Hell yeah, Willie Nelson and Shooter Jennings covering Jason Boland & The Stragglers

Morgan Wallen on vinyl is hysterical to me, fairly confident the Venn diagram of Morgan Wallen fans and vinyl lovers has no overlap
Metallica at the Sphere this fall but they just use Kenny Chesney’s graphics
The only thing worse than sitting near chompers at a concert would have to be sitting near Barstool chompers at a concert
I have thought long and hard about this and realized that Pink Floyd would’ve been the greatest Sphere band
There is a 100% chance one of the Phish Sphere shows is getting a More encore
Imagine working on the visuals for the Phish Sphere shows and coming up with an idea so unhinged the band (or Mike) says no
Is Phish going no repeats for all nine Sphere shows? Or just for each 3 show weekend?
Every time I hear Runaway Train by Soul Asylum I get that great memory that the video lead to a number of missing children being found
I love that Bruce Springsteen’s concert attire in 2026 is basically maître d’ at a high-end steakhouse
If Tom Morello is going to sit in with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band they should have to play a Rage Against the Machine song
Pretty sure (checks notes) every Rage song would fit the current protest theme Bruce has working
Top 3 songs of 2026 so far as the first quarter of the year ends
Make America Fuk Again - Johnny Blue Skies
Randy Walters Is a Son of a B!tch - Afroman
Transmission - Bob’s Burgers (Joy Division cover)
My main takeaway from all the Hank Jr vs. Hank III discourse is that the world is long overdue for a fourth Hank Williams
Rooster is giving Love Story a run for its money in the song selection department
Was not expecting to hear Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down by Kris Kristofferson during Project Hail Mary but it was perfectly placed in the film
Caamp dropping their NPR Tiny Desk concert is great background music to end the work week
Caamp: Tiny Desk Concert youtu.be/J1vTi9ycpiA?... via @YouTube
Petition to re-name the Streisand Effect to the Afroman Effect or at least the Streisand-Afroman Effect
Wasn’t sure what Afroman’s lawyer would look like but he definitely has the beard of a first amendment scholar
Did not wake up this morning expecting to go down a thoroughly entertaining Afroman rabbit hole that also involved constitutional law, but I now have Lemon Pound Cake stuck in my head
Have another 7 hours or so left in St. Patrick’s Day 2026 to safely listen to Funky Ceili by Black 47
Another random tune that became an unexpected MTV hit (probably because it mentioned MTV)
There are so many songs about falling in love but still only one song about getting black out drunk on wine made with gigantic watermelons and having to do a special crawl home
Being able to sing Sold (The Grundy County Auction) by John Michael Montgomery karaoke without fumbling a line might be the biggest flex possible
Trying to figure out which mainstream country artist is going to take the wrong ideas from the new Kacey Musgraves and Sturgill Simpson / Johnny Blue Skies albums and release a godawful album
Working on my cover band idea - Widespread Panic at the Disco
Can’t decide if it’s going to play 20 minute jam band versions of 3 minute pop punk / emo songs or 3 minute pop punk / emo covers of Phish, Dead, Goose, and Panic songs
The musical equivalent of Tage Thompson ripping non-stop clappers is what Sturgill Simpson / Johnny Blue Skies just did with Mutiny After Midnight
Pancho and Lefty
reddirtandjam.ghost.io/pancho-and-lef…
Going down a rabbit hole of Townes Van Zandt's Pancho and Lefty and its endless cover versions, Dead Flowers, Racing in the Streets, and why no emo / pop punk band has tried to cover Pancho and Lefty
Predicting it now for the rest of the Saturday Night Live season (or maybe the fall):
Goose will be a musical guest
and
Ella Langley will be the next country artist to perform
Today bands have to consider SEO when naming themselves - like Caamp and Chvrches - but in the 1980’s you could straight up just name a band ‘The The’
Working on some unsolicited ideas for John Mayer’s next side project:
John Mayer & the Wailers
John Mayer’s Almost Phish
Sob Rock Revue
Johnnie & the Blowfish
Van Mayer
