I am pretty sure that Rod didn’t have a mean bone in his body. I also know that if I randomly knocked on his door at 3am, he would take me in; he was that kind of guy. Rest In peace, my friend!

Well this community breathes a collective sigh of relief as Williams says, “ I’m retiring, but don’t blame clams!”

Wham— Last Christmas

I have alienated everyone in my family, and if y’all don’t want to be friends anymore, I understand!!!

BTB, I was thinking of you and attorneys when I posted!!!! I guess I could google the definition of plagiarism, but the discussion is so much fun.

Plagiarism vs. imitation/the sincere form of flattery

I should probably have put those last few words in quotation marks since they are not my own!!!

I just read a great quote from Brian Williams (NBC) in which he referenced our country’s polarization and referred to “the darkness on the edge of town”. Williams is retiring (or at least taking a break) from journalism for such reasons. Is “darkness on the edge of town” a commonly used phrase? I wo...

Does anyone know if the 40 Watt has done or is doing anything to improve ventilation in the club?

Like previous concerts following the chili cook offs weren’t enough to prompt that question!!!

I had Thanksgiving leftovers with Bryan today, and I enjoyed turkey and a Facebook video of Dean walking. Way to go, TC!!!! Looking good!!!

Thanks for the update, Doc.

Like several of us, I’m not on Facebook.

Please tell Dean and Beth that the Heathen nation is pulling for them…I’m sure they already know!!!

I hope that things are still progressing well for Dean and Beth!

After Dean heals, I bet if he posed for a picture similar to the Cowboy Heart video above, copies of said picture would fetch a pretty penny in Nuccis Space auction!!!

I’d buy one and frame it for sure!

Great news!!! Thank you for letting us know. I am riding through Mississippi and was just thinking about Dean and Beth!

Thanks for letting us know, Doc! The last I heard last night Dean was getting a sponge bath…

I’m glad that things have gone well, and I hope that they continue to progress!!!

If my attire offends anyone should I take a lesson from that Homecoming legend from years ago…the one regarding the fan who removed all his clothing while rocking out??? I just don’t want to step on toes. Regardless, I’ll wear my clothes in the 40 watt line. January/February is cold in Georgia and I...

DBT made the list twice, and Pavement, about whom I learned originally from this site. Interesting list….

In regard to the DVD drive, concerts have been sparse since COVID, and I just had the idea of a "Real Housewives" style reality show with the band members from quarantine times. If it was anything like my house, you'd hear, "if I see you one more day in that same pair of boxers..." "But, baby, I wea...

MMJ has never captured me, but I saw the band’s set at the end of Colbert the other night. The light show was amazing!

Boy, oh boy, was this a fun weekend! All of my va buddies used to talk about the time I ended up with chocolate all over the front of my pants…I think it was this weekend. Hey, there is a lot of candy on Halloween. I think our good friends in the DVD production business captures this show. I think I...

I guess this article is appropriate in the politics thread?!?

My grandfather left his home to fight in Germany partially due to the Holocaust. I will never forget watching Schindler’s List with him. Reading the article just makes me crazy!

I may be staying what’s on a lot of our minds, but I’m wondering if the family needs help with funeral expenses??? Could we set up a fund for Ladonna and kids? Educational expenses??? I listened to Grand Canyon last night while doing dishes and thought of our friend. I’m smiling right now thinking o...

Today’s news is awful. As happy as I will be to return to the 40 watt rail, it will feel so differently! I have talked to one of our mutual friends about feelings of guilt over the death of our friend. I feel awfully for LaDonna and the kids, and I feel very sad regarding Smitty’s death. I am not su...

Ohhh! My wife bought me tickets for this show when it was originally scheduled, and we eventually got rid of them. I haven’t done an indoor show yet…hell, I haven’t even eaten in an indoor restaurant yet, but last night looked awesome. I didn’t get into DBT till post Isbell, but I’d love to see them...

I agree, but I’m still glad that I watched. I wouldn’t call the movie unwatchable by any stretch but it is probably not as good as the least exciting episode of the Sopranos. The tv show leaves such a high mark! ok but a little disappointing https://www.vitalthrills.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/sa...

I watched The Spectacular Now the other weekend and really enjoyed it.

I just read that Marjorie Taylor Greene is…wait for it…a UGA alum!

I wonder if she’ll ever come back to visit her alma mater for DBT Homecoming????

Is “hauntingly beautiful” too much of a cliche? I’m sorry for your loss, Rocky! I immediately thought of “Brokedown Palace” which a friend has requested for his service. I’m listening to “Goodbye” now, and the guitar work is awesome, but hey, it is a DBT song! I too am listening to the song for the ...

https://www.stereogum.com/2159953/drive-by-truckers-southern-rock-opera/reviews/the-anniversary/ Bryan (beaverdamsfinlaw) sent this to me. By the way, his bday was yesterday. Graham called us to wish him a happy bday while we were eating Chinese takeout in his backyard. Most folks won’t ever know a ...

I am really enjoying “Nine Perfect Strangers” on Hulu

This morning on the way home from recycling I heard Marshall Tucker singing, “Mr. President Have Pity on the Working Man!” I was kind of shocked to hear a MTB song with which I wasn’t familiar and even more shocked to see no MTB thread in 3DD!!! I almost feel like I’m channeling my inner swamp with ...

Does the book include one of the late night 40 watt group pictures of so many of us as the “centerfold”???

Did anyone else notice that the author is originally from McNairy, Tennessee.

Irony!!!!

My dad has never seen the band before but is sending me videos.

I just got one of The Deeper In.

I don’t live in Virginia anymore and won’t be attending, but… The raceway is in actually in Henrico County, and my dad, who is retired from the Henrico Fire Department but still works part time for a company that monitors large events, is going to be working the concert. My dad’s name is Butch Jones...
