Song of the day: "Depression River"

BPA016-6.jpg

Granted, this song by Leeroy Stagger—is that his real name? Who names their kid Leeroy?—isn't really about depression. Well, it's about Depression, but not the kind of depression we love around here. Nonetheless, I like the song, even if it does sound like Lynard Skynard had a baby with the Allman Brothers and named him ... Leeroy.

This is a good shot of Stagger (that sounds like a drink, right? "Barkeep, I'll have a shot of Stagger"). I like the photo because he's wearing a Who T-shirt in it, and I love the Who.
