Looking to stock up on artist memorabilia? This Web site for the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation is the place. There are all kinds of tickets, passes, autographed CDs and posters and so on. But what I love the most is when artists donate their own clothes. So Alan Jackson’s given up his Wranglers, Keith Anderson has taken off his “Bigger Is Better” T-shirt, Reba McEntire has donated a skirt and Keith Urban has turned over his R.M. Williams jeans (those seem to be the Australian Wranglers, although they are certainly on the high end with a retail price tag right around $125 in Australian dollars). The money raised in this auction will go to Porter’s Call, a Tennessee organization that offers free counseling, support and encouragement to recording artists and their families. Bid now because the auction ends Sept. 30.

Thought I’d look back to our fore-fathers for this week’s Monday Morning Mania.  

“In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress.”

“Common looking people are the best in the world; that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.”

George Strait was honored by the Acadmy of Country Music in April 2009 and all these folks showed up to show their love for The KING of Country Music.   (I was there to show my love too!  Unbelievable show!) 

Note:  Do you think the photgrapher told them all to reach over and touch the person next to them?
