Cooley's static set list choices for the rock show is a big part of why I stopped traveling for the band. It's the same 12-15 songs from him every night. If Patterson is in a mood where he is also sticking to a core group of tunes, it's makes for a pretty unspontaneous show.

Cooley solo shows bring more of these around. But, there are so many GREAT underplayed Cooley songs - Cartoon Gold is Pure Gold. Hearing Jimmy Loud has gotten too quiet and Carl Perkins Cadillac has been parked in the garage. (I can go on, the Dad Joke power surges within my veins)
Love each other, Motherfuckers!

I believe there has been speculation that “Drinking Coke and Eating Ice” morphed into “Primer Coat.”

Not sure if that’s true. But could help explain where it went, if so.

On a similar note, I’ve always been partial to “218 to Denver.”
All it takes is one wicked heart, a pile of money, and a chain of folks just doing their jobs

Agree on 2:18 to Denver. Definitely had the makings of a classic Cooley song. Did it get played beyond the second Dirt Underneath tour? Perhaps one he thinks is unfinished, isn't good enough, or just hasn't fitted anything the band are doing.
