Some people can change and evolve!

I've talked about my conservative upbringing in the south here many times, but I just had to share this bit of personal info with you guys because I'm laughing so hard right now...


My conservative mother, she's a incredible woman and she's actually opening up her world in many ways, texted me tonight and was appalled that someone had posted on her "Next Door" app that the WHO had said asymtomatic Covid patients couldn't spread the disease. This was a post in response to our counties recent mandatory mask policy. Now my mother is a simple country woman but I had to lol at her take:

"That’s exactly what is wrong with this whole thing. You got Orange face saying stupid stuff and all these Orange lovers believe every word that comes out of his mouth."


Lmmfao, my beautiful mother calling the Orange Asshole "Orange face"...I've never once referred to him as that to her. I have no clue where she got it, but damn I love her for that and for the fact that she sees this whole debacle for what it is.

FYI, she's already said she's voting Biden in the fall.

Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires "Live at the Brooklyn Bowl" 5/15/20

Posting this mainly for my man, mr Lebowski, but this is a concert done to celebrate Jason's new album release "Reunions", as well as an event to support a local Nashville venue affected by the pandemic. This is a phenomenal "concert" with just Jason and Amanda playing the album through acoustic. It's especially powerful considering the stress the album creating process played on both of them as individuals and spouses. For me, musically and lyrically this is the culmination of "Southeastern" and "Something More than Free" and "The Nashville Sound". The songs have even more maturity and depth than previous work and are extremely prescient. The acoustic atmosphere as well as the mainly Zoom audience adds extra resonance. Hope you guys enjoy!

An interview with Jason Isbell, on his new album "Reunions"

A great listen. "Reunions" is very different than previous JI400U albums, but it still is very, very good. If you like this, I would encourage you to seek out the NYT piece on Jason and Amanda, his wife, that focuses on the struggles they went through during the making of this album and quarantine. Both of them are incredibly beautiful and amazing spirts and we love them both...and a special shout out to Mercy Rose, perhaps one of the focal points of this new album...may she be blessed to follow her own musical path.

Has anyone else been approached to apply as delegates for the convention?

I've contributed to a few campaigns this season and one campaign has approached me a couple of times asking me to apply through our state as a delegate for their campaign. I was wondering if folks would be willing to share their experiences and advice in going through this process. Thanks so much

Have You Ever Seen the Rain?

Feeling melancholy. Perhaps it's the craziness in our world right now. This song has always brought me a measure of comfort. My dad used to play this on his guitar, and it was playing on the radio the morning I left the hospital after his death. I've always love it.
