just saw Ray Wylie Hubbard at lafayettes, right down the street from me. Really good crowd, especially considering it's a Thursday night with the Grizz playing a playoff game down the street a couple miles. Ray does his thing and does it well. The same one liners that killed last year killed again ...

I have hazy memories of meeting clams outside the 40 watt. I think he was wearing a willie Nelson tee shirt with a plaid sportscoat?!?

Last night was by far the most intimate DBT show I've seen. Small crowd, small venue, nudity? I'm curious what you mean by intimate. Thanks. Small venue, undersold show. MAYBE 325 people there. Probably like 200 by the time the show ended. If there was nudity, I missed it unfortunately. Through the...

I became a fan around '08. I live in Covington not far from the coop you mentioned. I'll pm you! In early 2007 I moved to west Tennessee. Covington, TN to be more precise. I was moving out there for the company I worked for at the time. We were to take over the retail operations of the local farmer'...

My wife just started a local chapter of Girls Who Code in our area. Girls Who Code is a program for female high school students interested in science, engineering, and computer coding. The group meets once per week. Everytime my wife reminds me of an upcoming Girls Who Code meeting I start singing "...

Sachto,
I hope you continue to find closure after this tragedy.

I forgot Ramonz and Flea sang back up! This video does sum up the weekend for me. When I called my wife on Saturday morning I told her Friday night was a protest! P.s. I've been wanting to write a grand post summing up the weekend, saying how great the concerts were and how much I love y'all, but I ...

Grandpa (my f-in-law) and I are drinking tequila and finally watching the dvd's

Just trying to relive last weekend.

How many days till Homecoming 2018!

Bryan (father-in-law) came over tonight. We listened to Neil Young and gave my six year old a spelling lesson....RESIST!!

I really liked "Hell or High Water".

I couldn't find a better place to put this...

My son is a kindergartener.... Daily he's prompted as part of creative writing to ask his teacher a question. Today my son wrote:

"Do you like liquor?"

wherein my least favorite is when the credit card bill comes in and phungal starts asking "what did you spend $XX on in Athens on Feb 1Xth" Told you to pay cash for that massage I'm pretty sure Phungi had a concert buddy willing to provide a Happy Ending for nothing more than a smile and a beer.[/q...

Rumors were floating but DBT just announced.

I'm thinking I'll make the show. I believe there's a show in Birmingham around the same time I'd like to attend, but Beale Street is always fun with family. I may be in tow with potential hethan converts!

My wife works from home, but she's working in the town library this am because I'm home with the kids (President's Day), and she's proudly wearing her new Dance Band of the Resistance tee shirt "into the office." I guess I done good. I was worried I'd forget to get her a tee shirt.

Apparently they played Ronnie and Neil based on the video I sent my wife I hope I closed my tab This prompts my commendation of the 40 watt staff. On Friday night I was sober (happened one of three nights) but had a good rock show buzz/music excitement. I walked out of the 40 watt without closing m...

Homecoming is shaping up to be everything I'd read for years....an excited, enthusiastic band playing in a relatively small club for a family of fans. The shows have been wonderful but meeting folks has been equally good. I must say I was disappointed Flea doesn't wear a blue super hero costume in r...

Wow, was anyone close enough to the guy who interrupted "What It Means" to have the story to share? Inquiring minds listening to the stream want to know... Also, fuck the guy who was screaming for "Decoration Day" just prior. I didn't hear the decoration screams. The interrupter appeared to be a yo...

Yesterday during our never-ending drive to our first homecoming, we constantly joked about our pilgrimage to Mecca!

I think TC would prefer three toes of scotch!!!

Thank you for pointing that out. Craft beer social at 3pm on Friday at the Dazed inn parking lot, unless someone has a better idea. I thought this was a great idea. Since moving to the Memphis area I haven't found anything local that I love, but I'll let you try. I live about an hour outside of Mem...

I'll see you all off with a Wake & Bake. After you finish running, we'll compare notes to see who feels better. just another reminder why my "to-do list for Athens contains only two items: 1. Stick with Flea 2. See #1 Can't I run with Ramonz and hang out with flea? The two aren't mutual exclusives,...

Wanna see some post-vasectomy shots?

Flea,
Shouldn't testicile shots be reserved for Tuesday. Two days from Thursday???

For years I had wondered if the "40 watt light" line was Cooley's way of paying homage to the 40 watt club...maybe just coincidence. I realize a 40 watt light wouldn't provide much light for a moonshiner.

I was reminded of this in thinking about my first pilgrimage to the 40 watt (less than a week)!

seriously, I thought navigating the hill to the Courtyard/Dazed qualified as a "cardiac event"

I've only seen the inside of the airport in Atlanta and never been to Athens, but no one said there were HILLS!!!

Endorphins are a hullava drug!

Anyone up for some Athens jogging this year? I'm only doing 4 miles these days, and very well could be too tired and hungover to get serious, but just curious. Ramonz, I may join you, but I doubt I'll do four miles...nor will I do 26 miles in honor of zip city. I use an elliptical machine at home r...

I'm arriving on Wednesday and BJ Barrahm is playing the Georgia Theatre that night, always been kind of meh about him but it's something to do, should I go? Jamey Johnson is headlining that show. I have not seen BJ Barrahm solo, but have seen American Aquarium a number of times, which is always a g...

Really? Are you sure about that, Flea?

One man's toenail clippings...another man's toothpicks. Maybe not....

They were drunk as hell and sloppy as fuck last night. After Cooley told a heckler to suck his dick, and then proceeded to fuck up English Oceans, I did something I never thought I would do at a Truckers show. I walked out. I ain't even mad, just disappointed. Your loss. Don't go to a show and heck...

Maybe the pool at the Courtyard will be warm enough. I had a buddy who used to propose such activities with, "you ain't got a hair on your ass, if...."
