My Eigthteenth Follower

Welcome Pamela my 18th follower.  I am reminded of a song I heard Gillian Welch sing once called 18 Dogs.
I have known Pamela through some of my "doomer" forums.  She always has something cleaver to say and reminds me a little of Gillian Welch and Oh Brother Where Art Thou.  18 Dogs was written by Hank Dogs and this YouTube was the only one I could find today.  The song is worthy no matter who sings it and the message is clear.  Pamela is an Outsider Artist and you can see some of her work here.


18 Dogs
Poor little house in the country
18 dogs and an M-16 for company
Those cowboys coming over the horizon
They’ll be looking for some hospitality

Come on in, boys, the door is wide open
But I warn you my dogs are born to win
I’ll take the greatest of pleasure
In watching you torn limb from limb

There’s rumors starting down in the village
Those cowboys haven’t been heard of since the day
But if anybody comes ’round asking questions
Well, I’ve got it worked out what I’m gonna say

Come on in, boys, the door is wide open
But I warn you my dogs are born to win
I’ll take the greatest of pleasure
In watching you torn limb from limb

Poor little house in the country
18 dogs and an M-16 for company
Those cowboys coming over the horizon
They’ll be looking for some hospitality

Come on in, boys, the door is wide open
But I warn you my dogs are born to win
I’ll take the greatest of pleasure
In watching you torn limb from limb

Yes, I’ll take the greatest of pleasure
In watching you torn limb from limb
