We NEVER buy music from Walmart.... but they've got some really great grocery prices at the super ones. :-x

I was actually just reading about that.
It sucks that Wal-mart censored the cover, but I've come to expect that from them. Personally, I never buy music from any store around here. Anything I buy gets ordered off the net.
That being said, I am curious to hear the album. Willie Nelson doing reggae is an interesting thought.

Willie. Regge. Odd. I might buy it just to know what the hell it is.

Typical Wally World shit. We stopped buying CD's there years ago because of their policy on censoring. What's really fasinating is that they still carry DVD's and video games (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) that are rated R and M and they don't censor them. However, you do have to be 17 or older to buy them.

I gotta ask...What could you possibly find music wise at Wally World? I have a hard time finding anything good at Best Buy.

I usually buy from Disc Exchange or online, because that's the only place that even carries most bands I love.

I say Hurray for walmart!

Poor palm trees have been left out of the media spotlight for too long!

And just because they're not as much fun to smoke.....

Palm trees WILL reclaim their rightful spot in america's eye....

ONE WILLE NELSON WAL-MART VERSION COVER AT A TIME!!!!

Yes, the Wal-mart thing is messed up.....i refuse to do biz with them unless i HAVE to.

What i'm thinking:

Willie Nelson + reggae = Pat Boone+ Heavy Metal

I mostly buy groceries and cat supplies at Walmart because all grocery stores except them in Oak Ridge do that thing with the card carrying club. I refuse to carry a little piece of plastic on my keychain or card in my wallet. I may just be one person, but I am compelled to punish any store that requires I jump take extra steps to get the lowest price on a grocery item. I know several places that the checkout cashier will run one they keep at the register, but I still feel that when I buy items there that I encourage stupid crap like that. Only thing I have about Walmart is that it's always so damn busy in the evenings. I never buy more than I can carry, but I always have to wait behind like 8 people in the express checkout lane. Of course, three of them have exactly 20 items and will be writing a check. The one in front of me is usually the trouble one. Last time, the person in front of me had a pair of flipflops that the price tag was missing from.

My biggest Wal-Mart beef is no hand baskets. You know the reason for this is that you will buy more groceries if you have a cart...Assholes. :roll:

But yeah, their grocery prices are good. I'm a price card juggler and it is nice not to have to deal with that nonsense. BTW: The new avatar fucking slays!

Walmart also profits off of the deaths of it's low level employees. No joke.
