Slandered! Libeled! R10:

Gee, but it’s great to be back...here at the RBR Random 10. It’s been a helluva hard week for this old boy — with the notable exception of losing my voice at BDS Saturday — and I’m extra thankful to arrive at another Friday, free-fallin’ into the weekend like a boss. Y’all know how much I love it when you put your own song selection in the comment section, but if you can’t muster it up, just kick back and peruse what we leave on the table. After all, I’m not looking for fortune or fame here — just tryin’ to keep my customers satisfied. Satisfied...
