Stevie Ray Vaughan Manifesto

We are roasting in Texas.

I drove to Austin and back today for work. The grass and trees are not just brown; they are burnt. To a crisp.

We need rain.

Let's all play Stevie Ray Vaughan's classic "Texas Flood" album on Saturday, August 27.

What's the worst that can happen? We all enjoy Stevie.

What could happen (on the 21st anniversary of his tragic early death)? Perhaps we could bring about a flood down in Texas.

Listen to the album, or at least the song, if you:

• Care about Texas
• Care about anyone who cares about Texas
• Have ever lived in Texas
• Know anyone who has ever lived in Texas
• Have ever heard of Texas

Bring on the rain. Bring on Stevie.

Love. Peace.
