One part of Monday's Academy of Country Music awards I really liked was their list of the Top Ten country acts in radio play over the past ten years. I'd heard of all of them and have many, many of their albums.
10. Keith Urban
9. Brad Paisley
8. Garth Brooks
7. Rascal Flays
6. Brooks & Dunn
5. Alan Jackson
4. George Strait
3. Kenny Chesney
2. Tim McGraw
1. Toby Keith-- My Man!!
By the way, the ACM Entertainer of the Year was Jason Aldean.

"Buffalo Soldier"
Listening to Chicago's WXRT right now, at 8:07 am, and Lin Braemer is playing Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldier," one of my favorite songs of all time...and one of historical significance referring to black soldiers serving out west in the US Army after the Civil War.
I used to use the instrumental part of it (on side two of the 45) to introduce myself when I was deejaying.
"Dreadlocks, Rasta" Baby. --RoadDog

Movie Scratches: Heist-- Edgar-- Dawn-- Jack
Movie Scratches: A Dog's Eye View of Current Movies.
65. TOWER HEIST-- 11-9-- FOX LAKE $4-- A truly motley crew of break-in guys. Whatever you do, don't drop the Ferrari.
66. J. EDGAR-- 11-14-- FOX LAKE FREE-- A very complicated guy. DiCaprio should get a nomination for this one.
67. TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN-- 11-27-- GOLDSBORO, NC $6-- Marrying a vampire can be really dangerous to your health.
68. JACK AND JILL-- 12-7-- FOX LAKE $4-- Much funnier than I thought. Who'd have thought Al Pacino. I'd buy his coffee.
So, I've Seen 68 Movies So Far This Year. --RoadDog

It's Them, Not Me: The Smirk's Gone
Is that what it takes to get that smirk off disgraced Illinois Governor Blago's face and to get the swagger out of his walk. Put him in jail for 14 years.
The Blago we saw the last several days was nothing like the cocky one that we've seen ever since he was arrested all those years ago. Then he proceeded to further embarrass the state with the circus he created about it.
How he was found innocent in the first trial because the one woman would vote to convict is highly suspicious.
He finally gets his just dessert.
Let's hope to get on with our state and forget this ugly chapter.
At least, I smugly admit, I NEVER Voted for the guy. I may not be proud of other folks I voted for, but at least not with him.
Bye, Bye Blago. Justice is Finally Done. --RoadDog

Academy of Country Music Awards 2011: "When Alabama Gets the Bomb"
Quote from Tom Lehrer's "Who's Next" from the album That Was the Year That Was.
Monday night I watched the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards Show on Fox. Well. actually, I recorded it on the old VHS and then watched it at 10 pm. By jumping over commercials and parts of performances, I was able to see the whole show in one hour (instead of the two).
I was glad to see the band Alabama get an award. Also happy to see they're coming back after that forever goodbye tour they had a few years ago. Judging from their facial hair, perhaps we should change their name to the "Graybeards." The three front men are still with the band. I didn't get a look at the drummer, so am not sure he is back.
I have all of Alabama's albums and on into their CD era. I liked them right out of the gate. As an Alabama bonus, we used to go to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, every year and often spent a night drinking ice cold beer, staring in amazement at how many mugs of beer the waiters could carry in one hand, and doing the hand signals to order at the wonderful old roadhouse, excuse me, boardwalk/beach house, The Bowery.
If you want some real fine country music, this is the place to go. This is where Alabama learned their chops, much like the Beatles did in Hamburg and Liverpool. The house bands play for free and depend on tips to get by. Plus, they play every night except Sunday.
There are pictures of Alabama when they were performing at The Bowery.
Love That Alabama. --RoadDog
HOW'S THAT AGAIN? Have you ever wondered what some sayings, especially by older folk, mean?

Seventy Years Ago Today, Pearl Harbor
An event that plunged the United States into World War II, although it was obvious by preparations that it was just a matter of time before that happened.
Along with the Alamo, this battle is one of the non-Civil War battles that I am most interested in and have several books devoted to it. I have been doing blog entries on it ever since I started, especially in my history one.
Back when I was teaching, I would at least mention it to classes in my earlier years before it became a one-day lesson and eventually a three-day one. One year, I even had a Pearl Harbor Survivor come in and give a talk. And, these lessons were considering that I did not teach that era.
I put up my three US flags once we had daylight today.
Today, every one of my blogs will be about the event, even my Civil War one.
And then there was another sneak attack that happened ten years ago.
I'll Not Forget It.

"Na Na" #1 This Date 1969
The number one song in the nation this date, 42 years ago, was "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by a group called Steam.
The c-writer of the song, Paul Leka, recently died on October 12th. I wrote about him in my history blog on December 1st.
There was not a band called Steam when it was released, just Mr. Leka and his writing partner. The "Na Na Hey Hey" was added to extend the song so it wouldn't be played on radio because it was too long. It was the "B" side and they wanted the "A" side played.

Congrats to Ron Santo
Yesterday was great news for the family and fans of former Chicago Cub third baseman Ron Santo who FINALLY got his much deserved spot at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
Too bad they couldn't have done it while he was still alive as he died just over a year ago.
A player with stats like his should have gone in soon after retirement. And then, he was a Cubs announcer for twenty years.
Talk about a man who bled Cub blue. And I am a White Sox fan. He did play for DaSox his last year, though.
I'll never forget the time he gave a young high school kid, me, a ride home from Fremd High School in Palatine and THEN came in for coffee with my parents. What a guy!!
Way to Go No. 10!! --RoadDog

Not Forgetting Tomorrow, 70 Years Ago
That would be Pearl Harbor and the 70th anniversary of that event that finally got the US into World War II even though we had been preparing for it many years in advance.
I'll be putting my US flags out, hoping others do as well.
I am writing nothing but Pearl Harbor on my history blog:
http://cootershistorything.blogspot.com
Sad to see all the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association chapters shutting down as their memberships fall to zero. But an 18-year-old sailor there would now be 88.
Same for all the rest of the Greatest Generation.
Not Forgetting.

Killed a Keg, But Bears Lost Anyway
Yesterday, we had our annual Bears football game party with about 45 in attendance. We killed a full half barrel by the end of the game, or what was called a game. It was pretty pathetic. The Bears effort against KC surely does not bode well for any playoff hopes.
We even didn't have much "juice," my special concoction where shot glasses are downed for every Bear TD (there were none) and qb sack (we had a few). Plus, we did several rally shots. Even the infamous "Rally Rat" couldn't get the boys going.
Folks were really crowded along the bar, "Margaritaville," the bar area as well as the pit and "skyboxes" in the "North Woods" to watch the game. There was another group upstairs at "Key North" watching as well.
Many stuck around for the Packer-Giant game which was everything the Bear game wasn't. The Packers won on a field goal as time expired.
Of course, we had our usual "Name That Tune" contest and later listened to the "Animal House" soundtrack.
If You Can't Win, At Least have a Good Time. --RoadDog

Hey Chicago Tribune...It WAS a BIG Game
I'm running a bit behind in my newspaper reading since I got back from North Carolina Thursday, but I just read Friday's Sports Section.
I was more than a bit surprised that there WAS NO ARTICLE on Northern Illinois' Mid-American Conference Championship game later that night. Hey, I realize we are not one of the Big Guys, but even then, there are a lot of NIU grads living in your service area.
At least you did send someone to cover the game in today's paper, but that was PAGE THREE!!
At least the Daily Herald had a front page article on Northern's linebacker Pat Schiller in their Friday paper.
Ya Done Been Scooped. --RoadDog

NIU Huskies Going Bowling
It's a good thing we've got over a month to recover now, but Northern Illinois' Huskies will be going south to the Go Daddy Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, January 8th. It looks like we'll be playing Arkansas State.
This comes about after last night's come-from-behind 23-20 victory in the Mid-American Conference's Championship team over the University of Ohio.
As a matter of fact, the Huskies have been winning about as ugly as you can the last several games and this was no different. There was no offense in the first half and a so-so defense, even so, we were down just 20-0 at half time.
The second half didn't start too well either. But then Northern finally scored. A second TD had a missed PAT to make it 20-13. A drive with about five minutes left resulted in a tie score 20-20. The defense held and Northern drove down the field and had a field goal as time expired for a Northern victory.
We watched the game at the new Route 12 Bar and Grill on US-12 in Fox Lake, Illinois. The owners were nice enough to put the game on several TVs and keep the sound up. The majority of the patrons could have cared less, but, believe me, when the Huskies won at the end, they got a spirited rendition of the Huskie Fight Song.
The owner said next year he would be willing to make the bar Huskie Football Headquarters.
At age 60, my heart doesn't need these kinds of games.
So, now, Liz and I will be making plans to go to Mobile in a month. Warmer weather and the Gulf Coast beckons.
Go Huskies!! --RoadDog

Just Got Back
Yesterday, I flew out of Raleigh-Durham Airport to Atlanta's Hartsfield then on to Milwaukee where Liz picked me up.
I had been visiting family in Goldsboro, NC, since Nov. 21st for Thanksgiving. Stayed at my mom's. My brother and his wife live next door, a good thing because Mom is 81.
My sister, her two kids and grandchild also visited. We got to visit with my cousin and his wife several times in Wayne Memorial Hospital.
Always good to visit with family as well as getting home.
Preparing for our big Bears party Sunday.
Too Much Fun. --RoadDog
THIS JUST IN:
The Supreme Court has ruled that there will be no Nativity Scene in the nation's capital this year. This is not for any religious reason. They can't find any Wise Men and have about given up finding a Virgin.
