    No one has been brave enough to tell me that jesus/god/santa claus will cure my type 1 diabetes. I suspect my reaction would make it somewhere on the internet.

    Did they hand out Naloxone? I saw the Bouncing Souls a couple months ago, and Punk Rock Saves Lives had a table at the show. They were giving out Naxoxone (i think) inhalers. I made a donation and chatted with them for a while. Also, I got the Pumpkins tomorrow night at dos equis in dallas. Should be a very comfortable 105 degrees. Outdoor shows in Aug make me rethink my life decisions. Rival Sons and Interpol opening for them.

    This song is what art is supposed to do. It’s making me think. Most songs and artists that dip their toes into politics stay true to one side or the other. My worldview doesn’t align perfectly with one side or the other, and it’s changed over the years. I suspect many people have a similar experience. This song differentiates itself by the artist’s honesty of his worldview. I suspect he knew this when writing the lyrics. A new artist introducing himself to the world knowing he could piss off literally every listener. Honest and brave.

    I take it as song expressing the frustration of the modern American experience, or 1970’s American experience, or 1930’s, or the robber baron era, or any era. It’s a great song that aligns with talking points on both sides of the aisle. Brave in today’s environment.

    Best Rock Vocalists

    GenXer replied to ztejas's topic in Music

    Seconding Steve Perry I’m gonna get roasted for this. I listened exclusively to alternative in the late 80’s / early 90’s. An encyclopedic knowledge of 120 minutes-esque bands. But, at the end of the hair band era came the one hit wonder - Skid Row. I submit Sabastian Bach. I Remember You is a guilty pleasure of mine.

    Red Clay Strays showed up in my IG feed this morning. Never heard of them before. Lead singer channeling Stapleton. Devil in my ear seems to be a new song for them. They have a few shows in Texas in the coming months. I’d likely catch their show on McKinney in Sept but it’s the same night as pearl jam in ft worth. They have a show in deep ellum in nov. I’ll likely go to that one.

    I normally drive to AT&T. The masses exit from 30 on the north side of the stadium so it’s a bottleneck. I live far north Dallas and take George Bush there. I pass 30 and come in from the south side and park in lot 13. My phone notes: Take George Bush tollway south/west Go past I-30 exit E Division St turn right and go west about 3 miles turn right on AT&T Way Section 13 is on right (past section 14) I live in Dallas so I can’t recommend any hotels near the stadium. That being said, Arlington lacks… umm… charm. To put it nicely.

    I found this to be an integral part of the storyline. Just kidding. Kinda. The inquiry room sex was pretty important to show the wife’s loyalty to oppe.

    I’m with you on the background music. At times, it drowned out the actors’ lines. I got to the point where it was like a laugh track for me; all I heard was the heavy-handed background music rather than the lines. I’ll likely watch it again on netflix or whatever streaming service shows it with subtitles. The beginning of the film seemed to chop off the actors’ line delivery between oppenheimer and his wife/girlfriend/whatever. No nuance for the actors’ delivery or response. I don’t understand the great reviews.

    I think there’s a lot of great new music. I asked my Gen Z kid what his all time fav song was. Sabotage. Beastie Boys.

    I have tix for the toadies in plano on sat night but I may have to skip it. I’ve been traveling M-F each week for work the past four weeks, and it’s time to spend some time with the wife.
  18. GenXer
    Got my eye on that one as well

    I don’t know any of their songs. I haven’t listened to radio since around 2005; I only listened to alternative rock stations before that. I know nothing of the chicks audience. I was shocked and looked around the audience with disbelief and judgement when so many people were singing along to four non blondes before the chicks’ set. Why would they play that horribad song between blondie, benatar and joan jett? I get the female empowerment thing but that song is a 90’s embarrassment.

    Oh. So you were the other guy at the show.

    Anyone finding inconsistent dying with tecovas? I’ve been to the austin and new dallas store at northpark, and tried on two different styles of boots. Both had dye issues. I thought there might be a difference with the online orders. Apparently not. I just received a pair I ordered online and the dye is inconsistent. This year, I’ve bought 1 pair of Rod Patricks, Cueros, Rios, Chisos, and 2 pairs of Heritages in a variety of skins. Only Tecovas have the glaring dye issue. I’m disappointed because I like them but the dye issue is a non-starter.
