15 July 1975, Cambridge, Massachusetts — Waylon Jennings was born in Littlefield, Texas in 1937 and personified the hard-living honky tonk lifestyle. He played bass with rock-and-roll legend Buddy Holly in the 1950′s, misbehaved with Johnny Cash in the 1960′s, and had dozens of top-ten hits including 1978′s “Mama Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys.” It was as an “Outlaw” that Waylon along with Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser, Billy Joe Shaver and others streamlined arrangements, eschewed cliched lyrics and modernized country music by returning to its soulful roots and mixing in alittle rock-and-roll. — Image by © Henry Horenstein/Corbis

Sounds terrific. I’d love to see this passed here in Boston but for cyclists as well. Boston cyclists are ass-nozzles and break every vehicle law there is.

How did I not know about PAX East? It’s a three day festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers. Those three days would be March 26 - 28, at the Hynes Convention Center. Board game tables, big expo hall of new games, video games, music (even chiptunes by Zen Albatross!) …all in my backyard. $55 for a three–day pass.
