This is a great mix! Starting off with the Dead Kennedys was the right thing to do. I figured you someone would be bound to start or end with The Gambler. I have some memory of this song from early childhood. Maybe an uncle sang this to me, maybe it was on when something traumatizing was happening, so it stuck. The other highlights, for me, were the Gram Parsons song, Ohh Las Vegas. I like Parsons stuff, especially the Flying Burrito Bros. records, but this had someone escaped me. Also, The Drive-By Truckers. I thought they were bullshit. I was wrong.

Roll them dice!
