So... A portion of this money goes to me, since I wrote ‘Cover Me Up.’ I’ve decided to donate everything I’ve made so far from this album to the Nashville chapter of the
@NAACP
. Thanks for helping out a good cause, folks.
Fans of Morgan Wallen are buying up the country star’s latest album after a video showed him shouting a racial slur last week. His "Dangerous: The Double Album" spent a fourth week at the top of Billboard’s all-genre chart.
If you’re on here arguing the definition of “assault weapon” today you are part of the problem. You know what an assault weapon is, and you know you don’t need one.
Truth is, I’d much rather have a president who has dealt with addiction on a personal/ family level. Recovery lessons really come in handy when you’re trying to rebuild something that’s in extreme disrepair.
If Biden wins Georgia I’m gonna make a charity covers album of my favorite Georgia songs- REM, Gladys Knight, Vic Chesnutt, Allmans, Cat Power, Precious Bryant, Now It’s Overhead, etc... And damn is that gonna be fun

and I have decided to return our membership cards. I doubt anybody will care, but we cared a lot about our heroes.
Southern idioms I just made up:
That ain’t my fish to fry
Never cut your neighbor’s grass
Sweating like a dentist in Wal-Mart
Bringin’ in the groceries, one bag at a time
Farmers don’t flinch
I just rode an elevator with a guy in a Jason Isbell t-shirt and I said nice shirt and he just said thank you. So either I’m looking not so good today or that’s one cool ass dude. Or maybe the shirt was a gift and it’s laundry day and he’s not a fan at all
We’re now requiring proof of vaccination or a current negative test to attend all our shows, indoors or out. If the venue won’t allow that, we won’t play.

Today at the grocery store my 6yo daughter asked me what OG meant and I was like ORIGINAL GANGSTER then I noticed she was reading the back of a pack of bubble gum and it meant zero grams of sugar
I’ve owned and fired those guns. Grew up in Alabama, and they were all over the place. You pretend to be confused in order to con people who actually are. Good to know we’re getting under your skin, though. I have the patience for this.
Actually, no, I don't "know what an assault weapon is." And neither do you. And when it comes to policy and lawmaking, knowing what the hell you're talking about matters.
What percentage of Americans died in the 9/11 attacks? How many times have you taken your shoes off at the airport since? But you won’t wear a mask now because most COVID patients recover from the virus or because you don’t think masks work well enough?
If you’re an elderly person or somebody who’s at high risk, I’m so sorry these folks are out here acting like this virus isn’t real. I’m sorry our society doesn’t care more about you.
Dolly wrote ‘I Will Always Love You’ all by herself, then turned down Elvis’ offer to record it because he and Colonel Tom wanted half the publishing. We all know what happened when Whitney recorded it. Happy birthday

Twitter is the people who are mad at Ellen for being friends with George Bush and Facebook is the people who are mad at George Bush for being friends with Ellen
I literally hate the dude’s guts but I don’t care if he has to wear a diaper or if he’s fat. Lotta good fat people out there in adult diapers prolly feeling bad about themselves. I tell my kid we never make fun of people for what they can’t help, only for the stupid stuff they do
@JasonIsbell
I am so sick of these communist artist like Jason Isbell trying to force their ugly ideology on the rest of us. I destroyed my tickets to see Isbell at the Greek after his stupidity was exposed. I will also be deleting him from my Spotify.

She didn’t have to promote a damn thing she just got up there on a platform in the sky pregnant as hell and I can only salute, unpregnant, from the ground
This is Twitter, Tom, not a streaming service. I do plenty of singing on the streaming services. If your kids are still speaking to you, ask them how to listen to music on your phone.

and understanding from those who don’t know firsthand what addiction can do. Believe it or not, it could happen to you.
For every person who’s dying after refusing to get the vaccine there’s probably at least one person who loved them and refused to give up trying to talk them into getting vaccinated while there was still time and I feel bad for those folks
What really gets me about this is that it’s saying “if you don’t believe you can physically overpower me, you aren’t allowed to publicly disagree with me.” What does that say to the people in your life who aren’t big strong boys? They just have to shut up?
Jason, you’re always the first to get behind your keyboard and spout off with this stupid shit. In “my small town” you just walk up to the guy and be a man to his face if you want the smoke… not tweet it at him…. Tough guy.
Any time we announce tour dates and you don’t see your city on the list, it’s because these are our only shows and we hate you and we’ll never play there ever!
The band and I attended both your inaugurations. Had some of the best conversations of my life on those days. It’s a great honor to see our song here alongside such great pieces of music.
Over the past few months, I’ve spent a lot of time listening to music with my family. I wanted to share some of my favorites from the summer—including songs from some of the artists at this week’s

So now you can sue an Uber driver in Texas you’ve never met for driving a 15 year old rape victim you’ve never met to a hospital you’ve never entered, but you can’t sue the Sacklers for killing your family

he said “I like that song “Traveling Alone,” and then he started singing my own song to me and something in my mind said “Keep this, you’ll need it.” And I will always have it. Happy birthday, Boss.
I miss playing shows and going out and watching baseball but not as bad as I’d miss my dad and my grandparents if they literally coughed themselves to death
Build-A-Bear Workshop, the stuffed animal company, has unveiled a new collaboration with RuPaul — a teddy bear portraying the TV personality in his signature drag.
Love it when they try the old “I thought the left was supposed to be about tolerance” bit. Y’all just made that up. Nobody I know is interested in being “tolerated.” That’s some condescending shit. We’re talking about respect and fairness over here.
Even though the system was designed to exploit them from the very start, Black American voters still participated. If our collective ass is saveable, that’s who is saving it right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
“I’ve never heard of you” is an insult because they assume all artists want to be as famous as possible. That way, the artist can use their fame as collateral. Truth is, some of us just want to be able to go to the guitar store without security and come home with a 1959 Les Paul
The way I'd prefer to remember John Prine leaving us... dancing a jig to the sounds of "Lake Marie" at the
