Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
Context, Bubba. Context! Sheesh! Sorry I thought this was being widely reported, but maybe that's part of the problem. He's been saying one version or another of it for more than a week now and that's not going back as far as his "poisoning the blood" comments. And I left out describing immigrants ...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
I know it's fashionable, nay, even de rigueur, to be cynical or even apathetic, but I can't let this one go. There is nothing good to say about a politician dehumanizing the other with terms like "monsters" and "animals" for perceived political advantage and it's even worse for him to actually gain ...

Hadn't heard of that one Chuck but a quick google search says that your comparison to a thriller is accurate which of course piques my interest.

Re: DBT Tracks - Week # 6 - One of These Days
I’ve heard Every Single Stories Flame Out described as the guy in Zip City years later. I think that could be said about this song too. Sorry I missed this until now but yeah, I think that's accurate. But one could say that about a number of Cooley's songs. "Primer Coat" is one that comes immediate...

True enough but with a new record and tour coming, seems to me he's back with his tail between his legs. I don't know the answer but i think we should check ticket sales for the tour before we decide Neil's terms of surrender. His statement said that because all the other streaming services "have s...

Re: DBT Tracks - Week # 6 - One of These Days
Agree with bubba that the song is about fathers and sons more than anything else. This song reminds me of my old man a lot. He never went to Chicago. He went to Las Vegas. And he went to Vietnam twice. The line about a country boy seeing steam rising reminds me a lot of him and my own experience ov...

Re: DBT Tracks - Week # 6 - One of These Days
An interesting interpretation and historically you're right in terms of Cooley's preoccupations. But I don't see the racial aspect in this particular line/verse. I hear it as more of a class-based commentary on how crime is perceived, i.e. everyone complains about "street crime" but nobody notices ...
