My brand-new novel 'RAINS DON'T CLEANSE' comes out this week. Check my blog for free excerpts. I'm hosting L.A. Gay Pride's Main Stage next Sat and Sunday.
Better get my rest this week! :-)
Whilst out running errands, I go to Borders Books for the quaint, tactile experience of browsing in a book store, whereupon I discover Bertrand Russell, Friedrich Nietzsche, and even Richard Dawkins safely tucked away just where you would expect to find them: in the religion section. Maybe American booksellers are trying to save their atheistic souls?
The "Train" Rolls In By Tom Weber Post-Bulletin, Rochester MN
BYRON -- Wayne "the Train" Hancock, whose traditional country music is strongly influenced by Hank Williams and Bob Wills, will perform at 8 p.m. April 25 at the Byron American Legion Post.
Hancock calls himself a "hillbilly with attitude," and says he wants to take back country music from the over-commercialization of recent decades. As a clue to his viewpoint, Hancock is based in Austin, Texas, rather than the traditional country hometown of Nashville.
"I'm like a stab wound in the fabric of country music in Nashville," Hancock has said.
The AllMusic Guide says of Hancock, "A rare breed of traditionalist, one who imbues his retro obsessions with such high energy and passions that his songs never feel like the museum pieces he's trying desperately to preserve. "
Hancock's latest CD, "Viper of Melody," is produced by Lloyd Maines, who has produced albums for Wilco, Uncle Tupelo and the Dixie Chicks.
Tickets are $15, available at the door. Opening act is Brother Music Sister Rhythm. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., music starts at 7 p.m.

From all of us at ThinkAtheist.com, thank you for the add! Don't forget to stop by the site and check us out, and that membership is free. We hope to see you there!
Thanks,
Think Atheist
