Well, first off, my car was in the front yard. And that always ends well.

It's because almost all of his songs are literal narratives. If Billy Joel is going to sing a line about a kid jacking off, he's going to spell it out.

3/10 - Ha Ha Tonka and The Shins
3/17 - Spoon and Conor Oberst

From Isbell's interview with EW: “I try to document where I am in my life and right now, one of my primary concerns is, ‘What is my role as a white male in a society that really is in dire need of understanding and empathy for people who aren’t white males?'”

(At least for that album. Like anything collectible I'm sure there's rare, sought-after pressings that niche nerds would shell out for.)

He's one of those artists where his biggest "hits" aren't really his best songs. Maybe like Billy Joel in that way.

Bob, we all knew you were a travelin' man who'd one day wind up in Katmandu. But for fuck's sake, share in that fine memory already.

Hi.
I just checked in.

Why? To see, well, I think you know what I checked in to see. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.

Also, I'm looking out for someone. Name is Rosie. She had a line on something heavy, but we couldn't reach her.
