Agreed. Which is why Jay's "Risin'" bugs me so much.

I'm gonna say that could be a local dialect pronunciation of "Brazos," like the variation when people either say "Missouruh" or "Misouree." Maybe someone from the Brazos river region could confirm this, or denounce it as a pile of horseshit. I grew up in Texas and can say that while your theory get...

I also think it's "risin'."

I wonder why he changed it.

Ok. I can't take at anymore. This is has been bugging me for a very long time.

Jay is clearly NOT saying "Brazos" (which is the original lyric) in his version of the song. What exactly is he saying?

The new version of Life Worth Living was sick. A definite winner that must end up on an album at some point. I thought the new version of Vodoo Candle was decent, but no where near Life Worth Living. I was planning on writing down the setlist, but ended up in the front row and was busy rocking out (...

Just to get back on topic:

Tempe, AZ

At 4:30pm it was a brisk 83 degrees.

I'm amazed that there's even a debate about global warming on a Jay Farrar forum. But then again, I was amazed to see that some of you jackasses actually listen to Rush Limbaugh. I can't possibly conceive how you are a fan of Jay's work with such an opposing ideology. Isn't that like Pat Robertson ...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Jay actually mentions Jesus in a handful of recordings. Still Feel Gone believes in Jesus. I love Jesus. I love you, Still Feel Gone. Love, Jackass I love you too Shuck. (Would rush condone such man love?) Well, I don't fall in lock-step with what old Rushbo...

Dear Al Gore, My hand fucking froze to my doorknob yesterday afternoon. Fucking froze to it. My son had to get a glass of hot water outside to help me. It is 5 degrees here, with a 25 mph wind. Dear Al Gore: fuck you. Love, Shuck Owens Yes, and fuck you Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change! Ye...

HA!!!

Lyric from Tear Stained Eyes.

Who's 'the man' and what is this quote a refrence to? It's been bugging me for a whlie and I can't find any info on the origins of the phrase.

Thanks.

It's about Townes. Nice. Not being argumentative (obviously from my first post, i "want" it to be about Townes), but is this an educated guess or do you remember from liner notes/interview/etc? I assumed it was Townes, but given the content (drinking, gambling, etc), it could be about 1,000 other f...
