I been waitingggg ah hii eye
I love this stuff. I can’t help myself.
This starts as Scott Joplin meets Franz Liszt. About :40 seconds on it seems like maybe they’re dropping acid and by 2:15 or so it seems like the worst acid trip ever and you want to go rescue them but you can’t. The very end is written for, if I recall correctly, seventeen hands. Amazing. I look at the end of my arms and I only have two or three hands…
Music over my head!
Lot of Lech Walesa in the music vid. Learned quite a lot about him and the Solidarity Movement at The European Solidarity Center today. I mean it’s really more the Polish Solidarity Center but I guess they had to expand the scope to get funding or something.
Let’s make the time tonight. Victory tonight is mine.
Good Lord, it’s gruesome here in Tulsa. 107 degrees and not much relief until next Sunday. So I’d like to send this one to whomever else is in the throes of this heatwave:

You’re working your ass off and you’re worked up about Epstein’s island and fat people?
I know he’s talking about fat people on welfare but, just like section 8 and poor people, it’s really about fat people or poor people as a whole, but you can’t be like “fuck a whole class of people”. You can be against government programs though so poor people and housing become "I have nothing against poor people, but section 8 users… " And fat people becomes "I have nothing against fat people but fat people who use welfare to get fat… ".
In any case while he’s shitting on fat people in general still something funny about a guy who’s an avatar of the forgotten man singing specifically about fat people on welfare.
This is the the first time I have seen a music video from Live and even the first time I’ve seen what they looked like
I thought he had a good voice.
But I’m sure everything you said was correct. Its all about getting those 2nd and 3rd clicks for him so I’d imagine it’s all potlically driven for maximum hysteria.
Im also a Dwight Yoakam fan but I couldn’t tell you wtf he talked about other than guitars and Cadillacs.
