"Daddy, why do you keep listening to that new @JasonIsbell record over and over?"
"Because he's such a great songwriter, little man. He's just amazing with words."
"I'm amazing with words."
"Oh?"
"I wrote a song, too."
"Dude, that's great! Show it to me!"
...
If you ain't found yourself fiending so hard in the middle of the night that you seriously consider robbing a pharmacy or stripping a worksite of copper, you can't quite grasp just how powerful "King of Oklahoma" truly is. Thanks, @JasonIsbell. #grateful #odaat
I can't quite express how overwhelmed with gratitude I am to work at a place that allows me to pitch ideas to the president like, "Ever seen 'Reservoir Dogs?' So here's what I'm thinking ..."
Thanks, @MaryvilleC and President @bcoker! Be sure and vote for us starting Monday!
We're coming for it! Last year, you helped us win the @GoOutAndPlay Top Adventure College trophy by voting for us over 31 competitors, and beginning Monday, we're going for two in a row. Help us out by choosing #MaryvilleCollege here! #GoScots

Speaking of strange: @MisruleofLaw is, as usual, demonstrates he only pays lip service to "freedoms" by excoriating @ShedJukeJoint for not policing last week's @Vandoliers show. Attacking private businesses is fair game as long as it feeds an agenda, I guess. #dragisnotacrime
Big love to @AdeemTheArtist for breaking new ground in country music with one of the best records of the decade. If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'.

Classic gaslighting behavior: stir up division and hate, and when your words have consequences, blame it on the other side. As @thejeffbarbra says, hate has no place in our town, and these carpetbaggers can take it elsewhere.
“If you're on the side of people who are flying a swastika, in my opinion you might want to rethink your views," Wildsmith said.”
I completely agree with @TNRockWriter on that.
This hate has no place in my hometown. Love always wins. ❤️🙌

.@TheJeffBarbra and @SarahPirkle are as kind and passionate about East Tennessee as they are talented musicians. Stay tuned for more Behind the Barn, monthly at Bluetick Tavern.
Big thank you to @TNRockWriter for doing such a great job on conveying how much @sarahpirkle and I love making music in our little hometown, and how much it means to us that we get to do it at the iconic Roy’s Records building.

.@AdeemTheArtist is one of the best songwriters in Knoxville, & I'll stand on R.B. Morris' coffee table in my cowboy boots & say that. If I owned any. Which I don't. Apologies to @SteveEarle for appropriating one of the greatest quotes ever. ANYWAY, go to Blount Pride tomorrow.

The superbly talented, always affable @pattersonhood and I chatted recently about the making of "Welcome 2 Club XIII," the latest by @drivebytruckers, who plan on tearing the roof off @ShedJukeJoint on Saturday. Dig it.

Enjoyed my chat on Monday with @TerriClarkMusic, whose affability (only eclipsed by her talent) makes her the ideal @WestwoodOne radio host. She's performing for the @UnitedWayBlount fundraiser on Saturday at @ShedJukeJoint. Check it out.

.@MisruleofLaw blocked this "leftist activist posing as a reporter" a while ago, because he can't handle being called out for his raging phobia and loathing of all things LGBTQ. Here he is, once again, screaming into the void because a newspaper dares to cover the news.
Here's your semi-regular reminder that @misruleoflaw is so obsessed with LGBTQ people, events and issues that he attacks any publication discussing them and the advertisers who support such publications. People like him are the reason Pride events are necessary.
There's a big ol' punk and drag flea market taking place Saturday at @SouthlandBooks' The Bird & The Book, and we've got the skinny from @CoffinCurseKnox honcho Mike Billups. Ten bands, a drag show, 30 vendors, tons of fun. Dig it.

Any day a dude gets to chat with @george_clinton is a good day. He's bringing P-Funk to @ShedJukeJoint on Friday night, and listen up: "Bring two booties," he says, because you're gonna dance them both off. Interview:

Today's been a shit news day, so take some you time and read this piece I did on @superdrag_sound for @BlankNewspaper, preferably while you crank one of their records. It'll be a lovely distraction, promise. Thanks to Rusty for the real estate.

.@TheeBikiniKill had to cancel its Monday Knoxville date at @TheMillandMine because of COVID, which sucks a rain-soaked gutter sock, because Kathleen was a blast to get to interview. You can still read it, tho, and crank "Rebel Girl" loud as hell.

Super pumped to have written a 4,700 word treatise on the life and times of the boys in @Superdrag_Sound. Hell of a hang, and I'm stoked to have been writing about them collectively and individually for 20-plus years now. Read it in @BlankNewspaper on Friday.
Check for us in the new issue of @BlankNewspaper or online Friday at blanknews.com Big thanks to @cadencecaptures @TNRockWriter @LostNFoundRecs
A Saturday well spent hanging with the boys in @superdrag_sound. Story incoming soon from @BlankNewspaper. #superdrag #vibecity
Two comedy rules @billengvall lives by: be relatable and be clean. It's made for a pretty good career for 41 years, and it was a great time chatting him up about his show on June 10 @ClaytonArts.
