If you don’t follow this hillbilly now, you should. Kudos to Joe Dan on his fifth anniversary.

NEW Real World Address for Complaints, Brickbats, and Donations
I Return to the Place I was Born
From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

Love this guy! Yes, I said it!
Joe Dan is one lovable good ‘ole boy. This 5th Anniversary episode is pure entertainment,from the beginning right thru to the end of the credits. As always,the soundtrack is a perfect fit;where else would you hear John Carpenter’s theme from “Escape From New York” play so fittingly in the background?
The Branco cartoon is hilarious-he looks like Joe Dan’s Korean cousin, Kim-Jong Gorman.
Would love to see him as WH Press Secretary,even for just one day. The Press Corps would be rendered catatonic.
Wonderful!
Thank you for your ears and eyes and Taste.
I am a long time reader in Melbourne Australia, 1953 Vintage, like you, a lifetime learner.
I can feel your warmth from here.
Love, Ron.
Thanks for the awesome commentary guys
God bless
