I found an old post of mine in a thread about the trashiest thing we’ve ever seen, but it works for Americana, too. > [@The trashiest thing you have ever seen](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-trashiest-thing-you-have-ever-seen/576038/10): > > In Reno, Nevada, in the midst of a huge biker rally was an outdoor concert stage; an elderly African-American man in suit and tie worked the crowd selling LEDs that would make your mouth light up from the inside while a band called the Saddle Tramps, including a size-14 blonde named Suzie Switchblade dancing on the stage in lingerie and cowboy boots, played a rousing rendition of “Cindy Brady Had My Baby”.
