The World's Largest Potato Masher
PLUS: Aliens, abductions, and the blues

Last week two Wisconsin bluesmen (Reverend Meantooth and Keith Daniel’s Psycho Swamp Stomp Band) rolled into town with dark, swampy songs about death, voodoo, and the devil, plus a fascinating story about a disembodied finger.
Elmwood UFO Days
The 45th annual Elmwood UFO Days is happening next weekend, and this clip from a 1988 CBS report on the event has lived permanently in my head since the first time I saw it.
Watch the full report right here.
Next Week!

Stay tuned.
