Calling you out? Oh no, no, no. You said you were wrestling with a life changing decision about moving to Nashville and playing rhythm guitar and harmonica with a well known artist. I was just wishing you luck with that,
And I still am and I still get monthly royalties off one song out of thousands I wrote. I fail to see your point. Am I supposed to feel wrong about that? I currently love what I do and I get paid for it so of course I won't throw it away. But in my spare time yeah, I work on my musical ability just like I work on my woodworking, plumbing, welding and electrical ability as a backup career. We never know when this world is going to shit, especially with trump, and I like to have an escape valves just in case.
My apologies. I'm just bitter that of the thousands of songs I've written I haven't seen a cent in royalties.
Let's all point and laugh for a second at what I believe we can all agree is a case of Darwinism: Because human stupidity knows no low, "raw water" is a trend. Here's the overview of the very bad no good horrible idea. At least there will be a lot of places for sale in silicon valley in a month or so, or less. Drinking water like that is akin to standing 50 yards away from someone and asking them to shoot at you with a pistol -- they might not hit you on the first try, but you're going down, hard, eventually.
The best comment I read on the Golden’s Globes was, “Did we witness 3-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis watch Tommy Wiseau go up on stage to accept a Golden Globe?” And in case there was any confusion of the timeline we live in, here’s Wiseau and Tonya Harding at a Globes after party:
Wiseau was on stage. But he was NOT accepting an award. Nor will he ever. It is great to see Franco back doing Award-bait roles, though. If any of you haven’t been to midnight showing of The Room, check it out. Wear a tux and bring plenty of footballs and spoons.
Sometimes I'm reminded how awesome Mississippi is. A woman that turns 100 tomorrow just bagged a deer. "I don't know why everybody is making such a big deal about it," Vickers said. "If I'd killed a big buck I could see it, but it was just a doe."
In goal setting, they say you should keep goals realistic. And I guess this works because this song is fucking terrible.
It isn’t hard to aim low when it comes to writing modern country music. All you have to do is take a crappy rock song, throw in a fiddle, and add a few key terms like “Keystone” or “Rack And Pinion Steering”. Or you could aim high, and write the perfect country-Western song:
Holy shit. She even took all the strings and bridge off to help. That thing looks like it was either run over, or tossed against a hard object with some force. I'm pretty sure those limited release forms don't give the carrier permission to go out of their way to damage your shit, which they quite clearly did. There's some more pictures here, which look a lot worse than the one in the article you posted.
Not to mention this is apparently the case she had it in. That case is designed to take some pretty hard core abuse and the airline managed to fuck it up too.
It’s not a “crash case” but still very tough and protective. You’d have to intentionally slam it to do that damage. Pathetic. There is no way somebody didn’t vandalize it intentionally. That is a priceless thing of beauty destroyed, somebody needs their balls cut off for it. Breaking a nice acoustic guitar is heresy enough. This..... what is this, even? Maybe they hired the background guys from this scene (0:20):
I mean something fucky happened with that case, and social media outrage will make them pay, but her screed about the need for special treatment for musicians sounds pompous as fuuuuuuu. There are premium choices, beyond the seat they offered to sell her, for transporting a supposedly 200k+ item. The world can't bend to the will of every asshole that has a high ticket item they want to fly with.
