I'll give it a spin. I actually don't think I've ever listened to the whole record.
I guess that's the record they made right before Rhett got sober. I read an interview somewhere that Jason Isbell was a resource for him when quitting drinking/weed.
I mean, I get it. But if I want to listen to the Old 97s, I want to listen to the good shit that I like that got me into them. I know every note, every lyric to every song on their first three records. I dig Fight Songs and Satellite Rides, but don't listen to those albums as much. And Drag it Up was good but all I really love off that record is "won't be home."
Everything after that felt/feels like the Rhett Miller-easy-listening-pop-experience where the songs could be used in the reconciliation scene of a rom com.
They set a standard that was impossible to maintain.
I still want to see them live again though.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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...
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
