Here comes the action Here comes at last Lord give me a reaction Lord give me a chance
You should follow me down In satellite towns There’s no colour and no sound I’ve been ten feet underground
Got to get out of this satellite town
Here comes some action First time in my life I gotta get up to get compensation I gotta get up to get this to light
Whether you live alone Or you’re trying to find your way in this world you better make sure that you don’t crack you’re head on that pavement, man My God! what a shock! It’s been preying on me and mine This is a dangerous place man This is a dangerous place, there’s nothing here.
You should follow your way down In satellite towns There’s no colour and no sound I’ve been ten feet underground
Black and White Town
You should follow me down There’s no colour and no sound In the Black and White Town I’ve been ten feet underground In the Black and White Town
It’s Wednesday, and y’all know what that means–WEEKLY WHISTLE TIME! Woo hoo!
Since we are all about dressing up the basics this week on VIP, I decided to jazz-up a plain-old pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt because who said a t-shirt and jeans have to be ordinary and boring *wink*
The big inspiration for this week’s outfit of the week is a song by Gaslight Anthem called “Blue Jeans and White T-Shirts”. When I stumbled upon the song, I immediately fell in love with it! The rhythm, the lyrics, the title…it is all amazing, amazing, AHmazing! If I ever produce a movie (a girl can dream, right?),”Blue Jeans and White T-Shirts” will definitely be on the soundtrack because it is just that good. Click play on the video below and then check out the awesome photographs from this week’s Weekly Whistle shoot! Enjoy :)
(Below lyrics from “Blue Jeans and White T-Shirts by Gaslight Anthem)
We are the boys from Little Eden We are the heart of Saturday night We drink from the fountains off the fireworks Sweat and bone for a better life
We like our choruses sung together We like our arms in our brothers’ arms Call every girl we ever met Maria But I only love Virginia’s heart
Still we sing with our heroes, 33 rounds per minute We’re never going home until the sun says we’re finished I’ll love you forever if I ever love at all Wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts
Some things baby never told you Some things papa done ain’t right Spent a lifetime just to get over You always said my mama tried
Still we sing with our heroes, 33 rounds per minute We’re never going home until the sun says we’re finished I’ll love you forever if I ever love at all With wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts
So tonight I’ll call you from a 4th Street payphone We’ll sleep on the beach if we ain’t got a ride Someday I’ll buy you that house on Cookman We could sleep on the beach all night
Sleep on the beach if we ain’t got a ride Sleep on the beach all night Sleep on the beach all night Sleep on the beach if we ain’t got a ride

After I published “Broken Bicycles” yesterday, I could not help but reminisce about some of my favorite artistic photo blogs….Want to Buy 97 Farms, Dirt Road Prayer, Got A Gun, and many more! While flashing back, I also discovered that there were a few pictures that did not make it to the blog…so I am going to share those with y’all TODAY on #ThrowbackThursday! Yep, that’s right…never-before-seen photos from some of the VIP’s most famous artistic photo shoots. *wink*
Now, y’all take a look at the following photos while I load another episode of The X-Files on Netflix *wink*
Memorial Day is not just a day for barbecuing and beach tripping…It is a day for remembering our lost soldiers…It is a day for praising our lost soldiers for their bravery to fight…and to die for America. As President Ronald Reagan once said, “I don’t have to tell you how fragile this precious gift of freedom is. Every time we hear, watch, or read the news, we are reminded that liberty is a rare commodity in this world.”
Now, without further ado, please enjoy this artistic photo story + quotes.
Please leave your feedback in the comments box at the end of this blog. Thank you, God bless, and stay safe this Memorial Day!

– Daniel Webster
“The brave never die, though they sleep in dust: Their courage nerves a thousand living men.”
