@SpwofDixie@michaeld1969a Really is. Gives alot of "smaller" artists a platform. Like Benjamin or Colter Wall. Everyone in the world should know who Colter Wall is.
I'm so glad to know other people in this movement also have such ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ taste in music. Benjamin Tod is a legend and Lost Dog Street Band is legendary as well. This music is a part of our culture. Letting it die is another step closer to there not being anything left of us.
@SpwofDixie Oh for sure. I just don't think people don't realize string instruments find their origins in those areas. Black people say they created rock n roll which might be true, we just happened to invent all the instruments they used to create it.
@boethius_sextus @JenniferCaseCO How are atheists any different from gays or vegans or trannies? They have no intrinsic value to society so they've attached all their worth into identity. They can't have a conversation without bringing it up. What a warped state of mind to have to exist in.
LET ME JUST SAY THIS:
If you call out the obvious use of pornography to pacify and hypnotize an entire populous, but can't see video games are used to do the EXACT same thing, you aren't as awake to the issues as you think you are.
Made more egregious if you call out porn addiction, in yourself or others, are apart of no fap or no wanks or just have chosen to not involve yourself with the racket, but then sit and play Fallout or RDR2 or Destiny for 12 hours+ a day.
On the one hand, I fundamentally detest video games and anime culture, but on the other hand so many like minded people I enjoy being friends with on here are all about both. So I guess I'll push my contempt down farther into my soul.
@McGregorKnows@SpwofDixie@Jeff69232693 I think it's safe to say anyone from the Appalachian area is hit hard by the message and passion in this song. It's a Steve Earle song but Benjamin Tod's bluegrass version is so much more poignant.
This has been said a billion times but bluegrass and really all forms of Appalachian/Country/Western are direct musical descendants of the tunes written and played through Scotland, Ireland and Northern Europe. One of the few art forms still uncorrupted by other cultures.
