ReplyDeleteRural Free Delivery (RFD):
ReplyDeleteA historical program of the United States Postal Service that began in 1896 to deliver mail directly to rural farm families.
:o)
free government delivery of mail? or Rate of Force Development? or Release the File, Dummy!
ReplyDeleteThank 'ee both! It's a great title, or name for a country rock band (when spelled out). Shame it's such a feeble piss-drip of an album. It's this type of pretty-boy crap that got Rick(y) Nelson a bad rap. And made the Beatles sound so great.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's an early critique of certain American President or any world leaders. It could stand for "Really Fucking Dumb". Though I know it's to do with the mail service, you never know. Where I come from, Manchester, UK, a Tab Hunter is someone who searches for half smoked cigarettes dropped on the floor. Though there is a chap in some towns that fine you for dropping such things.
ReplyDeleteremembering tab's story RFD probably meant remove frilly drawers
ReplyDelete....woody
the picture on the back with Grady Martin is pretty great
ReplyDeleteBack in the day the local lasses swooned over my old man's resemblance to Tab, or so I'm told.
ReplyDeleteI image Grady Martin (whoever he is (no i'm not going to look it up)) is quite thrilled to be babysitting pretty-boy Tab.
ReplyDeleteEjumacate yerself, why doncha huh? Grady Martin was the geetar man. Major, major talent.
