I dreamed I had a good job and I got well paid
I blew it all at the penny arcade
A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll
No pretty chick is gonna make me crawl
Get on a TWA to the promised land
Every woman, child and man
Gets a Cadillac and a great big diamond ring
Don't you know you're riding with the king
He's on a mission of mercy to the new frontier
He's gonna check us all on out of here
Up to that mansion on a hill
Where you can get your prescription filled
Get on a TWA to the promised land
Everybody clap your hands
And don't you just love the way that he sings
Don't you know we're riding with the king
Riding with the king
Don't you know we're riding with the king
A tuxedo and shiny 335
You can see it in his face, the blue never lie
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings
And don't you know we're riding with the king
I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old
With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart made of gold
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
And I'm gonna play this thing until the day I die
Don't you know we're riding with the king
Don't you know we're riding with the king
Riding, you're riding with the king
You're riding, you're riding with the king

So last night I saw Ben Harper and the Relentless 7 at the Fillmore in San Francisco, and it was incredible. I LOVE the Fillmore, it has such great history and it's just a really nice place to watch a band play. It's smallish, so even if you're in the back you're still pretty close.

Brad Paisley’s partnership with fellow artist and guitarist Keith Urban on "Start A Band" has moved from the realms of stellar audio work to an intriguing visual collaboration.
The two opened last week’s 42nd Annual CMA Awards with a live performance of the song. That came just days after they finished editing a video for the single that has an Xbox feel.

Mitch Hedberg is my favorite comedian of all time. His style (random non-sequiturs) reminded me of old-school Stephen Wright.
Hedberg sadly died in March of 2005 of a drug overdose.
