I'm digging the sound man! That's some badass hillbilly rocknroll! I am a fan!

Someone should post up close to their vehicles blaring Ice, Ice, baby as loud as possible!

Anyone who makes a deal with the orange felon is a fool! He's better off taking his chances on his own!

He's probably got a point...

So you mean we aren't great again? I'd say when pigs fly but they are probably too scared to fly now as well!

Don't cut NPR and PBS funding!  Millions of Americans rely on public media  for their news and educational programming. In many rural areas in our country, public broadcasting is their main avenue for receiving news, emer...

The music biz is so twisted! You guys should have been huge, Horrorscope was one of the best records of that era!

Do tell....

You did not die....

I have been listening to your White Trash Revelry record and reading the backstory. First off, that shit absolutely slaps! That is one fine record!

You have some good points and I'm no white knight but I've been trying to deal with the conservative mindset for decades and it seems to continue to devolve. Maybe this won't end tragically but I'm hedging my bets. I hope you stay well and happy where you are and maybe one day we can all join hands.

He's good at pandering to peoples fears and telling them what they want to hear, true or not. Do Dems need to be better at messaging? Yes! Are Dems perfect? No! Are there shared values? Sure but if people stay willfully uninformed and vote to punish others I won't extend an olive branch

pronouns many of them would. The world may not be ending but if the Felon Elect gets his way, the world as we know it may well be ending.

I don't see much value in have an honest conversation about that candidate. He told us who he is, he always does. And people still voted for him, knowing full well it was going to hurt many people. No most of my neighbors probably don't want to kill me but if I had a different skin tone or different

There is no shared values with those people. Yes, throughout the country there were many more moderate people who voted for him but if you can look evil, greed, racism, and hatred in the eye and still vote for that, I'm not sure we really have many shared values.

There may be more racism and misogyny in America than a lot of people think. I've seen it. #7 Living where I do, I know a lot of people who voted for the Felon Elect. Many of them think Democrats are evil. Many others want to cling to a past where women and minorities were considered property....

#5 See #3. A lot of women were scared that Harris would ruin their lives. #6 The Felon Elect's message is appealing to a lot of white folks. Not me, I prefer honesty and helping people but being an older white dude from the Midwest, I have gotten to peek behind the curtain and it's not pretty.

I agree with #1 & #2. #3 is true but not so simple. They leveraged fear and lies (They're eating the dogs! They're eating the cats!) to convince a lot of people that they would keep them safe. #4 I'm not sure what you are referencing there so I can't say. I'd need more info on specific instances...

I have New Ways to Fail on my Hillbilly Rock & Roll playlist and that's an awesome tune! It sounds like I need to dig deeper into her catalog.

Awesome! Good to see you man!

I really dig Will Hoge! He's got a BlueSky profile but he doesn't appear to be active... @willhoge.bsky.social

One of my favorites from one of his best albums. Another hidden gem on that album is Death of an Unpopular Poet.

(This Is Not A) Song Of Hope (This is not a) Song of Hope Six million years ago they say we traded four for two No matter how far we've come we still don't have a clue Now big and dumb the dinosaur ruled a hundred million years

This is a song I wrote back in the late 90s (mostly) but I dusted it off a couple of years ago due to ongoing events and it really seems to fit the current state of affairs in our country.
