Ummmm, yeah!  Here ya go!

If the thought of another voice welcoming you to the State Fair seems a bit like blasphemy, you can show your support for Bill Bragg, the voice of Big Tex, by updating your FB profile pic with this one.  Thanks to the Dallas Observer for that one!

Earlier this week, Anthrax played a show in L.A.  Slash decided to join them onstage and they jammed AC/DC's "T.N.T."

Cases of whiskey were found hidden in the walls and stairwells of a mansion once owned by J.P. Brennan, a coal and coke industrialist.  The whiskey was purchased and stored before Prohibition and were valued to be around $100K.  Fifty-two bottles suddenly went missing!  The mansion's former caretaker has been charged with theft.  More here.

Alice in Chains have named their upcoming album The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here.  You can pick it up on May 14.  AIC kick-off their North American tour on April 25th in Miami Beach and will play Rocklahoma over Memorial Day weekend in Pryor, OK.

Monday night, the Volbeat show om Lubbock didn't quite go as planned.  A fan was denied access to the Lonestar Event Center for having a knife.  Hen then hopped the fence, landed in a restricted area, and attempted to jump over a 20 foot gap.  He didn't make it.  His head struck the concrete when he fell.  More info here, including a statement from Volbeat guitarist Rob Cagggiano's who witnessed the fall.

News abounds on the Foo Fighters right now!  What did we learn from their SXSW appearance?  Many things, including the fact that their new album will be "unconventional."  Foos are being a bit vague, but it seems as if the lack-of-convention will be in both the songs and the recording process.  Dave Grohl seems to walk-his-talk, which means we should expect quite the nice surprise!

We can't all be rock stars, but no matter what line of business you're in, plagiarism is plagiarism.  Let's say you're a welder, wouldn't you be a little annoyed if someone copied your weld and made the signature look almost exactly like yours, but scored cash off your knock-off?  Not sure if Duff was just curious, annoyed, entertained, or angry, but he explains being kicked out of a store full of bootleg merch in Japan in his Seattle Weekly blog.  You can read it here. 

It's one thing to hold the little man down.  It's quite another to hold the little man down in terms of alcohol.  Not that anyone is in the process of trying to outlaw craft beer, but Prohibition showed what happened when you try to get between someone and a cold one!  There's some legislation going down in Austin-town between craft brewers and Big Beer.  Find out more from the Dallas Observer and Texas Craft Brewers Guild.
