The Prickly Texan

The Prickly Texan I'm prickly and I'm Texan.

A long time ago, I had a radio show called “Burning Daylight” on KYCX 104.9 FM in Mexia, Texas. Well, 28 years ago today, I called then Texas Governor George W. Bush to wish him a Happy Texas Independence Day. He reciprocated. Happy Texas Independence Day, ya’ll! -Robert Johnson

Shoot low, Sheriff, it’s Pinzgauer Karaoke. Join me in my 1977 Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer 712K for some half-assed singing of Turnpike Troubadours’ “Long Hot Summer Day.” Watch as I fumble the paper with the lyrics, miss nearly a whole verse, run a stop sign in the beautiful Texas Hill Country and more. We did this in one take, because that’s how we decided to do it. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. Much obliged to my beautiful camera lady, Esmeralda. She wasn’t happy with the video I took of her, so it got cut. That’s how that works, boys and girls. Click the link in bio for my YouTube channel, The Prickly Texan. It features songs I can almost sing, by musicians I very much enjoy. Low on quality, rich in embarrassment.

No, we’re not little kids, and no, I don’t know anything about this movie. BUT, I know Austin is one of only two cities hosting this thing (the other is NYC) and she wanted to go. So we went. Think goblins and a shroomed-out Santa in a cemetery.

The last picture was taken by Deneen. She came up to us and insisted she take our photo because we were “too pretty” to be taking our own. She was very friendly, and we all got a kick out of her effort.

Wedding numero tres, and counting. Forget the food, the flowers, the DJ, the venue. Having this woman on my arm is the only thing that matters.
