A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all

We don't make a party out of lovin';
We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo;
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,

Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen.
Football's still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids here still respect the college dean.

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.

Words to live by. :rofl: MAN, I love Merle Haggard, I have pretty much every record he put his name on.

Thats just too dang cool man!

Also my uncle is a big time producer for Sony Pictures out in LA.

And not a direct relation...but I have a first cousin who is best friends with Michael McKean's wife. Michael McKean is best known for playing Lenny on Laverne & Shirley back in the 70's...and he's also Billy Crystal's best friend. So my cousin gets to hang out with that crowd. Must be nice! LOL

My Aunt is Carmen Velasquez. She is actually my Godmother but she is family so she is my Aunt if you know what I mean.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...-chicago_x.htm

Not really famous so to speak but her family is very influential in Chicago with getting Hispanics to vote and she has opened clinics throughout the city for poor immigrants to receive medical care.

She is regarded as 1 of the top ten most powerful women in Chicago.

Santa, so you better watch out Joe!!;)
