Drinking With Strangers – The print version of Butch Walker

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Nov 13th, 2011 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Regular readers know that I am a big Butch Walker fan. So it did not take me long to ante up for his first book, Drinking With Strangers. It’s insightful, occasionally touching, but mostly it’s just damn funny. We learn how a hair metal band can sign a $400,000 contract yet still be essentially living […]

It’s always fun to peruse the Musings logs. It’s interesting to see how folks find the blog, where they come from, and what they read. Some of the most interesting log stats are the data on organizations that visit.
