"This book’s most unsettling chapter takes its name from one of the great, literate rock bands in this country: Drive-By Truckers. This chapter gives us Ms. Strand at her angriest, grisliest and most convincing. In it she proposes that America’s 10,000 or so truck stops breed serious crime, ...
Passing this along from Patterson to Smitty and anyone else who might find this interesting. This is an older post on that same blog. Miss Sunbeam is mentioned on the Heat Lightning song untold pretties: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 Who Murdered Little Miss Sunbeam's Killer? The following account is ...
I don't equate Republicans with evil either. Johnny Ramone was a Republican. Johnny Ramone was a right wing reactionary asshole, and a huge prick his entire life. I don't think it's a coincidence that he died from a form of cancer that involved his butthole. Sometimes, when you plant ice, you harve...

Passing On From The Man: Y'ALL, Just want to set the record straight. DBT is not playing for the RNC this year or any other year. I generally never say never, but there, I said it. We had been offered a show, a well paying show for a private entity that is having an event that is in Tampa and coinci...
http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/stories/2009/01/19/daily39.html This isn't the first time DBT's played a private gig for Republicans: Magnum Entertainment Group Inc. threw a private party nearby at the Sphinx Club, a newly refurbished ballroom at 1315 K St. NW. Jeff Kimbell, founder of the f5...
The Pine Hill Farm shows in Durham in 2001 and 2002, respectively, the first one especially. In fact, that first one usually comes in second in my list of favorite concerts ever with my first R.E.M. concert (which took place at Duke in '86) taking the top slot. I posted some photographs from the fi...
Although I have seen plenty of great ones since then for some reason Bonnaroo 2003 always comes to mind. 2005 Bonnaroo was also great and maybe even better. Especially coming after the previous night in Huntsville when it seemed like everybody was still up. Two rock shows in 24 hours though. Check o...
I'll be in Penny Lane pregame. And maybe afterwards.I have faith that Patterson will be completely unlike the band who played my prom in that same room and did Dancing On The Ceiling. Looking forward to hearing some new songs tonight. Word.
Plenty of places to park although Friday Cheers will be in swing just a stones throw away at Brown's Island with Dawes set to take the stage around the same time as Patterson. Man I bet a ten o'clock start time would increase ticket sales big time. Who from the board is in for Friday's show?
I saw Casper play in there for the 1987 Lee-Davis High School senior prom. They did a mean Dancing On The Ceiling. I can't remember who played there for the junior prom.
Passing along from Patterson. This is a good one. I liked DBT before SRO but was enthralled as soon as I heard Days Of Graduation for the first time. As awful as it is like it was right out of my high school days: Hey Y'all, I enjoy the weekly analysis of songs. Sometimes I agree, sometimes, not so ...
Could be the best Saturday Night Live type sketch ever. So funny. Waking up in middle of the night...."people...I gotta take a...pisssss...." I might dress up as Paul Stanley stage banter for Halloween next year. And take a little taste of alcohoohooolll.
Lots of bands have dressed up like Kiss but how many have all just been Ace. Love Ace. And I really love some Paul Stanley stage banter. Never gets old.
