Tickets purchased for two nights of Son Volt next month in St. Louis.

Excellent! I'm seeing Jay & Co. tomorrow night in Fairfield, CT.

Judging by social media stuff it appears this tour is going very well for SV. Several shows have sold out and feedback is very positive.

My wife and I went on a Northern Wisconsin/Northeast Minnesota vacation last week. We kayaked the Brule River in Brule, Wisconsin and it was the cleanest river I've ever seen. We did a 12 mile trip and saw one fishing bobber hung in some rocks. Not another piece of trash the entire trip. It is a stu...

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VZ+1TyQsL._SX425_.jpg Yes, sir. Digging this. I think they did a great job with the tunes and Doug's voicemails are fantastic. Indeed. Worth it for the voicemails alone. Going to see them next month. Trace in its entirety and then whatever else Jay is in the mo...

Summer vacation in the upper midwest.... Saw John Anderson in Shipshewanna, Indiana last night. He's the best. Might see Brent Cobb Tuesday in Minneapolis. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on Thursday in Bayfield, Wisconsin. Blue Ox Music Festival in Eau Claire, Wisconsin next Friday. Next Saturday we'll eith...

I find all these take’s interesting. I’m one of the few people who has liked his recent albums, so I don’t see this new album as this revelatory thing. It’s very good, but not leaps better than his last few records. I thought Reunions was straight up dogshit, and that SMTF and Nashville Sound had 3...

It was my initial favorite too.
That has shifted to "This Ain't It". Great opening line, great character, and hardcore Allman Brothers guitar interplay.

New Isbell. I like it more than I expected to.

New Jimbo Mathus- Since 1967
"Hey Mr DJ,
play another song like the one you just played
Crank the drums, crank the bass
crank that shit all over the place"

Jimbo rules.

48% of the 33% who actually vote in this country And the number of those voters who watched that Town Hall is probably low single digits. As much of a splash as it made in the news, and among folks who watch the news, an overwhelming majority of the country can't be bothered. Maybe they are the one...

He said dozens of things that 60-80% of the population disagree with or disapprove of. Abortion, Russia, January 6, etc etc etc... Come election time he'll still get at least 48% of the vote. I'm willing to admit that I don't know how the fuck CNN and other media outlets should handle him. I find my...

Republicans are calling protesters at the Tennessee State House “a real insurrection.” Yet I see nobody pissing on the walls, no stupid motherfuckers with horns, no broken windows and no police being assaulted. Instead what I see is the most undemocratic display by elected officials I’ve ever witne...

Last night a tornado hit my hometown, Adamsville, Tennessee (also Buford Pusser's hometown). Seven people were killed. Fuck. I'm going to guess that at "best" you're separated by only one degree from those unfortunate folks and it seems likely you may have known one or more of them personally. So s...

New Leon Russell biography, "Leon Russell: The Master of Space and Time's Journey Through Rock and Roll" by Bill Janovitz.
Maybe my favorite rock bio ever.

I think they determined the materials (specifically bolts) used on the slabbed houses in the Mayfield, KY tornado were sub-par and that was part of why it was an EF-4. It's just been an incredibly active season down there already. I believe Thursday is already a 15% day for OK/TX, so things will li...

Very possible that last night's tornado in Rolling Fork, MS will be the first to receive an EF-5 rating since Moore, OK in 2013. Was watching and following live last night. Truly horrific storms. There may have been three or more EF-3+ tornadoes that touched down in MS and there were tornado warnin...

Wonderful urban cowboy, 80's country show yesterday at the Dixie Theatre in Huntingdon ,Tennessee put on by T.G. Sheppard. The place sold out and he brought the hits. Big fun.

Unless there's something I'm not aware of, that was probably the best chance we've had to implement a national system of healthcare that would have made a truly significant difference. I think you understate the impact of Obamacare. I see it working for my indigent roommate. It's far short of what ...

Jimmy Carter was ready for a catastrophic coverage plan that would have eased a ton of this burden. It wasn't enough for Ted Kennedy so we got nothing. My memory was that it was under Nixon that Ted screwed up national health care by holding out. https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/how-...

Jimmy Carter was ready for a catastrophic coverage plan that would have eased a ton of this burden. It wasn't enough for Ted Kennedy so we got nothing. I find this response puzzling. I don't remember those events too well but I assume you've described them accurately. There is nothing wrong with us...

That the US does not have universal healthcare, under some system, continues to shock me on an almost daily basis. I just don't understand how we as a country find this acceptable It's not shocking at all. It's Capitalism uber alles and if you get sick and die its your own fault for not bootstrappi...

Bill has gone from a Libertarian to a Republican who just hates Trump. Because he has conservatives on his show ? I watched about ten minutes of last week's show. He is a full-blown boomer now. He sounds like my 75 year old dad shaking his fist at "kids these days" and flinging out scorching hot ta...

Whoa, hitting the way back machine! A favorite of 4sooner's.

"Rock and roll crazies - Cuban Bluegrass" is about as good as it gets.

I have no doubt that it's hitting the poorer people the hardest. Those people were already NOT shopping on Black Friday or going to sporting or concert events. It depends on what you consider poorer, but I take your point. People for whom a 20% hike in groceries means their kids don't eat The poore...

Dude.... https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3AY5NCnZyFkCzufBDkdDxT?si=bcd32439366e49ef On Sunday mornings my wife, my stepkids and I blast a playlist like that while we cook and clean. It's a hoot. There are some legit great songs on that list BTW... The Door Is Always Open is one of my favorite son...
