C'mon, BroGuv...why do you play in a band but won't dance?!
Oof, nevermind...I just had this horrible vision of Janet Hanke-ing her hips to "Green Onions." Made me spit my cola all over my monitor...
*no disrespect to Booker T. and the MGs intended.

If the attraction is Huck's band, they'll be lucky to raise $50.

If Huck is the nominee and Jeb Bush gets the VP nomination, the band will need to play an arrangement of "Here We Go Round the Huckleberry-Bush".
Now how would those lyrics go?

With all due respect, I saw Huck's band when they opened for Willie a couple of years ago, and they aren't that terrible. Not great, but not terrible.
On the serious side, who is paying the freight for their travel expenses, hotel rooms, food, etc.?
