How uncool is Dr. Weevil? Looking over Eric Olsen's latest list of Cool Tunes, I found that:

1. I only recognized the names of two of the thirty artists listed, and that's two more than on his last list.
2. There is only one (Steve Earle) whose album(s) I have ever owned or ever considered owning.
3. I'm fairly certain that I have never heard any of the songs listed. (Maybe I should tune in next week.)

On the other hand, of the list of 203 Worst Country Song Titles! (link from No Watermelons Allowed), I have heard at least 30, like at least 25, and own at least 20. (Exact numbers are difficult to calculate, since most of my CDs are in a rented storeroom in Ohio.) Many of the others look like jokes, possibly written down but never commercially recorded.

I can also add some missing titles, for instance:

1. "Another Man Loved Me Last Night" (Loretta Lynn)
2. "Bedsprings And Wedding Rings (Don't Mix)" (Rudi Protrudi)

All this without even considering the Austin Lounge Lizards . . .
