Gee when Chomsky says that sort of thing, people paraphrase it as: "We got what we deserved."

My parents went to see him at the Clark County Fair 5 years ago. I was *too cool* but walked in to meet them while he was playing his nth encore, "please don't talk about me when I'm gone". I was thoroughly impressed and am a fan to this day. C!

Closed circuit to Will: seems that way -- Greg is moving to North Carolina from what I hear.

The Party's Over needs a deluxe reissue.

two years pass...
i've been listening to "You Look Like the Devil" a lot lately... I think it's my favorite Willie vocal performance and such a lovely song. But it doesn't make a lot of sense; who's he singing about? How does he know what the subject looks like "in the morning" if he only met them yesterday? (and what's with the "I've met you" instead of "I met you"?) For awhile I thought it was about a politician... and then a prostitute... but whenever I think I've got it figured out there's always at least one line that doesn't really work.

regardless, the way he sings "holdin' hands and kissin' everybody" always floors me.

In my 2017 country Spotify list, whenever a track from Willie’s “God’s Problem Child” album pops up it’s great enough to make me want to pick up the LP. Superb guitar playing and his voice still sounds fantastic. He’s not Al Green-smooth like he was back in the day, but his phrasing and emphasis and the irreplaceable Willie-ness are still on point.

he frequently pops up in my release radar (seems like an album a year) and it's always good

one month passes...

this guy is so classic, always a joy when he pops up on my release radar - like he did today with the delightful call to democratic arms: "Vote 'Em Out"
