I do not totally eschew alcohol. But, I think that the fabled Jack Daniels
whiskey is a pretty nasty example of corn likker. The Jack Daniels notations on
the menu are merely a marketing thing supporting H. L. Mencken's famous quote
(see tagline)

There is a reason the OTR truckers refer to Knoxville, TN as "Malfunction
Junction".  Bv)=

I like most of Neil Diamond's things. And I have seen him live a couple times.
Quite the show man. Simon and Garfarkle were ... OK, mostly. But, Peter, Paul
and Mary along with Joanie Phony ... errr Baez were most definitely my cup of
tea. For folk songs I much prefer the Weavers or Kingston Trio ... or Pete
Seeger (former Weaver) on his own.
