I guess now we know why they called the band Hootie and the BLOWfish.

Country star Darius Rucker arrested on drug charges in Tennessee

Really surprised. Figured if he was caught with drugs it would be HGH or something - most 57 year olds don't look like that. Also didn't realize a former girlfriend, comedian Kate Quigley almost died of an overdose four years ago. Don't know if they were together then. But yeah, kinda surprised.

If I knew any Hootie songs, I would make a joke here. But I don't. So I won't.

Your turn, y'all.

She seems unamused:

Since he's not dead I guess it's okay to say that I'm not a big fan of his take on "Straight to heck" since he kind of neuters the underlying hardship of the song, but I appreciate that it brought some attention to Drivin' N Cryin'.

Oh man, if you want to hear a proper homage to Drivin' N Cryin', Isbell's band does an amazing "Honeysuckle Blue" with Sadler Vaden on lead vocal.

</end_threadjack> The Quigley response was amusing. Not sure this is the hill on which she wants to call attention to herself.

Saw it live and have it from the Georgia Blue album. They did another one recently from a tribute album - Look What You've Done to Your Brother.

The Hootie & Blowfish frontman was scheduled to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on Friday. Rucker has since been removed from the lineup on the music venue's website.

Oh thank God. Surely country music is a safe space from abusers of substances.

 

[goalmouth]

I heard a live cut years ago and at the end he tells the audience, "I ain't never leaving South Carolina."

Sore winner.

 

[UPChip]

I'm such a baby, yeah, the drug cops make me cry...

 

[DanielSimpsonDay]

One of the worst shows I've seen. His disdain for the audience and material was evident from the start and never let up.

Willie and Waylon snicker, and Johnny Cash sprains a rib muscle laughing.
