With No Boxing, What To Do On Boxing Day
Now is a time of year when many people have a little more leeway than normal to relax, explore, discover, and enjoy some new things. Internet traffic is usually way down for this week, and sports like boxing mostly take it off.
So in the run-up to New Year’s Eve, when many folks will blow their minds and budgets simultaneously, take some time, if you haven’t done so already, to check out some music with which you may not be familiar.
At the top of that list I suggest the recently-reissued classic album The Road Goes on Forever by the Highwaymen, who were Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson.
This album combines the rhythmic poetry of these four with the tight, swinging music for which they were always known. Plus – as if this isn’t the norm, which of course it is not – you will want to listen to these lyrics of wisdom, compassion, and sorrow over and over again until you have mastered them yourself.
Fortunately for the world, CMT.com has a free listening party featuring all the tracks from this album.
And, as I wrote here recently, the video from the haunting classic, "Live Forever", also on this Highwaymen album, is also available for free at CMT.com.
This newer version is performed by the song’s author, Billy Joe Shaver, along with Big & Rich.
And tell 'em Eddie sent you.

Bush and the Republicans were not protecting us on 9-11, and we aren't a lot safer now. We may be more afraid due to george bush, but are we safer? Being fearful does not necessarily make one safer. Fear can cause people to hide and cower. What do you think? What is he doing to us, and what is he doing to the world?
If ever there was ever a time in our nation's history that called for a change, this is it!
We have lost friends and influenced no one. No wonder most of the world thinks we suck. Thanks to what george bush has done to our country during the past three years, we do!
