Good morning. 🕊️🕊️🕊️
15 May 2025
Gloom, despair, and agony on me Deep, dark depression, excessive misery If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all Gloom, despair, and agony on me…” — Buck Owens and Roy Clark
This catchy jingle, Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me, has been bouncing around in my head this morning. If you don’t recognize it, it’s a classic tune from the variety show Hee Haw, which aired from 1969 to 1992. I tuned in occasionally, though it was never a favorite of mine—too corny, like a whole show full of grandpa jokes. But this song? Pure genius. A classic, right up there with Bach and Chopin.
"You might be a redneck if you have every episode of Hee Haw on tape." - Jeff Foxworthy

Why yes, yes, I did just visit the Archie Campbell Museum in Bull's Gap, Tennessee. I know you're jealous. #HeeHaw
Gordon
In the realm of music, Gordie Tapp was the first Canadian Gordon who made it big. He was in the country field. Indeed, he was a regular on the country show, Hee Haw. He only had a couple hits because he was more of an entertainer, emcee, broadcaster and writer.
Gordon Lightfoot is the most famous Canadian Gordon musician. With mega hits like Sundown and If You Could Read My Mind, Lightfoot was known world wide and had a huge fan base. Was he folk, country, or rock? No one could really tell but he didn’t need to say, he was just a singer/songwriter that wheedled his way into the hearts and minds of many people.
Gord Deppe is the main songwriter and singer/guitarist for the Canadian rock band The Spoons. They had the hits Nova Heart, Romantic Traffic and Those Old Emotions. He’s also been known to play guitar for Flock of Seagulls.
Gord Downie was the lead singer and lyricist for the Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. He led the band through most of their existence and even put out some of his own solo work. He died tragically in 2017 of terminal brain cancer.
Probably all you non Canadians figure that there must be a lot of Canadian Gordons since so many are successful musicians. But that’s just not true. I’ve lived my whole 57 years in Canada and have just personally known 1 Gordon. He was a teacher of mine.
So this famous Canadian musician thing that the Gordons have is a statistical anomaly.
In the very early nineties, the Canadian rock band the Bare Naked Ladies seemed to be doing everything right. Their shock name got the attention of nearly everyone, they had two lead singers and had an album’s worth of songs including 4 or 5 that were ear worms. All they needed was a good album title and perhaps they could guarantee success.
They decided to play it conservatively and went with the name Gordon, simply based on how popular Canadians named Gordon seemed to be in pop. They contrived themselves into a successful release and the rest is history for the band.

@floridabulldog and what will happen because of it? #heehaw
2,000 years.
We've learned the square root of #heehaw
I can't stop laughing at this. An extra from the set of #HeeHaw who's apparently running for #Congress in #Georgia's 2nd District, completely ignored the #debate question he was asked, recited a pre-written speech sounding like a 3rd grader, and then stormed off the stage and headed back to his #truck. And of course he's a convicted #J6 #insurrectionist. The people of Georgia's 2nd District have some tough choices to make!
Why are #Republicans even bothering to #vote? They're clearly convinced that the #Democrats are going to cheat, and manipulate the results. Given that reality, they might as well just stay home and binge season 3 of #HeeHaw. 😉

(Ignore my announced inner thoughts. I 🍄 & always have to narrate it for myself for later for some reason)
Why are wearing shorts so fucking funny to me😆 I *never* wear them outside of the house. My metal self says a hard no to that. But inside my home: it’s like my comedy version shows up #heehaw
