Cowboy Troy

The musical guest on Leno tonight (caught it on accident; NBC was late playing Conan). That was the strangest sight I've ever seen: a black guy playing country music. I thought country music represented everything people of color were supposed to oppose on principle, like segregation and intolerance and...well basically, the red states (Conan's Nascar-racing-gun-toting Jesus). Whatevs, it's possible I was misinformed. But get this: Cowboy Troy also rapped to country music...

thereby proving once and for all that those are two genres that can't be mixed. Instead of a fusion, it was more like listening to country on your radio while you played rap on your headphones, at the same time.

On a happier note, I also caught a rerun of Conan that featured the Walker Texas Ranger clips. One of the clips didn't have Walker in it at all, but a bad guy in camouflage with a machine gun who punches a grampa in the guts. A little girl jumps up and screams, "Don't hit him like that!" and the bad guy pimp-slaps all 4'6" of her vehemently.

Ha ha ha. That's funny, even though it doesn't have Walker.

I'm falling asleep at work.
