Name: Train

AKA: "Too Bad They're Not Called 'Plane,' Then My Vomiting In This Airsick Bag Would Be Technically Correct"

Genre: Ubiquitous annoyo-pop

Houston Connections, If Any: Houston has a lot of trains, and we feel like throwing ourselves under one every time we hear that goddamned "Hey Soul Sister" song.

If You Like This, Chances Are You'll Like: Only drinking coffee at midnight, smoking a pack a day (wait, that's me), wearing high heels when you exercise... you're a flake, in other words.

Odds of Wearing a Hat: 10 percent

Because He/She's Bald? Because they're trying to be ironic, man.

Odds of Onstage Injury: Only if a helpful HLSR volunteer opens the bull enclosure and mercifully stampedes them out of our misery.

Odds of The Crowd Wondering What Genius Scheduled These Mopes to Play The Freaking Rodeo: 100 billion percent
