Big horns = big rock and roll

I’ll spill my guts now – I’m a sucker for the big horn section rock and funk groups of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Blood Sweat and Tears, Chicago Transit Authority (not that schmaltzy Peter Cetera crap that Chicago became in the late 70’s and 80’s), Tower of Power (even if one of their number founded BALCO)

Whoda thunk, though, that a member of KISS would get the attraction too?

and for the original . . .

Takes some of the weirdness off the case of the patriotic crapper . . .

Another entry in the “I kid you not” department . . .

and quite possibly at the same convenience store where Stiletto had her ‘night of the zombie doughnut’ moment just over a year ago (or was it two?).

I was driving back from taking a relative to the ophthalmologist today, and stopped at said convenience store (Interstate 81, Va. exit 14) to relive myself and buy a soda. After entering the men’s room and flipping on the light switch, I was greeted by an approximately 20″ by 20″ placard above the crapper, announcing “God Bless America”  and displaying a wind-furled American flag.

The only thing missing was Kate Smith, which may have been a good thing seeing that it was the men’s room and that I’ve never quite thought of Kate Smith as a public restroom-trolling whore.

Maybe it was a sign (metaphysically or spiritually speaking) or merely appropriate commentary on the current election season.

Stiletto: I didn’t see a Krispy Kreme case here, but that could be because the Bristol, Va. Krispy Kreme closed back in 2002.
