drive-by truckers - awaiting resurrection (studio-2020) new DBT, pretty damn epic ...

this is the album closer, these are its last lines ...

Something about it reminds me of like a very dark Eagles song. Patterson sounding a bit like Henley definitely contributes to that.

There's a whiplash in the news
In the evil mans tirades
The jokers motorcade
And military parades
Lives in the balance of the dirty deals
Made to win elections

Guns and ammunition
Babies in the cage
They say nothing can be done
But they tell us how they prayed
In the end we're just standing
Watching greatness fade
Into darkness
Awaiting Resurrection

a song that touches upon the principles of being liberal in a beautiful way ...

I present to you ... the 2010 song Don't Carry It All by The Decemberists.

Link to song after lyrics. Trust me, this song is awesome, you'll be glad you listened

here we come to a turning of the season
witness to the arc towards the sun
a neighbors blessed burden within reason
becomes a burden borne of all and one

and nobody, nobody knows
let the yoke fall from our shoulders
don't carry it all
don't carry it all
we are all our hands and holders
beneath this bold and brilliant sun
and this I swear to all

a monument to build beneath the arbors
upon a plinth that towers towards the trees
let every vessel pitching hard to starboard
lay its head on summer's freckled knees

and there a wreath of trillium and ivy
laid upon the body of the boy
lazy will the loam come from it's hiding
return this quiet searcher to the soil

so raise a glass to turnings of the season
and watch it as it arcs towards the sun
and you must bear your neighbors burden within reason
and your labors will be borne when all is done

Just got scheduled for my Stimulus Deposit/Payment in a couple days

2019 Filer, DD info input via the IRS Stimulus Portal (not through the tax submission).

Assuming it happens, that would be a 13 day turnaround from when I provided my DD info to the portal.

If that helps anyone
