That’d explain why I haven’t heard it before. Furthest east I’ve traveled is the Texas end of Louisiana, despite occassional curiosities.
And it basically means ‘yall’?

Sorry…“yinz”? Where is that a thing? Never once heard it used in my life

I have been known to think and act with hope-clouded vision at times. Iit is known. I think you’re right, but will continue to choose to hope for the better of people, because I believe that hope, sometimes even the irrational varieties, is the fertile earth from which necessary changes most often grow. It is sometimes even the only ground that positive change can take to at all. If I keep at it on my end while enough others do the same on theirs, a better future will be made that much more accessible to everyone.
With that mindset, I don’t feel I have the time for cynicism past a certain threshold, and I am pretty certain that can be an invaluable asset in the right hands. Hopefully myself and enough others have such hands rather than these allegorical paws. Thanks for filling me in on that btw. Your comparison with it was spot on.

Such control over their medium and form…such stunning and playful lyricism…could only be likened to the kindly and exacting poetry of angels. We are not worthy of such divine verse, and we never could be 🥲

I didn’t mean to insinuate that anybody should not be held accountable for their actions. Just the opposite is how I feel, really. But I also believe that many of them can do and learn better if provided with the right care and resources. That’s not to say I know how to make that work, but that there is always, always, always a better path forward if enough qualified and caring people put their heads together and make it happen.
Very few of us are truly and entirely irredeemable. Some just take a lot more resources and time to be redeemed than others, is how I see it. I believe it is worth it, for the sake of all of our futures as well as those of people yet to be born, to try and see to it that paths like this are taken and doubled down on as soon as is possible. I’m a fan of Orwell’s and, more often than not, in agreement with the views he shared. Still, I took his wording to be a bit too absolutist for my tastes on this quote. Ubderstandably, given what we know of his lived experience, but still. There is always a better way as long as there are still people trying to find it. I don’t believe in all of us, but I do believe in the capital ‘u’ Us, you know?
And I’m not familiar with the term “catspaws”. Feel like teaching a stranger something new?

Kind of? Many of them, if not most, are also victims of the same system that indoctrinated them. Like an awful, evil feedback loop of victimization.
Not to say that makes it okay ofc, but all people are fallible and all can be played for fools under the right circumstances, which is just a very important thing to remember at times like these.

I wasn’t trying to say that estrogen makes you a bottom, so much as I was commenting on its effects on the genitalia and general sexual ideation, which both vary case to case ofc. Generally tho, and this is almost all from friends who are/were on the stuff so its secondhand at best, it seems like topping in the conventional sense tends to become a lot less appealing or even just fully a non-option for some.

Unlikely given how estrogen effects the body, but lol no less

Haven’t talked to old boy in a long, long while, but I’ll ask for some recs if I can get ahold of his crazy ass. Chances are not high so don’t get your hopes up lol
If you’re just in the mood to try something different tho, I’d suggest Joe Ely. More south of the border folk than what we’ve been talking about, but he def dips (maybe dipped? not sure) his cup in that same omni-american stream of proto-proto-rock here and there. Any song off Letter to Loredo is somewhere between ‘hey, that’s pretty good’ and ‘yo this fuckin slaaaps’ imo

Examples that I know inspired his music specifically? No can do, mate. I’m not big on country either, and I dont know the guy or follow interviews he’s done or anything like that. I just know that the music he makes reminds me of the music I’d here when frequenting redneck hotspots. Like, the deepwood living, liquor distilling, 6 broken down cars scattered through their inherited land having kinds. Not the ‘I wear john deere as a status symbol’ kinds. Old country about how fucked the government is and trying to wrestle with identity in a world that could care less how we feel or think. Woodie Guthrie comes to mind (also not explicitly country and leaning more folk, ik) but I know for certain they were playing a lot more than just that.
I was talking more about influence in the long division sense and agree that he definitely leans more folk. But also reasoned that folk and country (and bluegrass as well) all share their origins in what is now generally referred to broadly as “folk music”, and which evolved, largely but not entirely, from the lilting string tunes of the celtic cultures, with old Irish music probably having the most sway there. I know this much, but dont know specific artists to direct you toward as it’s just not my bag. Sorry lol

Some big leaps you got there, frogger.
Prove that you are the first person to have definitively and undeniably figured out what humans are “meant to be” and you might just have a gumbo going. Otherwise, all this is is just the kind of nonsense you need to talk to a professional about before it eats you alive.
Because I see how you’ve responded to others in the comments, I want to be very clear; that is not intended as an insult. You have presented a very obviously unhealthy way of viewing oneself and others. If this is your genuine belief, you should seriously consider seeking help with your mental health. Happiness is attainable with the proper aid and effort, and you deserve to give yourself better.

Better than the “country” they play on the radio, without a doubt.
He’s definitely not a strictly country artist, but check out Lord Huron. Bag of Bones is a good starter. He wouldn’t be making the music he does if it wasn’t for the country artists that came before, and he’s pushing the genre in some real Modest Mousian directions in the best of ways
