Jackson, MS's Next Mayor

War Wagon · Post by **War Wagon** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 1:24 am

I've driven thru Jackson, MS on the way back from a softball tourney in Columbus, GA about 10-15 years ago. Total shithole, like New Orleans post Katrina except they didn't need a hurricane to make it so.

Anyways, this is the only reason Jackson was on the map to me... tried to get Smackie to play it last Friday w/o any luck. So here/hear you go. I love this song.

There are too many good things about that song to list. Had not heard it in a while and the pics were great. Think I will watch it again. Tnx WW.

true enough, but I believe my favorite line is

"do you believe this man has gone as far as stealing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars and he voted for George McGovern for president"

still cracks me right the fuck up, it does.

There are quite a few things about that area that arent bad though I can only think of going in to Jackson once, for the zoo, and most the other times we just stayed on the lake..... which they called a reservoir for some odd reason

You may have topped MS in your ability to unite the board in hatred towards you.

Go fellate a Ma Deuce.

It is NOT fun to play. I like it, but I do NOT like playing that fucker. The ultimate in total redundancy.

I like the song, too, and DID play it a couple weeks earlier while Wags was listening. There's just too much music out there that should be heard, and playing the same songs repeatedly at the expense of not playing other good songs is just unacceptable to me. The request last week was for a Charlie Daniels song. I cued up "Long Haired Country Boy" because it had been at least a year since I last played it. Before I played it, Wags posted something that had a line from "Uneasy Rider" in it, which is Wags' code for "play that song." I acknowledged that the coded message was received & understood, but that I had other plans. Everyone seemed happy w/ LHCB when it played. I imagine even schmuck woulda liked it.

Hey, no complaints with LHCB here though I must be going senile because I didn't remember you had played that song a few weeks earlier.

How could anybody not like CDB. Here's a slightly newer version of the original, updated a bit fer the times. CD is a fukkin' genius.

This is why Arbitron had to go to electronic data collection instead of polling data. Notice how he said he didn't listen to country. Big difference from I don't like country.

Funny thing about these surveys, people lie. When Arbitron uses phone survey methods pop, R&B, and top 40 stations come out on top. Gather the info electronically from the same folks and pop and R&B drop while country skyrockets.

I doubt most drug dealers and their customers listen to country.

I also doubt country music is being played in Housing Authority Projects around the country.

Low IQ voters both.

War Wagon · Post by **War Wagon** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 5:11 pm

I wouldn't classify CD as country per se, more a crossover between rock, bluegrass and country.

He's an American classic original in the vein of Hank Williams, both Sr. and Jr. or even Johnny Cash.

Left Seater · Post by **Left Seater** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 5:43 pm

I would put all of those guys in the larger country genre.

Can't pidgeonhole CD in any genre, although he is more "country" than anything else. Best to just describe him as belonging to my favorite genre, that being "good" music.

I consider his music as Southern rock along the lines of the Marshall Tucker Band & Wet Willie, since it incorporates acoustic, electric, country, bluegrass, blues, and good ol' rock & roll. But you're free to call it what you like.

Agreed.

Yep.

Reading this got me to reminiscing about this New Year's Eve show at the end of 1973. Could have been an OD on Southern Rock, but it wasn't.

A long read, but well done.

I was already a big Dead Head at the time but went to this show for ABB. CDB and MTB opened. A pretty damn good New Year. Scroll way down for the set list. The Allman Brothers played for about 6 hours, not counting a pre-midnight intermission.

Very much in agreement here. CD is an essential part of Southern rock, which also encompasses Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet (though they are fairly bleh) and The Outlaws, as well.

Schmick is certainly allowed his opinion, as music is subjective to personal taste, but to hate country, pop and r & b as a blanket statement, reveals his ears as tin receptors.

Banging your head to pointless beats, while fat, drunk and stupid, is no way to go through life son.

Jay is right about MH. A few good tunes, but, they aren't in the same zipcode as CDB or LS.

So it's subjective but only good if you say so. You are one stupid fuck. Tall but stupid. How can you be so tall and yet so stupid. I know midgets that are smarter than you.

We all understand your code-speak. And we all understand your racist underpinnings. Just go ahead and embrace it. mvscal does.

You have nothing but assumptions.

Wags, I didn't say they were bad, just meh. A handful of decent tunes, but they simply don't compare to LS or CDB or even the Outlaws.

They're okay, just not one of my personal favorites.

As to the wee-man's remark, subjective is what it is, you like something or you don't. But negative blanket statements reveal a couple of things. One is that you are either unfamiliar with a genre of music. Or you have heard one or two tunes, didn't like them and trashed everything else in that style, say pop or country, without ever listening to any other tune. There is also being narrow minded or fixated on only one style, being oblivious to the fact that if you just gave something else a fair chance, you might just enjoy it. Or not.

What I like or don't like has no relevance on anyone else's taste. Putting blinders on your eyes or, in the case of schmick, putting on headphones while listening to only one station your entire life, is the equivalent of locking yourself in a closet while blocking out the rest of the world, while saying "neener, neener".

But hey MS, you know all about closets and hiding, don't you little buddy? :wink:

Why? How do you know he hasn't listen to a bunch of it and doesn't like it? Is it subjective or not?

Jay in Phoenix · Post by **Jay in Phoenix** » Thu Apr 24, 2014 9:42 pm

Because he already said so in another thread. If he has listened to "a bunch" and doesn't like it, then...he doesn't like it. No harm no foul.

All taste is subjective, especially art, literature and music. Dismissing something without knowledge of what it is, or seeing it, hearing it or listening to it, is not subjective, just ignorant.

Like you. :grin:

Good god, that is one logic trainwreck of a statement.

How is that logical schmick? By what set of standards is it logical? If you don't like that kind of music, fine, just say so.

But you are making the blanket statement of negative overview that belongs to people who are uninformed, unknowing.

So where is the logic?

No sir, you typed "bleh" rather than "meh". While there may not be much difference between those terms, there is a difference.

Bleh implies disdain while meh implies indifference, at least in my book of red lined adverbs.

No matter, just the fact you mentioned them in the first place means they had your attention at one time which is a point in your favor. I like discussing music with you, same as I would Smackie or Van.

Did I not tell you to not get me started? This song is way beyond "decent". It's guitar nirvana, written by Greg Allman. Studio version, I can't find a clean enough live one. Btw, bleh or meh would apply to the band Nirvana.

I'm no great fan of country music, but I'll bet even schmick likes this song. How can one not? This may be the most covered song ever, at least in the last 25 years. And schmick, to not like something, you have to at least be familiar enough with it to know what it is about it you don't like.

Jay in Phoenix · Post by **Jay in Phoenix** » Fri Apr 25, 2014 1:25 am

Hey Wags, I concede your point on bleh vs. meh. Really, meh is what I meant. I saw Molly Hatchet live twice, both times as opening acts for other artists. Once the Doobie Brothers, the other for the Outlaws. The Doobies concert was freaking divided as hell, as MH was playing, their fans were seriously vocal. When the DB's came onstage, the Hatchet fans booed them relentlessly for the entire show. Pretty ridiculous, as the Doobie Brothers are a great band. Honestly, it put me off Molly Hatchet's music for a while, but ultimately, I found that I did like some of their songs. Just not that many. I will say I love the Frank Frazetta cover art on that album. I own a statue cast in bronze of the Death Dealer, as well as the original resin version.

Suffice it to say, Molly Hatchet did get my attention, they simply didn't hold it over time.

Schmick can enjoy his limited and sadly narrow field of music, if that makes him happy.

Munchkin Scales can piss up a rope and suck it dry.
