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

A former roadie told me that George Strait was the biggest cokehead in Nashville. Guess it's game on now.

I can't see that. I've spent a little time around him at cutting horse events. He didn't give that vibe at all.

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

Your turn, y'all.

Guess Darius wants to be a Sad Caper.

Hootie killed alternative radio in the 1990s by worming their way onto playlists. That is my non-roadie take of the day.

Correct.
Rehab vet as well, according to many folks on the Row.

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

Back then they called him crazy
Nowadays they call him a saint
Most folks don't know that they fired him from the Opry
And that caused his greatest pain

The only time I ever thought Strait might be on something was watching his acting in "Pure Country."

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

Ladyfriend saw him on that same tour and said he clearly wanted to GTFO stage ASAP.

That explains why he's so dang animated on stage.

Col. Tom Parker thinks Pure Country is the greatest country music movie he ever had anything to do with.

You gotta have something in your system if you're making the overnight run from San Antonio to Amarillo.

So you're saying he'd seen a million faces.
Seen a million places.
And was sick of both.
