I always enjoy these “Ask Me Anything” columns. I thought I was the only guy in NY who routinely looked at Roadside America before long drives! And yes, when WFT peeled off the helmet stripes it was the beginning of the end. At least they didn’t embrace the “colored shoulder pad” look (see USFL Maulers & Showboats; XFL Roughnecks; NFL Cardinals, etc.) Thank you Paul.

Hi Paul,

Speaking of Spade Cooley, here's a link to a video by an artist named Tom Russell. He did an interesting song/video about the Bakersfield Sound of the mid fifties/early sixties, and mentions Spade Cooley, and includes a clip of one of his performances. The song has an interesting melancholy, old country vibe. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT17tiLLJ7k
