Got a fiver of the Odysseys coming, from CBid. Got it for $13.50 shipped, so I'm not jumping at these.
Have they shipped them yet? Morning, Bret.
Morning, all. Realized yesterday evening that we've got tickets to Brad Paisley tonight, along with two or three opening acts. So I've got that to look forward to! Mid day beer run - some for Scott, some for tonight - and call it a day.
Somehow I wouldn't have pegged you for a country fan. Paisley rocks. Amazing guitar player.
I'm surprised he's a country fan myself, not sure why. Maybe it's his punk attitude
Country and 90s "alternative", haha. So Braid Paisley, Jason Aldean, Darius Rucker... and then Hootie and the Blowfish, Better Than Ezra, Sister Hazel, Gin Blossoms.
Gin Blossoms. RIP Douglas Hopkins.
I knew him, Horatio.
Check out a contemporary of Hopkins....Roger Clyne. Started out in a little band called The Refreshments (remember 'Banditos'?). Now fronts RCPM.
Roger Clyne WAS The Refreshments. I never met Clyne personally, but I like his work. From what I know he was kinda the antithesis of Doug. Clyne was very attuned to that whole cowbilly ithing that is very much rooted in southern Arizona, and Clyne was a very disciplined guy. Doug was more conventionally pop, and ALL about the party.
