Hit Coffee is the story of Will Truman (trumwill), a southern transplant in the mountain west with an IT background who bides his time substitute teaching while his wife brings home the bacon. This site is a collection of reflections on the goings-on in his life and in the world around him. You will probably be relieved to know that he does not generally refer to himself in the third-person except when he's writing short bios on his web page.
Greetings from Callie, Arapaho, a red town in a red state known for growing red meat. And from Redstone, Arapaho (Aw-RAH-pah-hoe), a blue city with blue collar roots that's been feeling blue for quite some time.
Nothing written on this site should be taken as strictly true, though if the author were making it all up rest assured the main character and his life would be a lot less unremarkable.
This website is maintained by Guy Webster (web), who also contributes from time to time. Web hails from the midwest and currently lives in Truman's home city of Colosse, Delosa. He works as a utility IT person at Southern Tech University, their alma mater.
Also contributing is Sheila Tone (stone) a West Coaster, breeder, and lawyer who has probably hooked up with some loser just like you and sees through your whole pathetic little act.
Is it me or has the record industry been more successful than usual at shutting down song-lyric sites?

Why would they do such a thing? Do they actually care about protecting the lyrics? It’s not like people buy a CD to find out what the lyrics are.

Spungen:
Answer 1 - because they’re assholes.
Answer 2 - because they technically hold “copyright” over the lyrics.
What is sad is that while lyric sheets ought to encourage people to buy the music, they’ve stopped including lyric sheets with a lot of CD’s lately as well. So even the “legal” purchasers have no easy way of getting to the lyrics to figure out what someone is rather unintelligibly grunting on that latest (c)rap CD, let alone the iTunes/Rhapsody/whatever purchaser.
But hey - when it comes to suing someone, never fear, your local chapter of the MafiAA will be there.

I don’t think that they’re being assholes (well, about this in particular). I can understand perfectly why they would crack down on independently run lyric sites. I do think, however, that they are being incredibly stupid and short-sighted. They should be doing it themselves.
What I don’t understand is why they don’t have an index-searchable database of their own that I can access by just typing a few words in a text-box. That would sell more records any billboard ad. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard a song on the radio and found the name of the song and artist by way of Google.
At the very least, they ought to be working with Amazon.com or some CD outlet on the matter.
