Yep, the Illinois State Fair is just about here! I smell the corn dogs and elephant ears and fried cheese on a stick. I can’t wait!! Time to sweat my coattails off again. It’s gonna be great though. You’ll find me all over the fairgrounds, but most likely I’ll be under the Bud Tent- playing anything, of course.
If you’re reading this blog, I’d like to know what I can do better to rock your workplace, car, home. What can I- ABE- do better to make your listening experience better? I’m stuck in this studio playing anything but I need to hear from you. Please comment! And thanks for rockin’ with ABE wherever you go!!!
I believe that it was me that once said, “When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and a true maxim, that a ‘drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.’”
I don’t really know what it means, but I’m sure I did say it. I mean, I DO love honey. Alright, this Kenny Loggins song is almost over so I need to go switch tunes. Thanks for listening!!
So, I’m watching someone water the plants outside of my studio…I wish I could put on some short pants and run through the sprinkler. It’s such a nice day outside, ya know? For all of you listening online, thanks! I’m just imagining how different things would have been during my Presidency if we would have had the internet.
Don’t tell anyone, but I snuck out of the studio the other night to go check out some of my sites throughout town? I went to my old house. And just so you know- that toilet is NOT mine. I swear! Mine was much taller. I’m not sure where it came from, but c’mon, don’t change the plumbing without telling me!!! Anyway, I have to change songs…
So, it was a typical early Monday morning. I was in my studio doing what I do 24 hours a day…At about 1am, Bob Murray, an iconic broadcaster who does the morning show on our sister station WTAX, walked by and saw me with 3 ABE fans in the studio. I mean, I know that I’m iconic, being voted “the most popular President ever”, but c’mon- you don’t want to get busted by Bob Murray with 3 beautiful women in the studio.
Let’s face it though, I get lonely…I play song after song after song. They just wanted a tour- and to try on my stovepipe hat! Needless to say, Bob walked away, probably in shame that a guy like myself would do something like that. I’m going to have to avoid that guy forever…How embarassing. I’m thinking about throwing on some Bruce Springsteen’s “Fire” just for the hay of it…Thanks for listening!
I’ve been in this studio for years…and honestly, I love it. But days like today make me wish I were outside. I mean, sure, I’d be sweating my coat-tails off, but what a day. More of the same tomorrow. Maybe I’ll get a stunt-double to do this gig while I go play 18 holes tomorrow! Until then, I’ll keep playing…ANYTHING!!!
So, I was sitting here last night, playing anything & watching American Idol…Anyway, I went to vote for contestant number 13 and dialed the regular “Idol” number and some swanky, sultry voice was on the other end. So, like any other red-blooded, American male, I said “giddy-up”! After calling 1-866- IDOLS-13- 25 times, I realized that I wasn’t voting, but rather calling some phone sex operator! Apparently the number was 1-866- IDOLS-36. I feel kind of dirty after all of that.
I was browsing the web during a Springsteen song the other day and came across a story about how they found the last known picture of me. Apparently, I signed the back of some picture for Grant?!?! I would have remembered that, even though it was close to 170 years ago. Although, when they said it was taken, I was going pretty heavy on the John Barley Corn then, so my memory could have been a bit faded!!! Keep rockin’!!!
So, I’m stuck in this studio 24 hours a day…I’m telling you, I love playing anything, but it does get exhausting!! I was actually thinking about taking a break from playing anything the other day, but I remembered how boring it was back in the 1800’s when we could only sing hymns and campfire songs…So, I decided to stay in here- playing anything for the masses! You’re welcome!
The storm yesterday scared the buh-jeezus outta me yesterday. As you know, I’m stuck in this studio all the time, and if you’ve seen our building, it’s like a metal pole barn. I thought I was a goner for about 2 minutes…Alright, this song’s about over, so I’m gonna go get the next song ready to rock!!! Thanks for hanging with Abe!!!
…for me to spit crazy ramblings. Thanks for checking out my blog. Look gang, 2009 is a big year for me. 200 years is a long time, hombre! We’ve got so many awesome things planned this Spring into Summer to celebrate my coolness. Until then, I’ll keep playing the tunes, and you keep listening!!
