Hey pallies, likes one of the fascinatin' thin's 'bout usin' the google blog engine for searchin' for Dino-devotion is that sometimes, somehow what one might consider buried Dino-treasure gets uncovered to our total total Dino-delight!

In his brief remarks, Mr. Malchow shares how simply listenin' to the Dino-croon of "Houston" on the radio "turned me over to a Dean Martin lover."  Likes, how absolutely awesome is that dudes?!?!?!?!   We are thoroughly thrilled to find   'nother of today's up and comin' youth gettin' sold out to our most beloved Dino and sharin' his Dino-testimony with the world!

BY JOE MALCHOW ON NOVEMBER 8, 2007

For no good reason at all, here is the song that, randomly pouring out of the Sirius standards and swing channel four years ago, turned me over to a Dean Martin lover. It’s “Houston,” a Lee Hazlewood tune about a fellow who finds himself in a strange city with “no one who calls him friend” and “holes in both of his shoes.” (Do not fret for the man: he has a girl waitin’ home for him—or, at least she said she’d be.)

 Hazlewood was more of a producer than a songwriter, but one other famous work of his is “These Boots Are Made For Walking,” which achieved tremendous success after he instructed Nancy Sinatra to sing it “like a 16-year old girl who f***s truck drivers.” But “Houston” is a pretty song, with no such wretchedness.

As a bonus, in the extended entry enjoy an earlier television performance Deano gave of “Houston.”
