Patrick:
Lubbock is bad.
How bad is it?
Why it's so bad, Mac Davis wrote a song about it.

Happiness is Lubbock, TX. in my rear view mirror.

Ha, that's funny Patrick!  You've been here and you know and are a witness; so listen to him everyone :D. 

Were we on the National Weather Channel today?  If not, we missed a grat chance.  We had winds up to about 60 mph...WITH BROWN DIRT MIXED IN WITH THE WIND!  THERE WAS A RED FLAG ALERT ON ALL DAY AND IT WILL be the same tomorrow.  The visibility was about less than an eight of a mile!  There was a BROWN OUT all over this area today as well. 

HA,  of all of the field trips that we could go on  today, we had scheduled...you guessed it...THE WINDMILL MUSEUM   ;D :o

Yes, between the Dixie Chicks and Mac Davis, we are...not popular out here ;)

Susan and Patrick,

  If you look at the final lines of Happiness is Lubbock in my Rear View mirror, the final lines go something like this.

  Happiness is Lubbock Texas growing nearer and dearer.
  And the last line, says You can bury me in Lubbock Texas in my jeans.

  Lubbock is a hate-love relationship.  I can not imagine being happy any where else.  Lubbock is home sweet home.  I love Lubbock so much that when I leave the population sign, then I get homesick and nearly flip summersualts when I see it ahead.

  Please understand that the song is so much more than hating or disliking Lubbock.  I used to think that it was a shallow song, but it is a song of growth and transitions.

  I love Lubbock, and I stand for it as well as the Mighty Football Team of Texas Tech.   ;D  Go Red Raiders.

  Sincerely,




  Anne C. McGuire

Patrick:
Anne, that's fine that you love Lubbock; myself, I think it stinks, just like the Mac Davis song.
I have many bad memories involving Lubbock, and I have no desire to ever go there again.

Susan, during my wild days, we would often drive up to Lubbock and go honky tonkin; most of the time it would be dancing to the music of the Maines Brothers Band (Natalie's family) or Joe Ely.
There is lots of country music roots in my family (W. Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel, Bob Wills, Hoyle Nix), then I heard my first ZZ Top song, and have not listened to C & W since.

That's funny Patrick...Lubbock is rather uneventful compared to big cities fo course, but, Lubbock was where God brought me AFTER I had given up my party life.   I can honestly say that I have been here in Lubbock for 27yrs (minus 5 in the Military away from Lubbock,) and I personally have never been in a bar to drink (thats 22 yrs now :D)...I also started out not liking country music at all, but, it grows on ya, especially marrying a Lubbockite.  But I grew up in my high School years in listening to rock and roll in Cleveland, Ohio area (where the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is.)   I really have no problem with a little drink and a little music every now and then.  (I have not been drunk for about 27 yrs PTL :o)  (Not that I hadn't wanted to on rough occassions ;)   None the less, I am where GOD has me and until that changes, well, Ill just have to drive on....
