2. Penelope Trunk:

The farmer broke up with me five times the first five months we were together, last year. So I learned that he had huge commitment issues.

I tried to do the advisable thing to do when you’re with someone who has commitment issues. I tried to fall in love with someone else. But I didn’t. I only missed the farmer more.

So I told myself that it’s okay to be with someone who has commitment issues, as long as I am having fun.

But my kids grew to love the farm, and the farmer, almost as quickly as I did. This makes sense. My oldest son was with me on my first visit to the farm, and if you have ever been on a working farm you know that to kids, it’s like Disney World.

Them Crooked Vultures

I like the website for Them Crooked Vultures - - stylish, all the links are obvious, and the creepy vulture guy moves just enough to be unsettling. (It's also funny that they have a t-shirt on sale, but no music posted.) The group consists of drummer Dave Grohl, vocalist and guitarist Josh Homme, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and Alain Johannes as a live rhythm guitarist.

Here's a few short clips showing off the group's classic guitar rock sound:





And here's the band performing Nobody Loves Me And Neither Do I live:



Dave Grohl lives pretty close to me - - I've seen him and his kid at the park.
