My training this past weekend for the 2009 Tour de Cullman consisted of traveling to Nashville to attend the 30th Anniversary Reunion show for The White Animals.
Anyone who attended a college or university in the South during the 80's remembers the band. To me their music captures the feeling of those old daze. During most of the show I had flashbacks of Lee's Tomb and them playing to a packed house with a line outside waiting two blocks long.
I love the Don Henley lyric, something about a "Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac". There was a lot of grey hair in the crowd and nobody pounded those long neck beers quite like they did 20 years ago. The show was a way to go back in time for a night and relive a few thoughts. Several people brought their teenagers, including myself. Pretty cool to share something across a generation.

Nice comment Runonce, back to music and sport...Hes the grey headed guy in the middle singing. Maybe you can make the next show or ride!
...smells like moth balls in here.
I think that's camphor.
When and where does the Tour of Cullman begin?
Email me and I will send the logistics to you. It departs and arrives at my house. I would be glad to send you directions.
