Happy pledge week, everybody!

This morning, I dug through the Mystery Train archives and brought out my entire collection of songs about beatdowns, accidents and grievous personal injury.

And, I had help - "Footloose" director Craig Brewer came in to hang out, give away signed posters and play his favorite fight songs.
