“Excited people get on daddy’s nerves.” hard to claim writer's block when you are coming up with lines like that... I've said it before: all evidence suggests that Cooley's a bit of a stonecutter. The "problem" is one great phrase is easy. He ain't done till there's a whole song of 'em. (A while ag...

I'm in line for a new, full-time gig, after over two years of searching, and this is on what would be the first day of "official" work. (I've been at the gig on an interim basis since 10/1). So, if I don't get the job, I'll be there. (I find out 1/24...my birthday weekend). Since I really, really ne...

Nicely done.

Hey y'all, as one of the few who has already seen and watched this video (several times!!), I tell ya you NEED to own this. Jonicont was kind enough to send me an advance copy since a) it was at my house and b) most of the night has been lost in my memory bank due to uh, circumstances beyond my con...

This came up in my “Facebook Memories” today; from December 10, 2016: “Over the years, I've periodically gotten into listening jags with a particular band, where basically it was all I listened to. There was Richard Buckner & Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers in '02/'03; The Frames; The Band & Nirvana...

Absolutely great interview. The backpack story from NYC is astounding. So much great stuff here.

And I hope Earl Hicks is listening somewhere, somehow...

Right now, just HC (all three) and Webster Hall. New job + wanting to stay married + watching $$$. I'll just enjoy myself extra for those 4, and hope for another Brooklyn Bowl run in the summer of 2020.

I’m just now starting to feel that Homecoming is really going to happen for us. If it was tomorrow not so much but in 72 days? I’m getting excited. Will be my 12th, Lurleen’s 13th in a row. C’mon wheel! No jokers! I can't imagine what would make (and not just) me happier. And f**k them jokers; they...

I haven't even looked at the spreadsheet yet but I've already got a love/hate relationship w/ it. OT1H, there's the wonder of it all a la TC's comment and the probable convenience of the spreadsheet as a resource. OTOH, rock n roll and spreadsheets are very strange bedfellows. Rock 'n roll has a hi...

^^^ Love this post. Thanks Glenn. Thank you. I admit, maybe it's a little weird to worry about a songwriter the way I am sure other normals worry about family members. "I hope he's all right!" "I hope he's not being too hard on himself because he hasn't--again--written another of the best songs in ...

So. "Grievance Merchants" is the second Cooley song? Has that been played live yet anywhere? Just 2 Cooley songs after 3 1/2 years? Years ago, I talked to Cooley after a solo show and asked him why he didn't write more songs. His response was "You got any?" You got off easy :lol: :lol: I've been th...

Last year I pretty much mortgaged 2020 to get the "yes" on 2019, but bought FRI and SAT just in case the stars align, and all set on refundable Courtyard. Hoping to get at least one night this year....and really want to see the Dexateens. We'll see how the Thursday tickets are selling. Agree with a...

I guess I was one of the very, very few lucky ones: I got my one ticket for all three nights. I'm such a stress-ball about it--for no good reason, as I know rationally that the Friday general should take care of everyone--that having that worry--unnecessary worry--off my plate is a huge relief. I sh...

I get it. Life gets in the way. Wife's birthday is Feb. 15 and mine's the 23rd, and she runs a small indy one-person bookstore, so that's been her traditional post-holiday breather (plus a Valentine's day combo) and the only "us time" of the year. So not that I couldn't go, just never proposed it. ...

I am beyond excited, and can't wait to see many of you.

Plane ticket booked; lodging nearly finalized; will book Groome shuttle tomorrow.

Thursday I'll pack.

Of course they have. I don't think anybody is saying otherwise.

No, not here, of course. But other less understanding DBT fans--again, not here--might be rather less patient!

It may be an age thing, but I hardly ever find myself being impatient about things these days, so I haven't been thinking about this album in the way other people seem to have. The music has been recorded, and eventually will be released. Always interesting when we are let in on some of the numerou...

The only thing I'm glad is gone is the "the band never used to be political" or "just shut up and play rock n' roll" kind of comments which are just ridiculous. In a bit of perfect timing, I just became aware of this pre-Rocky Mount show article that appeared in the Roanoke Times, which I assume is...

I’m not sure that’s true. Most of the right wingers are gone from the FB group. I just think that people who use FB frequently find it a nuisance to visit another site and some have actually told me that. It's a hard life, a hard life, a very hard life... For me, the FB page is quick check-ins (wel...

I concur that this is a near impossibility. Zip, Surrender, Ramon, Birthday Boy, Three Dimes, Shit Shots, Love Like This, '72...but since I assume this is an "at gunpoint" situation, those are my four.

I have no doubt that "Project Reclaim Alabama" is a long-term plan. There is a real debate within the national Democratic party (I remember it coming to the fore when Howard Dean was running the show) about a "50-state plan".
