Re: Quicklist: Unreleased Songs You Wanna See Recorded

I'm pretty sure there's a studio version of Crystal Clear floating around out there. I'd love to hear Superman. The only version I've heard is a bad quality live recording.

Re: The Fine Print

I know it's a cover, but Rebels has become one of my favorite songs off this album. Wonder why they don't play it more often? Especially since they do Play it All Night Long fairly often. (Which I also love but not as much as Rebels)

Re: Track of the Week - The Night G.G. Allin Came to Town

I never took any racial connotations from that at all To be clear, I don't think Cooley or anyone in DBT is racist and I think they've proven that multiple times.

The "you can lie to your race" line always bothered me (slightly). Agreed. The truckers are obviously not a racist bunch, but I always cringed at the thought of somebody taking this line out of context or repurposing it as a racist rally cry. If it does indeed mean human race, and maybe t...

In the liner notes to the early albums "The General" referred to Sara Kelly Jones. I believe she was the band's manager at one time. I'm not sure if she's the same General referred to in "Box of Spiders". It's not the same person. This song is about his great grandparents. The l...

I think some of David Alan Coe's stuff is awful in terms of the message but I still enjoy some of the songs of his that aren't like that. I thought the racist shit was Johnny Rebel or someone like that. Not actually DAC. Umm, track 1. http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/300x300/58036993.jpg

I guess I'm as much to blame as anybody for this veering off into a country vs rock debate, so here's a few semi-random thoughts in bulletted form: - DBT is obviously a band that straddles the line between rock and country.

Re: Major League Baseball - 2012

If this system had been in place last year, then the whole last month of Cards-Braves and Red Sox-Rays would have been anticlimactic. The new system does water down the playoffs and takes some of the drama out of the regular season. I think it's bad for the game.
