Walking into a bar in rural Mississippi can be an unnerving experience. But Jon Hatchett got a good song out of it. Andrew Duhon s inspiration for a new song written just minutes before he played it was inspired a bucket. It s about a man who thinks he has it all, described in the chorus as a "5 Gallon Captaincy." Jon Hatchett picks up the challenge and debuts a song he also wrote just today, about the upside of drinking heavily, which turns out to a potential country classic called You Can t Regret What You Can t Remember. Joe Toman is two thirds through a 52 week challenge of trying to remember what happened in bar last night. The results of his weekly bar room adventures with local drinkers is enshrined in a weekly column and soon to be collected as a book. Meghan Harwell met her husband in high school, not in rural Louisiana but in rural Louisiana. But they didn t start dating till they ran into each other on Canal Street in New Orleans 4 years ago. Back in high school he didn t but now he looks like Jeff Goldblum. And like Goldblum s characters in Jurassic Park and, apparently, Independence Day, Goldblum lookalike is saving the world from disease.
