GREAT choice. ANYTHING that Warner Hodges plays guitar on. A few years ago, Warner was on guitar with Drivin'-n-Cryin. I went with a buddy and his wife. I told them...you guys can stand wherever you want but I'll be over her, in front of the stage on the left. His wife asked why. My buddy said, "Cause that's where Jesus stands."

Fitlump fucking won a Austin City Council seat, Now on to Congress 2026!
34? years old. Never had a real job. Doesn't have custody of her daughter. So many events of blatant lying it is hard to keep up. And every time I see her picture, I swear I can smell cat shit and sardines, with notes of ammonia and stale, moldy, magazine perfume samples.

Cali Hiker Found In Zion NP After Two Weeks
There are cell phone videos of everything. Bizarre that none have come out about her being found.

EVERYONE needs to own "Unshaven: Live at Smith's Olde Bar". Eddy at at the top of his game, with Keith Christopher on bass. Brendan O'Brien produced it and does a kickass job. Don't remember who the drummer is. And it also includes one of my favorite exchanges on a live record. Billy Joe says, "More beer up here". Then he yells, "Whoa....Don't throw it". I love the bartenders at Smiths. It is a balls-to-the-wall rock-n-roll, honky-tonk show.

Fuck. Todd Snider is really taking a hit in all of this. Prine: Todd was on Prine's "Oh Boy" records and toured with him constantly. Jerry Jeff: Todd's mentor Billy Joe: Eddy used to play in Todd's band. Todd wrote the fantastic song "Waco Moon" about Eddy's OD.

Tom Petty - Wildflowers & All the Rest
Broken Record podcast is having Rick Rubin interview different people about this. One was Petty's youngest daughter, Adria who was one of the forces of putting it together and yesterday was Benmont Tench. Both were just incredible listens. Adria found things that Rick didn't know existed and she knew a lot that Rubin didn't know. Fantastic inside look into Petty and how he worked.

Oooo....great question. I give the title to Paul Simon, due to his longevity and the fact that he makes money off of stealing other people's work.

The Guitar Pron Thread
I've posted this before, but about the time Mayer put out his very first record and just after he won an open mic/songwriting thing at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta, he was playing at another venue here. He threw a shit fit and started yelling at the young, female bartender because the 'green room' didn't have the brand of bottled water he requested. The 'green room' in question is 10x6, no door, one wooden bench nailed to the wall. It's a fucking closet..with no door. More than two people and it is full. He treated her like shit and he was a NOBODY at the time. Prior to that, he had been taking tickets at the door of Eddie's. A friend of mine tells me all the time, "When people show you who they are, BELIEVE them." Takes a big person to yell at a 21 year old girl because he didn't get his preferred brand of water. David Bowie played an unannounced show at this same room around that time and was gracious as hell to everyone at the venue. Fuck Mayer.

I don't know about Jack, but I don't think he could beat Mayer in a 'being an asshole' contest. And that is from before he put out his first record....I can't imagine Mayer is any nicer now.

Tom Petty - Wildflowers & All the Rest
American Girl is my all-time favorite song. The rest fluctuate...that one has been set in stone since.....forever. And I have long agreed with @MAROON that the Heartbreakers were the greatest American band. Beatles and Stones for England? People argue that. Only other band I ever thought to compare the Heartbreakers to was maybe, The E Street Band, but to me, they are a distant second. I've been listening to Mojo a lot lately. I relistened to it after seeing them on the last tour and it has been in constant rotation since. This was the only song they did from that album. Except Campbell was playing a Les Paul and it sounded like Jimmy Page, reincarnated. The girl I was with thought it was an old Zep song. It fucking ROCKED. The studio version pales in comparison. But it shall have to do.
