Just in time for the Fourth of July, here’s the third installment of The Big Ass Happy Family Jubilee. But before I get started, if you live in Southern California get to out to see Roger Alan Wade this Friday, July 3rd, at Barnacles Sports Bar in Mentone, CA, or at the Hootenanny in Orange County, CA, at Oak Canyon Ranch on July 4th. He goes on to Main Stage B at 1:30pm. Then on Sunday, July 5th, he will be in Fresno at Audie’s Olympic Club. I will definitely be at Hootenanny and I am contemplating hitting one or both of the other shows, so I hope to see you there. (more…)

This song portrays fatherhood from the perspective of a twenty-something year old Waylon Jennings nut who loves his daughters dearly. I wrote this song when I was young and over the years it has taken its own design. All the main characters in the song remain happy and healthy and beautiful. I’m so proud of my girls. They are loving life, chasing dreams, and raising amazing families. Shandy, Jessica, and Cheyenne are the best things in my life. I love being their father. —Roger Alan Wade (more…)

So every time Eddie Barbanell and I are together we end up singing Roger Alan Wade songs non-stop. If there is any quiet time whatsoever (and believe me there is not), Eddie will launch into “Fryin’ Bacon Nekkid,” “Butt-Ugly Slut,” or like in the the video you are about to see “D-R-U-N-K.” Eddie adores Roger, but not half as much as Roger adores him. They have become big buddies, so we only thought it natural that Eddie and Roger appear in a video together. Here is the first of hopefully many collaborations between Eddie Barbanell and my cousin Roger Alan Wade. A-a-a-and action!

Sincerely,

Knoxville (more…)

Here is another show installment of the me and my cousin Roger Alan Wade’s radio show on Sirius/XM called The Big Ass Happy Family Jubilee. You get to hear about all the characters that worked for my father at his tire company, people like Big Sam, Big George, and Woodrow Wilson “Boxcar” Johnson Jr. You will also be treated (or exposed may be a better word) to a little segment we call “Joke-Time”. And then my cousin picks and sings a little from his album Stoned Traveler on a song called “10,000 Candles”. For the last show in this installment we get into the intellectual discussion of comparing my balls to Mr. Bob Dylan’s balls and as everyone knows ol’ Bobbie has got me beat in that department by a country mile. Anyway, tune into our show The Big Ass Happy Family Jubilee on the Outlaw Country channel on Saturday nights at 8:00pm Eastern and 5:00pm Specific. By the way, Outlaw Country is on channel 12 on XM and 63 on Sirius. Woohoo!!!!

See you there,
Knox (more…)

Here is an email my cousin Roger Alan Wade sent me about my older sister Lynne (Lynnerd). She used to sing with Rog many years ago, but gave it up to raise a family. During her time performing with Rog, her big mouth, bad temper, and refusal to take any shit from anybody got him in a lot of fights. She is barely 5′ 2″ and a grandmother now, but as you can see from Rog’s email not much has changed. Heh heh… Anyway, the below pic was taken back in the mid ’80s when Lynne was singing with Rog’. That’s obviously her on the left and Rog is smack dab in the middle. About the photo, Rog says he “looks like an Alabama farmer at a Chippewa circle jerk.” Ha ha ha, and I thought the flannel was sweet!! Wahoo!!

Sincerely,

Lynne’s little brother P.J. (Knoxville) (more…)

So me and my cousin Roger Alan Wade got us a radio show on Sirius/XM’s Outlaw channel called The Big Ass Happy Family Jubilee. We play a bunch of our country favorites and talk a whole lot of shit. Usually we have a theme or do a tribute to someone on every show. Some of the themes we have done include: “songs about doin’ it,” “murder ballads,” “great country crooners with large tools,” and “some people we wished were married but weren’t; The Big Ass Happy Family Jubilee salutes George and Cleopatra Jones.” That one was by far our longest theme. Heh heh… (more…)

I had a good friend pass away yesterday. Poodie Locke, Willie Nelson’s stage manager for 34 years, died of a heart attack Wednesday in Briarcliff, Texas. I kept this photo of me and him by my bed up until I moved into our new house. He used to laugh and tell people, “Knoxville keeps a picture of me next to his nightstand.” It was true. He was a tequila swiggin’ big, round, bear of a man and he was as sweet as they come. Poodie was just funny as all hell, too, and the best dancer I ever saw. My cousin Roger Alan Wade and I once had him on our radio show, The Big Ass Happy Family Jubilee, and you can listen to that below. (more…)

When it comes to the history of jackass segment titles, “Unicycle Poo Barf” stands head and shaft above them all. Okay, the “Butt Bead Ass Kite” from jackass 2.5 is a strong contender, but I’ll disqualify it from this competition on the grounds that it went straight to the Interweb and DVD and was never shown on basic cable television. No, wait, that’s not true. An edited version of jackass 2.5 did in fact air on Comedy Central. Well, fuck, whatever. The fact remains “Unicycle Poo Barf” was first and I’m pleased as peach punch to unlock it from storage after all these years. (more…)

1. “The Knife Song,” by Milk

One time a girl asked me, “Where can I get copy of Tremaine’s song?” I had no clue what she was talking about. She told me Jeff Tremaine was in a band called Milk with Dirt magazine alumnus Andy Jenkins and Mark Lewman, and the song was “awesome.” I remember listening to the song and not being able to tell that it was Jeff singing. I have trouble determining that’s my Jeff on vocals even now. His singing voice is so different from his shouting/spitting one. Anyway, that girl was right about one thing: the song is awesome.

2. “The Party Boy Theme,” by Dave Roen

This is kinda like hearing the Jaws theme. Once I hear that menacing John Williams composition I know someone is going to get devoured by a shark, and when I hear the Party Boy theme, I know somebody is about to get cummed on. And I just hope that somebody ain’t me.

3. “Made in Japan,” by Buck Owens
Click here to listen to Buck Owens, “Made in Japan” at Rhapsody.com

I love Buck Owens and I rove Japan. I played this song constantly while we were filming in Tokyo and I play it every time I have been lucky enough to go back. Great, great song and even greater country.

4. “If You’re Gonna Be Dumb,” by Roger Alan Wade

Amongst the cast and crew this song supplanted “Corona” as kinda the unofficial theme song of jackass. It captures the whole spirit of what we do, and that’s kinda funny cuz my cousin Roger Alan Wade was writing it about himself. (more…)
