hey Randall can you do an @xkcd chart of "how much could a banana cost? Twelve dollars?" for different things, where the axes are how likely you think it would cost twelve dollars, graphed against how likely it actually costs twelve dollars

Gangstagrass held a workshop on depolarizing American music that explained how the music industry artificially separated “hillbilly” music from “race” music for marketing purposes. Our two-party political system works in much the same way, says @fstockman. https://t.co/EGU14CnvuB

@AdeemTheArtist enjoyed your Jason Aldean cover! Our band @gangstagrass was just featured in an nyt op-ed framed around that song; let us know if you wanna hop on a livestream & talk about your work

In Opinion

"Music should create social cohesion, not division," writes Farah Stockman. "I recently spent two days with Gangstagrass, a band that is making music that actually unites us, and reflecting on why it isn’t better known." https://t.co/3IE2krRiHf

@jacobcollier excited to see you at @colours_cz! @gangstagrass will also be performing tomorrow; let me know if you'd like a banjo onstage with you, or some MCs, whatever you like best #youcanhaveboth

Our hearts are broken for the families who suffered tragedy yesterday in Nashville, so close to us…Having returned just days ago from New Zealand and Australia I remain stunned and disappointed that we have not banned assault weapons in our great country.

@UnrealBluegrass Exclusively 3-finger I think, this was a while ago. But I bet clawhammer would have been nice. Although I'm not sure how thumbing the 5th strings would go. You might have to soften how you approach the string to get both of them in one move.

@BrianLehrer I flew out of Amsterdam on Monday - I got in the security line 2.5hrs before scheduled departure time, and stood in line for 2.5hrs. Luckily, enough passengers were delayed that they held the flight for us.
