6 years ago today I decided to get sober. I remember listening to “Six years come September” by @USAquarium thinking “man… will I make it to the 6 year mark?” Well, 6 years in and I gotta say. I don’t think I would’ve made it another 6 years drinking. Thanks for that, BJ!
Got a last minute gig playing country lead tonight. They want to play sold(the Grundy county auction) and I’ve never chicken picked in my life. Any country pickers out there got tips for faking my way through a Brent mason tune without falling on my face? @WamplerPedals
@RichOToole I don’t wear a cowboy hat cause I got a big ass head and they make it look even bigger. That and a lot of my songs are about hating myself. Not many white Stetsons would show up to my show anyway haha.
@BolandDrummer@RichOToole Right? It’s about mass appeal that’s a mile wide and an inch deep. “Hey let’s all get drunk in a field and light shit on fire” is something most folks can relate to. So, we get 100 of those songs a year.
@RichOToole It’s almost all aesthetic. I know plenty of people that work on ranches and do cowboy shit that dress, talk, and act like “city” folks most of the time. But cosplay cowboys/rednecks sell records. Even the ones that actually are country are trying too hard to prove it. Nauseating.
@Doc_Texas I like wisner, and there were flashes where he looked like a stud. However there were a lot of times where it looked like he could’ve bounced it out for 5-10 yards, but ran into the back of an o-lineman and got 1-2 yards. So, the consistency wasn’t there to me.
I build guitar pedals for my day job. Took a stab at designing one from scratch. Feels like somewhere between vintage and modern fuss to me. #guitargear
Friday I went to see @USAquarium in Fort Worth in part to take my mind off of my dad starting chemo. Then bj shared the story of his mom’s passing and looked pretty much right at me when he said “you’re not going through this alone.” Thanks for making me cry, asshole #fuckcancer
@davidpollack47 Meh, the Georgia game was competitive for 3+ qtrs. Florida is bad, but as far as uk and msu, no one discounted A&M for needing a historic comeback against 4-8 SC. UT hung with OSU & Georgia for 3 qtrs, then dominated ou, A&M and vandy for 3 qtrs. They can hang with the best.
@BolandDrummer@GovStitt I got failing grades on assignments in my pastoral program for disagreeing with my professor because “if you disagree with me, you don’t understand the topic.” Where is my religious persecution badge?
@BolandDrummer@GovStitt Also, the first amendment protects you from facing consequences from the government as the result of your speech. Your employer, or school, or any other entity has no legal responsibility to give you free speech.
@bradluttrell 1 million a month? Paying the bills of as many indie musicians I can so they can focus on the music. The stipulation would be that when they can afford to do it, they pay the bills of other artists.
