It is no secret that Southwest Montana is home to some of the best musicians and songwriters in the state of Montana.  Montana, in turn, is home to some of the best songwriters in the world and our state's natural beauty and even attitude have been fodder for many big songs.

This Sunday will be a great opportunity to watch and listen to some of our area's finest singers and songwriters in an absolutely gorgeous natural environment that is as close to perfect as you can get for a show of this type.  "Americonda" will feature seven of our areas fines musicians in a folksy-yet-modern setting, the friendly confines of Smitty's Barn which has served as one of the area's most popular event and reception venues.

LOOK: 50 famous memes and what they mean

With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it's hard to keep track. Just when you've grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. While the almost self-replicating nature of these vague symbols can get exhausting, memes in their essence can also bring people closer together—as long as they have internet access.
