Re: DBT (and Jason) in Americanaland

For what it's worth, I'm doing my best to not get stuck in the weeds of defining "Americana" in my book, which would be comparable to trying to give a precise definition to "world music." In fact, "Americana" was created as a promotional handle to market records that fell between radio formats. So ...

Re: Fall 2019 Tour

Good to see Drive By “Screw The Midwest” Truckers is still a thing. Because this is the only tour they're going to do :roll: No, but when the ratio of southeastern/eastern dates to midwest dates grows to 4:1 or 5:1, it gets a bit exhausting Well I don't see a lot of the west coast, Hawaii, or Alask...

Re: MLB 2019

Wow! June 15th, lots going on, and no posts in 18 days. How about this? Padres floated trading Hunter Renfroe Friday. He hit 3 home runs last night. If that's his reaction, I say keep him! 21 home runs. Tied for third highest in MLB. I think it's worth exploring a trade. He's a really good player, ...

Cortez the Killer "Greatest defensive whiz of his generation. Best pure hitter of his generation. Predicted cover boy of MLB21. Equal tiers for sure." Not sure what that means, but I suspect it is some form of condescension. Maybe I'm mistaken. He makes plays like this every game. This was the harde...

He has displayed Ozzie Smith (originally a Padre) defense, with a better arm. Tony Gwynn batting, with more power. And clearly the best baserunner in MLB now.

Re: DBT (and Jason) in Americanaland

Americana is broad enough to include DBT in my opinion. Americana is as much rock as folk & country. The Jayhawks have been called a pioneer in the genre by some, and they are a pop band compared to DBT. The Raspberrys considered themselves a rock band. So did the Clash. Not much similar between the...

Based on what she says on Rogan, I was a huge Gabbard supporter. She's absolutely not a conservative, has no time for Trump, and is willing to take on the military industrial complex.

Who is an unbiased source? If Rogan is biased, it is not to the right. He is remarkably well rounded and open minded. And clearly intelligent. But you can dismiss and judge TWO people without listening to them if you choose. Still a free country.
