Welcome to 2026, where apparently thinking a flying car is cool is a “political” position. Some people are so politically captured and afraid of being ostracized by their tribe that they’ve lost all sense of child-like wonder…and honestly it’s sad.
The cover art is a pic of my dad riding a bronc at a rodeo in the 70’s…
I don’t know what the point is of doing a cover just like the original version. If you’re not gonna make it different what are you contributing? I’ve always taken pride in re-imagining songs,
there’s a certain art to it. I aim to keep the essence of a song, what makes it great, and take it somewhere unexpected. I took a lot of flack for my cover of the Waylon Jennings song
“Waymore’s Blues” but why do it just like Waylon? You’re not gonna top that interpretation of it. If I want to hear that interpretation I’ll just listen to the original! I think it’s funny when bands
cover “Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way” just like Waylon did it. Unless you’re a tribute band I think that kind of misses the point of the song. I’m a fan of the folk music tradition.
Songs are living things that take on a life of their own and it’s an artist’s job to keep the great
ones alive. My version of Amarillo By Morning, made famous by George Strait is now out in the world. Find it now!
One of the best parts of this job is the people you get to meet out on the road. Legendary director John Landis made it out to a show last week. SO MANY CLASSIC MOVIES…Animal House, Blues Brothers, Coming to America, Trading Places, Three Amigos… He was down-to-earth, funny and kind.
MLB has effectively outlawed use of league-provided dugout iPads to access generative AI, which some teams had increasingly leaned upon to help shape in-game strategy, per @TheAthletic.
@ClintHurdle13 I think the duration, pace and grind of baseball (more than all other sports) best mirrors life. A long slow journey with moments of intense emotion. Best part about going 0 for 4 is that there’s a new game tomorrow and a chance at redemption.
