DBT Week in Review - 4/23/10

DBT!

Drive-By Truckers miss their last exit, have a 'Happy Ending' - USATODAY.com:
"'When we go to see the Truckers play, we wear diapers so we don't have to go to the bathroom,' declares a young female fan early on in The Secret to a Happy Ending, a documentary about Southern rock band the Drive-By Truckers.

Similar devotion to the Athens, Ga.-based Truckers led Washington, D.C.-area filmmaker Barr Weissman to spend nearly six years making what he calls 'a love letter to rock 'n' roll.'"

Love this:

The Drive-By Truckers' Union Roots | Teamster Magazine:
"Did you grow up in a union home (or ever belong to a union yourself), or was work an important part of your upbringing?

MC: My dad was a Teamster for a few years. He drove dump trucks, hauling asphalt and gravel.

PH: My dad and I have both been members of the musicians union. My dad has been there for over 40 years. I was also partly raised by my great uncle who was a Teamster. He drove trucks for International Harvester from 1946 through 1976. I have very strong working-class roots, even though my dad is a lifelong musician. He was always more on the working man’s end of al of that (being a session musician)."

Hilarious:

BIGGEST MISUSE OF THE WORD “ACADEMY” EVER | The People's Music:
"Three years ago, Troy Gentry pled guilty to shooting a domesticated, caged bear named “Cubby.” This year the ACM gave Montgomery Gentry their humanitarian award. As horrible as that may be, it still shows more integrity than giving them an award for their music."

Jez said...

Not sure if you can call Neko Case beautiful, but I do like so much how she is aging.

Anon: Hank? Did you get the email I sent you? Yup, got the recording and it is grand. Gracias!

Jez, PG, MM: Y'all are a bunch of heathens... That's all I got on this brain foggy Saturday morning.... heathens in the best of ways, of course.
