I’m an “atonal screaming” guy myself, but Robert asking the guest if they can write him scripts might be my second fav.

Several members of the band wear merch from a brand called “Curbstomp.”

El Cor just booked them.

Just thought yall might want to know.

I found Restrictor Plate last fall with SLAMTONA 500. Few weeks ago I discovered Truckstop Dickpill who featured a legendary over-the-radio freak out by Kurt Busch in an outro. Then today I found 4x4x2 by FOUR WHEEL DEATH that had a snippet of pastor Joe Nelms in 2011 giving an iconic prayer (Lord I’d like to thank you for my smokin’ hot wife tonight) before a race started

That being said, what other slam bands have nascar snippets in their songs? Shits like crack I need MORE.

John was of my first Twitter interaction with someone “famous.” My then-wife told me not to play “No Children” on the car with our 7 and 5 yo sons.
I, being a proper humanities grad, asked John to explain the song. Publicly on Twitter. Didn’t think I’d hear anything back.
I did.
He said something like “tell them it’s about two people who loved each other more than anything and now they’re so mad at each other and they don’t know how to say it.”
That was in 2011 or so. In 2016 my contentious divorce was finalized. I was in the Army and finally had to move away from my kids. Then COVID happened b
It was a really, really shitty nine or so years where I basically didn’t get to see my kids due to parenting plans issues, my drinking, and COVID.
I got sober and retired from the Army in 2023.
My youngest son turned 18 in April. We’ve spent a ton of time together, gone on our first vacation since 2016, and now he’s coming with me to both TMG-PNW shows.
Life is fucking hard and weird and wild.
Just wanted to thank John for explaining something so important years ago and for writing songs for people like me and my kid.
See yall in Seattle and Portland!

Great article that mentions White’s in Spokane.

Already checked the Wiki to see if someone picked up on this. The line “You won't find any thumbprints / To dust your powder into /
Just mute donkeys still as statues / In each saloon I've been through”
This has been on my mind for like the last four months. In particular 2 Peter 2:15-17 (ESV)

“15 Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, 16 but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
17 These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved.”

My take is that John has the donkeys to restrain his (or the titular lead in the Jenny saga) madness as he hits the saloons on his way out of town to try to find answers.

Whatcha got?

Been listening to these guys a lot. They go DEEP. It’s great. Anyways. I’m getting strong Russo-Japanese vibes from Trump and Kegseth in Iran.
Thoughts?

I promise you the ONE thing Alf Landon could do is run circles around FDR. The man was in a wheelchair for goodness sake.
