it is nap time. two shows tonight and 3 tomorrow.
rock and roll and peace to us all.
