Dallas is known for having some of the best strip clubs in the country. So this is to get your weekend fired up and for those of you that believe in supporting single mother’s!

Yet another Dallas talent can be found in the catchy lyrics of Robbie Van Winkle a.k.a. Vanilla Ice.

Ice used to be valet at 2826 back in it’s hey-day and this video was shot in Deep Ellum. Granted the riff was snagged from David Bowie & Queen’s “Under Pressure” and lawsuits ensured, but the song is still devilishly popular in certain segments.

Today’s Song of the Day is by the ever great Concrete Blonde.

Crank it up and enjoy Ghost of a Texas Ladies Man.

We’re starting something new - and it may be daily or it may not, it depends upon yours truly.

Dallas has been the inspiration for some amazing, and sometimes interesting, artists: Stevie Ray Vaughan to Norah Jones to Vanilla Ice. (We could mention Dixie Chicks when they were standing on the corner of Elm & Crowdus playing for coins to be tossed into a hat, but since they are such pompous asses and won’t acknowledge the fact they are from here, we won’t acknowledge them any further).

One of the legends, and the man for whom this generation considers his death as being “the day the music died” is the incomparable Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Check out one of his best songs…Crossfire.
