Hope you joined us this week for the third entry of our "Downward Spiral" Trilogy.

The White Trash Revue offered music for and about the targeted demographic.
Songs of infidelity, crushing poverty, alcoholism, drug abuse, guns, & willful ignorance.
In white-trash-ese that's sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Wooo-hooo!!!

+ 1973 = best yr for trashy music in a while!

After 3 weeks locked in a tight downward spiral, where do we go from here? Well, it will either be UP - to the college level with "My English Major" - smart, hippie, indie folk, rock, or power pop with a touch of pretense. Or even further down with "the White Trash Revue"-Part Two. Your Choice!

In this episode of Le Chateau Daddy-O, we presented for your listenin' pleasure, "Trailer Park Tunes". the Down to Earth music that is so popular with today's "downwardly mobile". Mo-bile being the key here.

We explored the "Big 5" in trailer park pastimes. In no particular order they are, 1. Fast, Loose Girls, 2. Cheatin', 3. Gettin' Knocked Up, 4. Being Lazy, & 5. Gettin' Killed.

A little somethin' for ever one.
