  1. Fuck, forgot about another Drive By Truckers song. They wrote a shit ton of songs about other musicians. And not just a passing reference. Like a whole goddamn song:
  2. About Ronnie Van Zant and Neil Young More DBT/Jason Isbell about The Band's Rick Danko and Richard Manuel More songs about members of the Band - Elton John about Levon Helm More Jason Isbell about Justin Townes Earle Edit: Levon isn't actually about Levon Helm. Bernie Taupin just liked the name and wrote the lyrics to the song about a guy named Levon. Still, I think it counts.
  3. Music is important to me. Musicians that make the music that I like are important to me. Some songs/albums are more important than others, including: Social/Political Change: Billy Holiday - Strange Fruit Blowin in the Wind - Dylan Change is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke What's Going On - Marvin Gaye Fight the Power - Public Enemy There's a Riot Going On - Sly Stone Both Sides, Now - Joni Mitchell Innovation in songwriting/recording Robert Johnson Hank Williams Revolver & Rubber Soul - Beatles Bob Dylan - Pretty much everything he did in the 60s Jimi Hendrix Exile - Stones Redheaded Stranger - Willie The Ramones S/T Pet Sounds - Beach Boys Nevermind - Nirvana OK Computer - Radiohead I don't even listen to most of that shit regularly. But I recognize and understand the impact and importance of each in the evolution of popular music. There's a lot more shit but that's what I thought of off the top of my head.
  4. what the fuck was the mine mining for?
  5. That ought to be a fun one. Saw Sunny Day about a year or so ago when they first got back together at Emo's. Really fun show. Get Up Kids are always a good time too. Still haven't had a chance to check out your daughter's band, but it's on my list.
  6. I think the concern is how cavalier (see what I did there?) you are in dismissing this kid playing a "prank" on a teammate that could have killed him. That's some Joe Mixon/Sooner shit.
  7. Dude. Everything is OK. It was just a stupid prank. No football players will be held accountable for actions that could have killed a teammate. Nothing to see here. They apologized!

    BBQ

    The last time I went about 4 years ago I remember liking their sausage. And while don't typically put sauce on quality bbq, I do fucking LOVE their bbq sauce on a smoked chicken.
  9. I mean, if you insist on being "that guy" and creating a dish they don't serve, then I would get the two scrambled egg breakfast, smothered, covered, peppered and diced. I'm assuming you've done research to know that they have doritos (gross) so you could get a bag of doritos, crumble them into the mess of gross you just ordered. I don't think the cooks are gonna open a single-serving bag of doritos and do that for you. Or if you're committed to Frankensteining your order up, throw some tortilla chips in your pocket instead and bring them into the restaurant instead of crumbling a bag of doritos into the mess. Sub tortillas (if they serve them) for toast. Boom. You've got shitty migas. Or you could order something they're not gonna fuck up...
  10. Texas has combine participants at every position group on offense and defense except QB, who would have been there if he had declared for the draft, and P/K. That's how you build a fucking team. Have a guy who will play on Sundays at every position group. It's just that easy.
  11. He fisted his asshole. Allegedly.
  12. I buy the big-ass can of pickled japs and empty them in a large old pickle jar. The markup on the smaller jars of japs is absurd.
  13. I'm team "gravy on the side" so that the breading stays crunchy. White gravy and lots of black pepper. Don't need any more protein because I'm already eating a deep fried steak. I've had the cowboy style cfs from Matt's. It's pretty good. But when I go to Matt's (usually not my choice), I'm getting the asadero tacos, as those are the only true standout menu item that I've had there.
  14. Dude's got a last name for a first name and a first name for a last name.
  15. The placement of your taco fillings is triggering my ocd. You could have gone parallel with the longer direction of the tortilla for maximum filling, gone perpendicular for sturdier support and more tortilla wrappage, but instead you went diagonal AND off center and I truly hate it. But the taco looks tasty!
  16. I wonder if, at some point, we see the NCAA or some sort of governing body begin to require review and approval of NIL contracts to determine if the compensation a player is receiving is commiserate with the requirements. I could see the argument that paying a player $500k - $1m to perform menial and nominal tasks like tweeting endorsements of products, or making public appearances for non-profit organizations is not actual compensation for their NIL, but is instead a way to circumvent "pay for play". This would especially apply to collectives. That's the area where I can see there being scrutiny.
  17. Looked at their class to see if there was anyone we might want to raid and they only signed 10 kids this cycle. That's not good.
  18. Chicken wings. It's what I make every year.
  19. There is a high school football thread in this forum, FYI.
  20. Two of the three most productive players in the class were Roschon Johnson and Sweat. One was recruited as a QB and the other was the lowest-rated guy in the class. Whittington was a good player and a great culture guy. The rest of the class was straight ass, my dudes.
  21. You should try to be more condescending next time while simultaneously completely missing the point of the story. Very Surly on-brand.
  22. Seconded. Enjoyed Past Lives and Holdovers more than Oppenheimer of KOTFM. But I did like all 4. On that note, Past Lives was really, really good.

    So what?

    But... was he wrong? No. But he's probably an annoying dipshit in every other aspect of his life. But still, it's always great fun to see dumbfounded cops get put in their place. So today, I celebrate this man.
