It’s difficult to explain how awesome this video is, but I’ll try. For one, there’s people — grown men and women, presumably with friends and families — dressed up like American Gladiators contestants.

It isn’t often that a musician is just as well-known for a book he has written as the songs he has recorded. But, in Tommy Womack’s case, that happens to be the story. In 1997, Womack – then a member of the Kentucky-based band Government Cheese – penned his group’s biography titled Cheese Chronicles. Part how-to [...]
