    Joe Tex lives! The man is channeling him.

    Good stuff. That man is tapped into the zeitgeist whether he realizes it or not.

    Bring back HUNG! Whatever that company is that sells megapacks of CDs on hits of the 70s, 80s, etc., can combine the artistry of Hung, that dude you speak of, pants on the ground and Leroy Wells. Let me sell it. I'll buy a paper or two with my profits.

    Good for General Platt. He sang what needed to be said.

    I loathe American Idol, but this is a pretty cool story.

    Avoided the story all day (took some doing) because I hate the Gong show aspect of the the first three-fifths of the Idol season - but if Platt's song gets one kid to pull up his pants, he's done the world a service.
