If I coached Bama I would just go for a 17 point touchdown.

Here’s to all the fans, stages, and hoteliers who’ve been a part of our tremendous year. And to my dedicated players (Drunken Prayer is a unique “band”), I couldn’t ask for a more exciting crew. Thanks specifically to @dialbacksound.bsky.social for rescuing me. Roll Tide youtu.be/pdYxF1LfaVc?...

Remember kids, candy canes are the Devil’s walking sticks.

This is one of rock’s greatest atrocities.

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

When I say Spotify is Surveillance, I don’t just mean it’s creepy that they are tracking what music you listen to and using that data to serve ads. I mean your Spotify data is deeply intimate and can be used to glean information about you like your daily habits, your moods, and more.

Stevie Wonder releases “Uptight (Everything’s Alright)” 60 yrs ago today. At 15, the child star was in danger of being a has-been. His voice was changing. Motown execs “would give assignments to the various producers,” said songwriter Sylvia Moy. “No one wanted Stevie.” The song saved his career.

It ain’t easy to get on stage and perform with nothing but an acoustic instrument and your God given wit. It’s humbling. Some of us do it with wit and grace. Last night I played guitar in a Honky Tonk band in a hotel lobby as one of my heroes was boarding the glory train. RIP Todd Snider.

As a Kern I’m following this closely.

Elvis is at his absolute best in the early 70’s. And his band was incredible too. He knew how to entertain, and he knew the music. youtu.be/T1g5tVGZhfk?...

Back to the egg.

Your podcast has both radically reconfigured my understanding of rock history and affirmed my least interesting music opinion, that the Beatles are obviously the greatest band of all time

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were: Black Baptist Churches A Mosque A small Appalachian church

The internet is undefeated.

This is brilliant

Writing is how poor people, as long as they have something to say that continues to be meaningful, can live forever. Rich people too, obviously, but they rarely have that much of interest to say.
