  1. I remember essentially cutting out on JRE when it went to Spotify exclusively. It was a combo of just preferring the Apple Podcast for keeping track of pods, and all the whining he'd been doing about the COVID lockdowns. He was inserting more and more of himself and less of letting the guest talk. He'd constantly get side tracked whining about lockdowns and cancel culture and all I could think was "you're a fucking millionaire 100x over and ain't no way you're getting canceled for this stupid shit you say". I just lost interest completely.
  2. I needed that to remind me that I wasn't some red pilled nutjob when I listened to JRE. That idiot's the one who changed.
  3. I know some people hate Far Away Eyes because they feel like it's mocking country music, but I just can't relate to that. The Stones clearly loved country music, and they loved it so much they made it better than a litany of American artists that actually call themselves country artists. IMO their top 5 Country Songs are as follows: Dead Flowers Wild Horses Let It Bleed Far Away Eyes Sweet Virginia That can go shoulder to shoulder with a lot of the greats of country's top 5, and I say that as an avid fan of country music.
  4. Maybe it's just because it's Monday, maybe I'm just dumb as rocks, but I'm scratching my brain on this one.
  5. This definitely would take some of the fun out of being a hot shot college athlete today.
  6. Back in my trading days, any RR tion was about as prized of a get as I could come across.
  7. Had the exact same thought. A lot of those I haven’t drank since I was 19
  8. I stopped at Zilker last time I was in Austin (en route to 2018 Alamo Bowl). Damn good beer.
  9. Nah. I want Utah to hang around long enough to get their shit shoved up their asses in one of the numerous Plains backwaters they're so opposed to associating with.

    I would have loved to hear the Mats play World Class Fad.
  11. The only thing it's missing are his reaction tweets from when the schools actually left.

    Bumping this thread. What are people's thoughts on Westerberg's solo material? I've been down that rabbit hole a ton lately and while I don't think he made any great solo albums, there are absolutely staggering songs littered through that solo career.
  13. Yeah, I wouldn't call Prince (or any solo artist) a front man. Mick's the goat on the front. I think Plant, Daltrey, DLR, Bon Scott are all in the conversation, but it's absolutely Mick. I love Rod and the Faces, but he was onto the solo thing so quickly that I don't view him really as a front man even though he was for a couple of years.
  14. Same, but I also know lots of guys who work at the co-op or a factory and drive big diesels just because they have small dicks.
  15. Clemson’s fatwa on the Big 12 is taking down future members now
  16. Absolutely. I'm not quite exactly sure on the timing of him and Keef becoming buds, and if it precedes Beggar's (which is IMO their first real foray into country) or if he showed up prior to LIB. Either way, their friendship took Keef way down the rabbit hole and gave rise to the best country music ever made by people who weren't from North America.
  17. Yeah, having recruiting connections in both Texas and the Midwest makes him a really, really good fit in Stillwater.
  18. Dudes who drive diesel pickups and never pull anything with them are definitely a trivial thing that makes me surly.
  19. I think they've been distributed nationally for a long time. Our small town grocery store in north Iowa sold them in the 80's-90's when I was a kid.
  20. With diesel farm equipment we almost never shut them off to fuel mid-day, due to the low risk of diesel igniting and the wear and tear saved on the engine. But with gas, I won't fuck with an engine running while fueling.
