Post a picture... any picture

A little bit of music history in the college football arena. This morning, I saw this story in the AJC. I did not know about James Brown and the original record. I grew up with Georgia Tech in my head, and all I can say are the first words I learned about UGA:

. . . . . . "To H e l l with Georgia" . . . . . .

The incredible quest to make ‘Kirby’s Junkyard Dawgs’
“Kirby’s Junkyard Dawgs” is now available for download for a nominal fee on iTunes or for free on kirbysjunkyarddawgs.net. It’s hot off the presses, as they say.



Georgia fans certainly will recognize the chorus. The melody of “Kirby’s Junkyard Dawgs” remains very much the same as the song that has been known as “Dooley’s Junkyard Dogs” for 47 years. It was recorded by the late, great James Brown in 1975 and has been played at Georgia tailgates ever since.


Dooley’s junkyard dogs; Dooley’s junkyard dogs. They’ll hit ya, they’ll knock ya, they’ll haul right off and sock ya.

James Brown was a huge Georgia Bulldogs fan. Not only did Brown agree to do it, he said he’d pay for all the studio and distribution costs and include it on his next album.

Weeks later, “Dooley’s Junkyard Dogs” was born in 1975. Brown would perform the tune live before Georgia fans twice, once Oct. 22, 1977, during halftime of the Kentucky game at Sanford Stadium – with Prince Charles in attendance – and again two weeks later in Jacksonville, Fla., when the Bulldogs played Florida.

. . . . . . "To H e l l with Georgia" . . . . . .

Damn, I never thought I could use my hood and roof too.

This is great, it's like I can view a Facebook feed without actually being on Facebook.

Or you're carrying narcotics at a large drug rehab group meeting. Then it's a bad, bad omen.

Another interesting bit of info/history: From TastingTable.com


If you thought that nothing good could come from a pig's rear end, you'd be dead wrong. In honor of 10 years of innovation and its very first "Best Rye" award, WhistlePig Distillery is releasing a limited-edition straight rye whiskey — and it's been given unique packaging.

In a press release sent to Tasting Table, Whistlepig says its limited edition PiggyBank Rye will come in a replica Berkshire Bitter Pig decanter that serves its whiskey up from the pig's backside. Peachridge Glass reports that the Berkshire Bitter Pig was a marketing tool used in the late 1800s. The bottles were often made by Amann & Co. of Cincinnati, which at the time was referred to as "Porkopolis" due to its abundance of pork-producing slaughterhouses. With business booming in the region, pigs became a sign of prosperity for the region. And, they also happened to be fed a primary diet of corn, which is one of the key ingredients in whiskey.

WhistlePig might be based in Vermont (@mhardy6647 territory) instead of Cincinnati, but that didn't stop the company from taking some porcine inspiration to mark its milestones.



The PiggyBank Rye is a celebration of this legacy of innovation: It's a 10-year-old straight rye whiskey that is bottled at 110 proof and available at premium liquor stores throughout the U.S. for $199.99.

WhistlePig says they also bottled a very special 20-year-old whiskey in an original 19th century Berkshire Pig decanter and auctioned it off to benefit charity. Its auction lot closed at a winning bid of $125,000 from Rally 2 Give and included the opportunity to custom finish a barrel of 20-year whiskey at WhistlePig's experimental aging warehouse. All proceeds from the auction went to benefit the Gumball 3000 Foundation.
