CULTURED: What’s one thing that you each hear the other person say a lot?

Jo Harvey: “Work.”

Terry: “Fuck.”

If you know anything about Cowboy Jamboree you know that Hank and Townes are our forefathers.

So happens we have an anthology of grit lit incited by Hank and an anthology of grit lit incited by Townes. Go figure: www.cowboyjamboreemagazine.com

Well the news is out all over town
That you've been seen out runnin round
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go, you win again

Townes Van Zandt was convinced he would die at 29 like Hank Williams. He didn't. But they did both die too young on New Year's Day, 44 years apart.

Gone on this day: two of the very best to ever write a lyric.

2025 is almost done. It was definitely a meh to shitty year in the world, but I did put out a book before it was done. Thanks to @LEFTOVERBOOKS for publishing it. If you've read it, perhaps leave me a rating or review on the Goodreads?

Went to check the propane pig. Took my 6 year old. 4-wheeler had a tough time getting through the 14" powdery snow. Got a little stuck turning around to come back. As we broke through and started back the 6 year old yells "This is something I'm never going to forget!" 🥲🖤

Dad woulda been 73 today. He was his own breed to be sure, and he still gives me stories to tell.

Hey Charlie, I think I'm happy for the first time since my accident
I wish I had all the money we used to spend on dope
I'd buy me a used car lot, and I wouldn't sell any of 'em
I'd just drive a different car every day, dependin' on how I feel
