So I met Steve Earle yesterday after a performance in Houston, and he's telling a few of us some stories about Townes Van Zandt. The guy is just fucking around on his guitar and telling us a story about life on tour, and I think it involved Townes somehow. It was some good shit, but I was drinking so much beer I can't remember anything he said, but it might have been pretty good because people around me were either laughing or crying. And I think one guy was doing both after he sang "Pancho and Lefty". I mean, I didn't cry at all but it was badass to watch him play.RATING: 92%
You lucky bastard.
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't want to rub it in, but it was pretty fucking awesome.
ReplyDeleteSteve Earle is badass. There was a flick at the Angelika Theater in Dallas a couple of years ago about Townes. It was pretty fucking cool. I'm way jealous.
ReplyDeleteTownes was a badass to the core, but so is Earle. I guess that just comes from living in Texas long enough.
ReplyDeleteY'all a fan of Justin Townes Earle?
Andrew, have you read Earle's essay about his friend's execution? He spent the week before his death with him, and also recorded his execution in Hunstville.
ReplyDeleteKinda' intense.
No, I haven't, but I just found it online and will read it soon. He also appears in Season One of The Wire, apparently.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess he played a drug addict. I just started watching random episodes of The Wire on HBO On Demand. I should probably start with Season One, though.
ReplyDeletenothing in this review happened famous people dont really exist (in our universe)
ReplyDeleteMan, this one just wooshed right over my head...
ReplyDeleteI think Steve Earle looks like Michael Moore in that photograph.
ReplyDeleteA little.
I'd love to go woosh over your head, Laurie. If you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteI doubt your girlfriend would approve.
ReplyDeleteDoes she have to know?
ReplyDelete{Following V.A.'s comment}
ReplyDeleteWhooo!
{Following Laurie's rebuttal}
Hahahahaha!
[Following Anonymous's input}
Whooo!
I stay away from either side of cheating. So you'll just have to find someone else to bring to your ass cabin, VA.
ReplyDeleteAlso, love the laugh track.
ReplyDeletehey do me r3 laff trakc
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the ass cabin, where the hell is Loco?
ReplyDelete*crickets*

ReplyDeleteoh thank god everyone is laughing again. cause I was worried. seriously shit
ReplyDeletecheating's not so bad as long as everyone involved keeps his or her mouth shut. really people.
ReplyDeletemaybe this will spark a new debate
Ohhh!
ReplyDeleteoh my do we have new fake personas all ready?
ReplyDeleteI guess it's no so bad if you don't give a crap about integrity. But wait, I do. So yeah, fuck that. Or rather, don't.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks for thinking of me, 'king 'drew. It's my summer, so I'm reading a lot, writing a little, and taking a two-week free Netflix trial whereby I can watch 7 successive episodes of The Office online. No ass cabin in sight, but I am going to Sewanee, if that counts. Viva l'estate!

ReplyDelete@ Loco
ReplyDeletesounds really relaxing. Hope you enjoy yourself.
@ Laurie
As long as no one gets in over his/her head and pulls the plug on the primary relationship, what's the problem? It's just sex. Men like variety. You girls shouldn't get all worked up over a little sex on the side. He'll stay with you because he wants to, regardless of the putag on the side. Love conquers sex everytime.
Dammit, Andrew, why can't you ever leave a comment up for more than 5 seconds at a time?
ReplyDeleteYou're going to Sewanee? Wow. Who's teaching there this year? I'm sort of jealous though actually I hate networking situations cause I usually drink too much and alienate myself. Do well. Find an agent. Be famous.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I.J. is still waiting in line to use that shitty '96 Dell. In the meantime, I've been reading one of his past posts, and missing him dearly.
that should be *putang*
ReplyDeleteSorry, Laurie. Had to revise.
ReplyDelete@bbbs: What if it's your lady having a little extra on the side? Don't mind one bit?
ReplyDeletenot as long as she doesn't throw it in my face. I don't want to know about it. otherwise it's cool. Obviously, she needs something I can't give her at the moment.
ReplyDeleteWell bbbs, you are clearly not the man for me. You are also the reason I don't trust men. Stupid, stupid men.
ReplyDelete{Hahahahahah! Wild Cheering}
ReplyDeleteYou should NEVER trust men. That goes without saying. BUT, the man who really loves you will stay with you, even if he's getting some on the side. DO NOT forget that! So, eh, what can I say, men want every girl they can fuck. But generally, only love one. I think that means something in the long run.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to be with this hypothetical man who loves me so much that he needs to fuck everything in a 100 mile radius. Do you get what I'm driving at here? I don't want this man to "stay with me," I want him to "get the fuck away from me." If you can't keep it in your damn pants then leave me and go acquire herpes on your own time. A man who loves me the way that I understand love wouldn't hide things from me, and if I have to die single because I expect a man to have as much integrity as I have then I will die single. Get it?
ReplyDeleteMan, if I had said that one out loud then everyone would be giggling at my Southern accent coming out because that's what happens when I get all fiery and mad. Can't wait to use that in court some day.
ReplyDeleteThat was a Southern accent?
ReplyDeleteIt would have been, if said out loud. I don't do that accent writing thang where ur all wooohaa country folk. Or whatever.
ReplyDelete@ laurie
ReplyDeleteWould you defend a scumbag husband who's being sued, for all he's worth, by his wife due to infidelity? Or would your scruples prevent that?
I'm too drunk for this conversation now. iwill answer you tomorroe
ReplyDeleteFamily law is not my area because of questions just like that. (Ditto, criminal law.) But I don't have a problem with the attorney who does. Everyone deserves a vigorous defense, regardless of how big a scumbag they are. I have a great respect for defense attorneys because of the high level of professionalism that it takes to separate your personal feelings from your work in situations like this.
ReplyDeleteI guess the parallel situation for me would be white collar defense (because commercial law is my area), which I've strongly considered trying my hand at. I know the world looks down on these attorneys most of all, but our system doesn't work without strong representation on both sides and a nice big Enron or Madoff trial would be a hell of an interesting challenge.
Guess I'll have to find another lawyer then.
ReplyDelete(just joking)
awesome this turned into another debate about cheating after i went to bed
ReplyDeleteif glen were smart, to up his coment count he wld just anonymously write "cheating rulz" in every post
ReplyDeleteI don't want this man to "stay with me," I want him to "get the fuck away from me."Haha Laurie that was awesome. So once again, cheating is great but open relationships threaten everyone involved and make no sense. I can't wait to retire and move to Florida... 30 Rock tells me it's still the 70s there.
ReplyDelete@loco: I absolutely died laughing when she said that on 30 Rock! All those swingin' old people down in Fla....haha..And yeah, I think a big part of my point with relationships is that the participants are obliged to behave in the manner that they have agreed to. If you want to fuck around, be honest about it and have an open relationship, but if you say you're going to be monogamous, than be monogamous. I really don't see what's so difficult about actually doing what you say you're going to do. This don't ask don't tell bullshit is just that. Bullshit.
ReplyDeleteDo you see what I'm saying here bbbs? It's not about sex, it's about honesty.
good point Laurie. but reality doesn't always work that way.
ReplyDeleteBUT your point is right on. I think I'm gonna role like that.
I'm gonna just tell her I'm gonna fuck her sister.
just kidding
what wld steve earle say about cheating
ReplyDeletewhat wld townes van zandt say about cheating
Yeah, "reality" doesn't always work that way because some people are fucking "animals."
ReplyDeleteI love how you put "animals" in quotes.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl
I get what Laurie's saying. I think part of the problem is a lot of people cheat not just because they can't turn down sex, but because they can't turn down sex AND they get off on lying or feeling like they "got away" with something. The latter is a much grosser personality trait, IMHO.
ReplyDeleteo sweet almost 24 hours and were still talking about cheating
ReplyDeleteanother 2 1/2 hours yall can do it i belive in you!
ReplyDeleteI just watched the season finale of 30 Rock and saw Steve Earle on there.
ReplyDeleteSo, yeah. Kidney Now!
