Reupping more piece in the run up to Veterans Day.

In the spring of last year I stumbled into the Scottish War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle and my reaction to the experience surprised me.

An hour and at least a mile later I still couldn’t shake the feeling of that place. The heavy sense of loss and futility and the gnawing question of “why?” would linger far longer than I cared to admi...

One of these days I should invite folks over to get loaded and listen to Silverada’s “Live at The Devils Backbone”

“The New South” has Waylon Jennings producing and providing vocals. Gregg Allman’s on it. Pretty sure they’ve got Charlie Daniels and some surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd too. Yet it doesn’t even have its own Wikipedia page.

I have none of these on vinyl.
I fucking need all of these on vinyl.
Really is a tragedy that Hank Williams Junior turned out to be a huge piece of shit because man “The New South” album is front to back one of the greatest country albums ever. That, “Old Habits” and “Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound” is an insane level of badass country songs.

I came up in the age of film and there’s just not enough photos of my time in the Army.

I should have taken So Many More.

And I should have kept the few I did have safer. There’s several I can’t find now and I regret that a lot.
My one regret and piece of advice for young service members is; don’t think that you’re too cool to pose for a photo. You’re doing some pretty incredible things and you’re going to want to remember it.
We were Soldiers once.

Anyway…
Veterans Day huh.
I’m the only one in my family who doesn’t have a day off.
November 11, 2025 at 2:01 AM
I did something a little different for a Veterans Day blog post and didn’t engage with the topic at all.

Not really.

Instead I did something related and deeply personal. I don’t know if y’all will like it but then again I never think you’ll like deeply personal stuff and yet…I keep writing it.

I’m beginning to think a small handful of folks here may have figured out who my spouse is.

Story’s pretty much locked in. I’m well under time. Debating about cutting my one “fuck” and keeping it PG. Got it memorized well enough I can look away from the paper without a major issue.

Kinda getting excited to perform in front of an audience on Thursday at 7pm

Maybe if I start muting “freelance journalists” I can quit seeing the same fucking political take over and over and over as nauseam.

Anyway, guitar?
Yea…I’ve been a good boy and played my acoustic. Time to plug in the telecaster and pretend I’m in Buck Owen’s band.

Fluffernutter discourse has gotten so disgusting I’m gonna have to go buy some Little Debbie Nutty Buddies to inoculate myself.
November 10, 2025 at 11:27 PM
I owe Gravel a debt of gratitude. My spouse was so disgusted by this they finally said “That’s it we’re going home!”

I’ll send you a Moonpie when I get there.
What if I dip my NECCO Wafer *in* the Fluff?

Tonight I’m working on The Everly Brothers “Down in the Willow Garden” because I find that simple 3/4 time haunting with that ringing bass note.

Bored.
Tired of the constant politics on this website but too lazy to change who I follow yet again so I’m just gonna out the phone down and play guitar.

I laughed a little too hard at Mark Briscoe holding a whole sliced ham in his bare hands.

I’ve really enjoyed these new AEW commercials.
Thanksgiving! It's that one time of the year that we all Conglomerate with the people we love – and with the people who aren't as easy to love.

Join the AEW family for Thanksgiving Eve #AEWDynamite on TBS and Thanksgiving Day #AEWCollision on TNT, both streaming on HBO Max!

All you need to know about New England and food is that they think this stuff is good and will actually use this amount.

Endlessly screenshot-dunking on Twitter idiots is annoying your followers and keeping the idiots famous. Whenever you feel like doing it, you should take a minute, breathe, and then approvingly share something I've written instead

Did y’all know there’s a mediocre cover of “Travelin Soldier” out right now? I do. Dunno why someone would look at that song and think “you know what this needs? Contemporary twist. Maybe pick up the tempo.”

Had an MRI today.

Pro tip: when they ask you what kind of music you like don’t answer “country music” if you don’t mean FM Top 40 bullshit or they will lock you in that tube for 40mins of Morgan Wallen bullshit.

Earl Thomas Conley’s “What I’d Say” is up there with Mark Chestnutt’s “I’ll Think of Something” as a suicide song.

Oh we’re gonna play “The Bird Hunters” back to back with Shooter Jennings “4th of July”

Algorithm wants me to sing in the gym today I guess.
