Which is a type of firing up... just in general I find it one of the best songs. Now, a song that would fire me up before a football game would be “god’s gonna cut you down.” That makes me want to smash some faces. I always thought Cash was like a country gangsta rapper.

It was originally intended for the working man, OTA... then the working man had to pay for it. I"m not a big country music guy but, no love for Willie? Love me some Willie Nelson. I’m also not a big country music guy, but the “outlaw” and Bakersfield sub-sections of country are great. Hell, old jukebox truck stop country is great, too. I guess I just don’t like modern, contemporary country, which I find to be just the absolute worst of the worst. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to listen to a lot of “new country” and enjoyed it then somewhere I realized it’s just trash. There’s some good artists and good music to be found, but for every Jamie Johnson (who I think is pretty good in general) there’s three Brad Paisley’s and their pop twang bs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more of an "Allmans, Goose Creek, Byrds, Grateful Dead, James Taylor" type of country music person but I don't mind some of the traditional stuff though... like you said, the modern ***** they have now is horrible. This is the original. I liked Frank, Al, and Dan the best but Cosell and Dandy Don were pretty good too. Never will forget when Howard announced that John Lennon had been shot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workingman’s Dead, as an album, is just exactly perfect. Once saw the Allmans and The Dead at Thr Gorge in Washington. One of the best afternoons of my life. As far as James Taylor, I could listen to “Carolina on my Mind” and “Sweet Baby James” on repeat all day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 The SNF song is forever terrible, but I still watch. Nothing was worse then the NBA dumping John Tesh's masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that you can "logically" see that I was funning at the beginning of this thread too ... had no idea it would become what it is lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be fine with just a random, different Johnny Cash song each week. Why do we need a specific hype song for football?? It’s football! The hype is built in. I would gladly sit and listen to Hurt in preparation of a football game. 3 hours ago, Logic said: That song, coupled with the right series of NFL imagery, would actually be pretty ***** powerful stuff. That is one powerful and fantastic tune. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've done it for a hell if a lot less.

TableDestoyer69 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 "Around 1956, Richard became involved with Audrey Robinson, a sixteen-year-old college student, originally from Savannah, Georgia. Richard and Robinson quickly got acquainted despite Robinson not being a fan of rock and roll music. Richard claimed in his 1984 autobiography that he invited other men to have sexual encounters with her in groups and claimed to have once invited Buddy Holly. to have sex with her; Robinson denied those claims." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Richard So they are replacing a racist with someone who wants to challenge sexual mores and lower the age of consent? Sounds pretty on trend for 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 10 hours ago, SoTier said: Hank Williams Jr was never a "truth teller". His "truth" stems from his dysfunctional childhood (he was touring with country western shows as a young boy singing his famous father's songs to support his family), his long time alcohol and drug abuse, his troubled personal life, and the era and place (segregated South) in which he grew up. PS - I really like Bocephus' music but that doesn't blind me to his personal failings. But it is still his truth as he see's it or in most cases of his songs lived it ! Oh most definitely Hank is a flawed human being as we all are i didn't mean to sound as if he was a super person that never did anything wrong he still struggles today with drinking from things i've seen . But he tells it like it is no matter how good or bad it might be and today that's not a acceptable action in some eyes.The truth shall set you free ! 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
