So I started coming to Nashville around 1990, with a friend from back home. There was this movie poster store, called Cinemonde(if memory serves). My buddy bought this HUGE Buck Owens poster(I can't remember what it was advertising, only that it was like 6' tall). My friend bought it for about $70. He did his homework, and got a hold of Buck's people in Bakersfield. He mailed it out there for Buck to sign. Buck fell in love with it, and wanted it for his Bakersfield club(Crystal Palace - again, if memory serves...I've never been there). Well of course my friend didn't want to give it up, but it WAS Buck asking! Well, they got online and searched and searched, and finally found a 2nd one! So they bought that one for Buck. Buck signed his and returned it, along with a bunch of Buck Owens/Crystal Palace swag. I remember a Crystal Palace watch, and there were several other things. Well, Buck's secretary was "Lou Ann", and that's how I was able to get in touch with him and his people.

To me, these new country stars.... are neither(country or star!). I've done sound for Miranda and Aldean. They're so protected by their entourage, that it's barely possible for even people working on the show to have contact with them. I had been in Nashville a week before the Miranda show, and picked up a free local music magazine, with her on the cover, and did manage to get her to autograph it. Which was an all day feat, on my part. Had to wait for that 5 second window of opportunity, before her "handlers" got in the way!
Yes, she's had a few songs that I liked. Her first big hit, she ripped off from Steve Earle(who used to be country, before he was completely bat**** crazy). As soon as his people heard it, they fired off litigation, and her people realized it WAS too close to his song, and offered up a 50/50 royalty split. So he got half the royalties from her song!

I need to...
reorganize the vinyl lp's in my spare bedroom - I inherited ALL the vinyl that belonged to my Mom/Dad - so I have a great collection of classic rock, surf music and 60's era county/western music...and of course Dad's massive Elvis collection.

Well about that. I have 2 copies of the pink "Legendary Christine Perfect" reissue and those are the ones I play and play and play. Then I have the 180g Audiophile pressing and now this one. So there's no fear of me wearing a valuable one out.

Steve Earle is batsh*t crazy. It's industry knowledge. And I KNOW I've shared my story of working for him, on here, and his tour manager taking me on his bus, for him to autograph my guitar(a $1200 Takamine - not some $20 piece of sh*t), and all he had to say, was(VERY audibly to all his band)"I f*ckin' HATE these Japanese pieces of ****". (I left, mouth open, and of course speechless! after he signed it) ~Thanks Steve, I'd purchased every single CD you've ever released....oh, and btw, NEVER ONE SINCE. Oh, and f*ck you~ is what I should have said.

Well my date was suitably awkward. He's a nice guy but he's so bloody quiet. It was left up to socially awkward Penguin over here to colour in the gaps. It turns out we have very little in common aside from a vague interest in art on his part and a vague liking of Pokemon (He's obsessed) on my part. He was a laugh though. I had a decent time. But it ended with "Right...See you then" from me when I got on my bus so I doubt it's going anywhere soon.
To kick things off, when I was waiting for him at the bus station a Tramp came over to me and stroked my face. That was weird. |

JTIS that I was filming some bunnies today in conjunction with the RSPCA and the Manchester Museum. If I had the money to give him the life he deserves, I'd have brought home a giant lop named Elvis. Alas it wasn't meant to be, but I got to have a cuddle of these week-or-two old rabbit kittens ♥
Yes, those are massive circles under my eyes because I stayed up last night theme-ing my Tumblr and had 5 hours sleep last night. |

I really love some of Miranda's stuff though. A lot of her lyrics are very clever and the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Revolution albums in particular are fantastic, as is the Pistol Annies record. I heard about the writing issue regarding her song Kersoene and Steve Earle's I Feel Alright when it happened. I really like both songs.
