Good call. I think we got it.

Such an important question; who knew the answer was Foghat?

Other than Cooley, that is.

If you listen to the between-songs banter from the recent show in Philly (don't recall the specific song), Cooley says something along the lines of: "we're the world's best Foghat cover band"

I'm almost wishing I hadn't sought out "Slow Ride Argument", because now I'm worried I'm going to play it out before the album rolls out... love it... has that feel of a Cooley classic... having said that, I haven't burned out on any of his other songs yet...

With release of Adam's House Cat's "Town Burn Down" coming this Fall I'd suspect the earliest we'd see an album of new material would be Spring 2019. Probably more likely it'll be released the following Fall. But anything is possible I suppose.

The more I listen to more performances--dammit, where is that Macon show?--the more I think this:
And the ride from your baby's a hornets nest
might actually be this:
And the vibe from your baby's a hornets nest
The sooner we put those assholes in the grave&piss on the dirt above it, the better off we'll be

I think you're right. That first verse in the Charlottesville recording definitely sounds like "vibe."

From Instagram
Babies in Cages

The world wakes up this morning
I’m sorry for the news
Wrapped up in a tinfoil blanket without any shoes
Babies in cages

I’m sorry to my children
I’m sorry what they see
I”m sorry for the world that they’ll inherit from me
Babies in cages

Are we so divided
That we can’t at least agree
This ain’t the country that our granddad’s fought for us to be
Babies in cages
_______________________________________________

Surf’s up in the cities
Where the next wars will be fought
I”m sorry we’ve forsaken every word that we were taught
Babies in cages

I bang my head against it
Smash guitars and scream and shout
Standing on the beach watching the tide go out
Babies in cages

Standing in the darkness
to answer for our sins
Children changing each others diapers in a pen
Babies in cages

Thanks for posting those lyrics. The border issues have been bothering me so much that I called both of my senators yesterday.

I was with my kids in the library this morning and read these lyrics and teared up a little. Patterson really summarized the way I've been feeling. I'm too lucky and life's too easy. I can't imagine my children in a similar situation.

I'm hoping to hear Patterson preform this song tomorrow night in Florence!

Thoughts and Prayers

When the carnage was over you could hear the cellphones ringing
You could smell gun powder in the air
On the bloody ground LED’s were blinking
Deliver us from evil, thoughts and prayers

They’re lined up on the playground, Their hands all in the air
See it on our news feed and we cry out in despair
They’re counting up the casualties and everyone’s choosing sides
There’s always someone to blame Never anywhere to hide

Thoughts and Prayers Thoughts and Prayers

This white noise in my head, I think I need a filter
A pressure valve to keep from blowing up
When the shit comes down, I pray I can rise above it
Hold me close when I’ve had enough

Thoughts and Prayers Thoughts and Prayers
Glory Hallelujah You are in our thoughts and prayers

The Flat Earthist realized as he flew through the skies
The curve of the horizon as he fell
He saw the world was round, just before he hit the ground
And gravity called out to close the deal

When my children’s eyes look at me and they ask me to explain
It hurts me that I have to look away
The Powers That Be are in for shame and comeuppance
When Generation Lockdown has their day
Throw the bums all out and drain that swamp for real
Purp walk them down the Capitol steps and show them how it feels
Tramp the dirt down, Jesus. You can pray the rod they’ll spare
Stick it up your ass with your useless thoughts and prayers

Glory Hallelujah You are in our thoughts and prayers
Glory Hallelujah You are in our thoughts and prayers…

Live recordings on Archive.org as they show up. There are a few shows with Slow Ride Argument. Others will be showing up soon.

Aside from maybe the wage gap line, 21st Century USA should appeal to conservatives as much as us left-wingers. I'm excited about the Tom T-ish country sound on that one. Lots of shit packed into that deceptively simple song: stagnant wages, suburban sprawl/blandification, hook up culture, aforementioned wage gap, opiate crisis...
