Wonder if it was the vaccine/testing or the masks? I could see getting annoyed as the pavilion about masks given that it is outdoors. But whatever, fuck them

Fuck them for not being able to implement the massive measures in 48hrs to check everyone before they enter an outdoor venue? OK.

I just got an email that the Ft. Worth show has moved to Billy Bobs.

Haha. Makes total sense. Sorry for those of you that have to go to that shitty venue.

seems a little out of character for him to be shitting on other artists who are in the exact same position he was 10 years ago. comes off a little high and mighty, not a good look imo. 

It's absolutely 100% in character.  Broussard came at Isbell, not the other way around, implied Isbell is an "elitist", "bourgois" (without knowing what the fuck that word means even when spelled correctly), etc.

Isbell has every right to protect himself, his band, his crew, and to whatever extent possible, the venue staff and his crowd.  I'm surprised anyone is surprised that he came out swinging.  You do realize he's a recovering lifelong bar-hopping drunk, right?  Do you seriously think he's never gotten in a scrape or a hundred?

Fuck Marc Broussard.

Don't start no shit, won't be no shit.

BTW, that fuckface Broussard, whoever he is, is a fucking moron.  In that thread, he said he'd never ask a fan to get tested, because if they tested positive, they would have to miss work.  Seriously, the motherfucker would prefer that sick people go into the job to infect others.  He's a fucknut and I hope he gets COVID and his lungs fall out. 

I definitely see how it would be difficult to implement changes like this quickly.  That said, if ACL Live could announce on Thursday for a Saturday show, I'm sure Cynthia Woods could have done it.  Even if they weren't notified immediately (which I doubt), I would think they would assume it would be the same case for them.  At least, they would have put in a call to the Isbell people last Thursday when they heard about Austin to check in.  That would have given them a week.  

I'm an Isbell and vaccine fan, so I am biased, but it seems with any sort of brain cells they would have known they would need to implement changes a week in advance.  If they wanted to, of course.

Wonder what happened?  If only surly had a local ER doc who could supply the details.  LOL

She wasn’t at the show Saturday but was there Sunday and looked normal then gone again last night and he said she wasn’t feeling well but that it wasn’t COVID or any virus. 
 

Appendix?

i strongly suspect that the 48 hours is bullshit, and any sizable live music venue that is caught flat footed after over a year of this bullshit should run their shit better. But it is a soft "fuck them" because it would be a challenge, yes.

Just caught the guy clark doc. Damn solid… about what you’d expect funny, sad, tragic, great music. Lots of TVZ. Also felt good seeing a movie in a theater for the first time in 18 mos.

Whooaaaaa.

Been looking forward to hearing this since I saw it listed as one of the tracks a few weeks back.

There have been some absolute dogshit covers on this upcoming Metallica project. This is not one of them.

hard to say it better than above:

“Kept true to the original, but totally made the sound his own.  I dig it alot.”

Sounds like a classic Metallica song and a classic Stapleton song. Very well done

Damn, she does not fuck around and find out.  She cracks me up.

Extremely disappointed that the Cynthia Woods show didn't happen, but I'm 10,000% in Isbell's corner. I had my vax card ready to go and it would've been the first show the wife and I had seen in 2 years. With so many behind us and so few ahead, the cancellation hit us a lot harder than I expected

I'll just put put the Southeastern vinyl on again and enjoy it with some liquor and my dog. Seems more fitting that way, really

Checked in to this thread a while back after listening to Sturgill's first two albums (the 3rd definitely didn't stick with me..... yet), but gave Tyler Childers' "Purgatory" (2017) album a listen after hearing Sturgill help produce it, and I liked that too. Definitely going to check out the 2019 project. I like his writing. 

2 "newer" (for me) country artists I like after a decade or more of ignoring the genre. Good stuff. 

Saw that Isbell was on CBS national morning news talking about covid concert protocol. Didn’t get to listen in though as my dumb job interfered.

Are we all going to skip right past the thing that makes him brilliant? There is nothing protecting us from loneliness in the constitution. That should be a lyric somewhere

*There is nothing in the Constitution protecting us from loneliness. 
 

Please donate my royalties back to Surly so that Immafax can afford a haircut. 

Just wanted to check out a couple songs before my work day got started, wound up listening to an entire hillbilly epic before sitting down at my desk and I regret none of it. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I yeehaw'd. 

I dig most of it. Short but good.

funny you say that.  got really fucking dusty in the truck when one in the saddle, one on the ground came on.  and now my first time listening to played out. 

you know what i dont want from sturgill, a song that makes me think about my dog dying but goddamn if its not excellent.

PSA: Sturgill will be on Steve Earle’s weekly satellite radio show Sirius/XM channel 60, 7pm central tonight 

talking about and playing the entire album 

I was listening to Tyler Childers and came across OurVinyl, which has a lot of really cool performances.  This is Tyler's set:

 

Through that, I also came across this woman, Morgan Wade.  Sounds awesome and really raw:

 

"My mind likes to talk about everything I'm not, and even worse, everything I am."  is just a killer line.
 
I listened to her debut album and it's....fine?  The videos with just her and a guitar are great though.

Whoa. I’m in for anything he wants to do.

My wife’s boss who is from southeastern Kentucky called it Appalachian Red Headed Stranger. I dig it.

Last Friday was a good day. Really enjoying the new Sturgill and new James McMurtry. 

Seeing Isbell here Saturday on the banks of the Susquehanna River. Rain is predicted but fuck it, I’m stoked. Will be my first show inse February 2020.

Finally checking Ray Wylie off the list to see in person tomorrow in Dallas.

Seeing him tomorrow night with a huge group of friends. Can’t wait.
