Way back in 1973 Gram Parsons informed us that a decent wedding would set you back $1000.
That is of course assuming that the bride doesn't do a runner (or has she popped her clogs?)
Whatever it results in the groom and his pals going on a bender of such magnitude that it's lucky they survived.
Don't you just love country music?
Step forward to 2017 and Brett Sparks is bemoaning the fact that these days 1000 dollars won't even buy you a decent second hand car.
Inflation, eh?
Gram Parson - $1000 Dollar Wedding
Evan Dando & Julianna Hatfield - $1000 Dollar Wedding
The Handsome Family -$1000 Dollar Car
Three toptastic tunes. Handsomes particularly splendid

Thanks for that - did't have that Handsome Family song. Do now: like George, I went straight to buy the sampler.
