Yeah…”Summer Girls.” Still perhaps the worst lyrics written ever. The fact that it was a hit is proof that many people have no taste. None. Enjoy!

A publicist sent this to me yesterday, and I found it amusing on a number of levels. For starters, Pittsburgh Slim looks like Zach Braff in a do rag, and when they show him lip syncing “I like when girls kiss girls,” that low voice coming from this DJ Jazzy Trevor, it looks hilariously unrealistic. Second, the actual song, if you can call it that, is three keyboard squawks laid to a drum machine. Not a new trend, but it does amaze me how music-free music is slowly becoming. Lastly, I must confess, the girl, Penthouse pet Krista Ayne, does a damn good striptease.
So yeah, the song has little to no redeeming value. But sometimes that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
We know a good cause when we see one…
The California wildfires that have dominated the news recently remind us of the sacrifices the brave men and women of the firehouse do for us everyday.
Last year, the First Annual “Heart of a Hero” Benefit Concert in southern California raised over $14,000 for the five families of the fallen firefighters in last year’s Esperanza, Ca. wildfire. And thanks to the help of country artists such as Big & Rich, Lonestar, Charlie Daniels, Brooks & Dunn, Wynonna and others, 100% of the money went to these families.
The Second Annual Heart of a Hero Benefit Concert and Auction will be held on December 1st and, once again, all the money will go to the Wildland Firefighters Foundation (this was set in motion WELL before these last devistating wildfires in California).
Your support will benefit the families of fallen firefighters.

The Billy Gibson Band is perfect for MySpace: They play blues, which has a national fan base that’s sparse but passionate–in fact, one might argue that the Internet kept blues alive, hooking up fans with the music at a time when the commercial music world left it for dead.
Gibson’s a harmonica player from Memphis, and it’s not just blues he can appreciate, but the Memphis Stax soul tradition as well, evidenced in his adventurous but interesting cover of Booker T. & the MG’s hit “Hip Hug-Her,” substituting his harp for the classic Booker B-3 organ line.
If you’re a blues fan who likes the Chicago stuff or the more B.B. King electrified side and not the Delta hollerin’ acoustic blues or country-drenched Texas style, Billy Gibson’s for you. Stop by his MySpace and stay awhile, and if you like the sample bites, dive into the 99-cent download buffet.
