Been a long, busy week: visited a nonprofit Monday for our upcoming holiday guide issue; Tuesday found me at USF listening to Chuck D threaten to kick a cracker's ass; and Wednesday I attempted to drink with Republicans in St. Pete for next week's Bar Tab column.
I spent Thursday and today chained to my desk transcribing interviews, crafting my upcoming Avett Brothers feature, and building that beast Music Week. Yeah, I know, there are tougher ways to make a buck, but I'm spent.
Usually I do my Bar Tab and concert review over the weekend. But not this week. The former has been turned in, and the latter ain't running next issue. So here's a Top 10 that speaks to me laying low — and relaxing with a couple of nice bottles of wine.
Top 10: Songs for staying home
1. "Flowers on the Wall," Statler Brothers
2. "Homeward Bound," Simon and Garfunkel
3. "Take Me Home, Country Roads," John Denver
4. "Longview," Green Day
5. "It's My Lazy Day," Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson
6. "Pictures of Lily," The Who
