Ha! I happened to have that exact video going! They're good.
One of the guys I work with is into current rock music (I'm frozen in the past-classic rock) and there is a band from TX he really likes. Is Government Mule from Texas? If not, I can't remember the name of the band right now.

I was digging around youtube because I thought that "beautifully broken" was by the Toadies and found out that the Toadies have a song (Possum King) on guitar heros II. That's the bigtime....and come to find out I'm familiar with the song.

ok here is the history behind possum kingdom
This song has had its fair share of controversy as to the meaning of the song. The top theories of what the song means seem to be that it is about a vampire, the Zodiac Killer, an odd sexual encounter or a man who experiences a botched attempt at seducing a woman. In a 1995 interview by Jennifer Clay, bassist Lisa Umbarger and guitarist Todd Lewis gave these statements about the song:
Umbarger said, "They're just these silly stories he's (Todd) heard his family tell. Like 'Tyler' and 'Possum Kingdom' are just like stories...In Texas, there's just this big storytelling thing - whenever your family gets together, they sit and talk and tell all these stories. 'Possum Kingdom' is a ghost story."
Lewis said jokingly "Possum Kingdom is a lake. One of the ten best fishin' spots in the U.S. Is it about a ghost or vampire at the lake? I don't know."
"It's not about vampires," Umbarger insists. "Even though we have a big underground vampire following in Florida. They come with their teeth and everything. I'm not lying about that, that's a real story. They'll show up and you'll be talking to someone, and they'll smile and it's like, 'Jesus Christ! You've got fangs!' And they're like, 'Yeah. It's a vampire thing.' So we have this big vampire underground following, and 'Possum Kingdom' has kind of stirred it up."
"It's just a story I heard long ago; it's just a really cool, eerie lake, and some stuff I heard and some stuff I just make up. I tend to do that," Lewis explains about the watering hole where his family used to hang out and barbecue. "They dammed up this big river up there, and it's got all these spooky names like Hell's Gate. It's really cool."
possum kingdom is around the Austin area |

Wow, cool story. Thanks!
I'm not sure if I've ever been to Texas, but it sounds like there's some crazy shit going on down there.
A couple of years ago I read an account of a guy who grew up near the Texas/Mexico border in Texas and some of the wild boar hunts gone wrong....scary.
