Live Nation has done more to destroy independent music venues than any other corporation. This is the first step in them encroaching on MKE’s booking independence.
I plan to boycott this venue indefinitely 🤠🎺
Kiss my ass Live Nation 😘🍑
Give Leo a break. It’s Monday 🎺

"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

"He sings through his nose!" My mother hated country star Ernest Tubb, BOTD in 1914, so of course my first country album was Ernest Tubb's Greatest Hits. I was lucky enough to see him perform in Gulfport, MS in 1981, shortly before emphysema took him off the road for good after a six-decade career.🧵

“ Fascism is fear bossing you. Fascism is worse than all of these things, and fascism is more closer to you than I can make you see. I’m trying to wake you up to tell you that you’re sleeping with something ten times more dangerous than a poison-fang snake in your bed.” – Woody Guthrie
