To celebrate the release of “Rewind” (the full album drops this Friday!!!), I created a studio video of “Always Remember Us This Way” in the studio with @RonFairchild … I’ve had the funnest time putting these promo pieces together! I hope you enjoy!🎥🎬💫 #Rewind ⏪
I love the music business because you can be in a room with a guy who has a Grammy and a guy who spent the last 6 months in a dark room doing ketamine and they are both equally incapable of paying rent this month.
1/ To the world, our father was the iconic music legend whose vision, instincts, and relentless pursuit of excellence shaped the soundtrack of countless lives.
Things the recovery industry will not tell you:
1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.
2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.
3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.
4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.
5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.
6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.
7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)
8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.
9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.
10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.
I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
@Mark1969amx@RonFairchild I don’t know where you live but I will tell you UNEQUIVOCALLY that gas has NEVER been over $4.00 per gallon at the station I’ve passed every day for 30 years. It is now!
@caseythayes@NASCAR@CLTMotorSpdwy@PrimeVideo That’s good info to know… it’s a shame, but I can see why they went the direction they did. I hate it for those who can’t watch. From what I understand there’s a 30-day free trial for Prime, so maybe more fans will be able to at least watch those races during the trial.
I’m sure they do… not the point, though… broadcasting races behind a paywall prevents anyone who isn’t a Prime subscriber from watching an event we’ve had on free TV since racing started being televised. Not everyone can afford to pay for Prime… including a huge part of NASCAR’s target audience.
RIP Kyle Busch. I was raised in a racing family and at times like this, no matter how competitive racers are on the track, the racing community always comes together. My condolences to his family & loved ones. #NASCAR#RIPKyleBusch
We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.
“This is an incredibly painful shock for all of us and a heartbreaking loss for the NASCAR family. Kyle was one of the most talented drivers I’ve ever seen and a racer in the truest sense of the word. He had a fire and competitive spirit that drove him to be great. I watched Kyle grow up in this sport and valued the friendship we shared long after he drove for our organization. As much as he loved to drive a race car, nothing brought him more joy than being a husband, a father and watching his son race. On behalf of everyone at Hendrick Motorsports, our hearts are with Samantha, Brexton, Lennix, Kurt and the Busch family.”
- Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports
