 &lt;p&gt;Well, at least we don't have little messages before the late news saying "It's 10 p.m. Do you know where your cats and dogs are?"&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yet&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every damn week for the last nine years or so, whenever I'm confronted with writing another little missive for another episode of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;3 Chords &amp;amp; the Truth&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, I have to think of something to say amid the crazy. And You Know Who has prompted the fruitiest of the Fruit Loops in America today.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, it's &lt;em&gt;"They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs." &lt;/em&gt;You Know Who floated that bit of crazy during the presidential debate, no less.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What in the &lt;em&gt;Wide World of Sports&lt;/em&gt; is your average, marginally sane person supposed to do with &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; level of bat shit?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To maintain &lt;em&gt;my&lt;/em&gt; marginal level of sanity, I make merciless fun of it. So we're breaking a bubbling-under the Top 40 future smash hit on &lt;strong&gt;the &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Big Show&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; this week. It, unsurprisingly, is from that unfathomably popular group, The DJT Music Explosion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They're exploding &lt;em&gt;something&lt;/em&gt;, all right.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let's just hope it doesn't end up being the United States of America.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That said, insert the usual description of the awesomeness of this week's show, because that generally doesn't change a whit.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's &lt;em&gt;3 Chords &amp;amp; the Truth&lt;/em&gt;, y'all. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Be there.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Aloha.&lt;/p&gt;

Well, at least we don't have little messages before the late news saying "It's 10 p.m. Do you know where your cats and dogs are?"Yet.Every damn week for the last nine years or so, whenever I'm confronted with writing another little missive for another episode of 3 Chords &amp; the Truth, I have to think of something to say amid the crazy. And You Know Who has prompted the fruitiest of the Fruit Loops in America today.Now, it's "They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs." You Know Who floated that bit of crazy during the presidential debate, no less.What in the Wide World of Sports is your average, marginally sane person supposed to do with that level of bat shit?To maintain my marginal level of sanity, I make merciless fun of it. So we're breaking a bubbling-under the Top 40 future smash hit on the Big Show this week. It, unsurprisingly, is from that unfathomably popular group, The DJT Music Explosion.They're exploding something, all right.Let's just hope it doesn't end up being the United States of America.That said, insert the usual description of the awesomeness of this week's show, because that generally doesn't change a whit.It's 3 Chords &amp; the Truth, y'all.

Episode 180: 3 Chords & the Truth: If you can't laugh. . . .

 &lt;p&gt;It's good to be here in Sioux City; my best fans are here in the city of the Siouxes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;What? Oh.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As I was saying, I love Omaha. Omaha is, they tell me, an Indian word for the land of the Omahs. And apparently they laughed a lot . . . they laughed a lot. But not like Comrade Kamabala Biden, who should not laugh ever again. &lt;em&gt;So annoying.&lt;/em&gt; So annoying.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And how about that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;3 Chords &amp;amp; the Truth &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;on the computer machine . . . or on your smartphone? Great music on the show, but a very poor host -- very biased. And what is a Mighty Foovog?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mighty Foovog. It sounds like something I caught when I was going through my own personal Vietnam in the '70s; it took two or three Shots in the Ass -- I had a very good doctor then, very quick to give you an Ass Shot. His Ass Shots didn't hurt as much as they could have . . . Ass Shots can be so painful, &lt;em&gt;so painful.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BUT THE&lt;/strong&gt; Shots in the Ass got me back in the battle. I prefer the battles where if things go bad -- but things don't go bad for me, only if people are being very unfair. Things can go &lt;em&gt;so bad&lt;/em&gt; when the fake news and all the haters are being so unfair. I preferred the Vietnam where you sometimes had to get a Shot in the Ass instead of getting shot in the face. Or getting shot in the chest.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both very bad. I don't understand why you'd want to volunteer to get shot in the face. Faces are very important. I saw a guy once try to eat a hamburder without a face -- he didn't have the face . . . can hamburders have a face? That's a question for some of the great minds in this country to work on. Very big Question.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He couldn't eat the Mickey D's because if you don't have a face, you don't have a mouth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now that thing they call &lt;strong&gt;the &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Big Show &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;would be a lot better if that very unfair host didn't have a mouth. Just play the music and keep quiet -- &lt;em&gt;shut up and spin the tunes, I say.&lt;/em&gt; But he has some great music on there if you can get past his Being a Communist. &lt;em&gt;Very biased, very unfair.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I LIKE&lt;/strong&gt; music. Music is good to play when you're doing battle in your own personal Vietnam.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Did you ever notice that they generally play very poor music in the doctor's office when you're in there for a Shot in the Ass? &lt;em&gt;Very poor music. &lt;/em&gt;But what can you expect from all the Commie Musicians out there?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You've been a very wonderful crowd. They're telling me I have to wrap this up because we're running behind schedule, and I have to be in Omaha in a couple of hours. But you just stick around, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;listen to the tunes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Some very excellent tunes today, so I am told.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One more thing, and then I'm ditching this burg. . . .&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's &lt;em&gt;3 Chords &amp;amp; the Truth&lt;/em&gt;, y'all. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Be there. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Aloha.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
