Wife and I decided not to make the trip last minute, but definitely want someone to enjoy a great show. Giving them away to best offer (or any offer), capped at $60 each, because thats MSRP.
Ordered the signed CD 6/29, shipped 7/7, been in my city since 7/13, and out for delivery the last four days.
I’m wondering if Charley cursed me for wearing black and sleeping in on Sunday mornings.
Yall think this could be an authentic BB King auto? Found in an antique shop and I don’t know if it’s worth picking up.
We just closed on our first home this year. Working piece by piece to make it homey.
What do you guys think this selection says about us? Recommendations?
Why has there not been a riot over this yet? A year and a half ago SS was slinging bad boys and my wife and I got HOOKED. I’m talking six milkshakes a week. We were spending almost $200 a month in milkshakes, it had to be budgeted. What do we have to do for SS to bring this back??
Authentic Autograph or Blueprint for a RollerCoaster?
Found this beat-up copy of *The Troublemaker* in a record shop in with a signature on the back cover.
The owner immediately dismissed it as “just vandalized,” but I bought it anyway because it caught my attention.
After comparing it to authenticated examples online, I think it there’s more similarities to Willie Nelson’s sloppier or rushed autograph style more than I expected.
In my head, I can picture plausible scenarios like a front-row fan with a record and marker grabbing his attention in the middle of a set, or Willie quickly scribbling signatures for 50+ fans waiting behind a venue as he heads out. I’ve personally obtained genuine autographs that would probably fail authentication because they were rushed, careless, and done in passing…but I know they’re real because I was there when they were signed. This is actually the only piece in my collection that I question.
I know it’s rough and illegible, but I’m curious what others think:
\-Does this look at all consistent with Willie’s rushed signatures?
\-Does anything immediately suggest it’s fake? Folks tell me they think this was faked as a way to trick consumers…my guess is someone using that tactic would sign the front, do so more carefully, and ask for a significantly higher price.
\-If not Willie, does it resemble anyone else’s signature?

I’ve seen so much conversation about her recently and I feel it’s time to share a story I haven’t told in nine years.
In college at Appalachian I was lucky enough to be one of Foxx’ constituents. I had an assignment to arrange a meeting with an elected official and discuss some matter of importance with them. After a little hassle, she agreed to meet with me.
I walk in amicably and genuinely excited to speak with her…I listened to Train’s Meet Virginia on the drive over. I couldn’t wait to discuss stats regarding the impoverished and neglected populations of WNC (look them up, it’s rather dismal, particularly for families with children).
She reminded me that in her day she had grown up poor, without electricity or running water, and that she was fine.
I reminded her that same reality for a child in 2017 is a much greater disparity to modern living than in her day.
In that moment I saw a “switch” and it was evident this had become a debate which I was not prepared for…
She dismissed all my cited research as false without reviewing it, and then began grilling me on exactly how I could fix all of WNCs problems. How would I in my early 20s run the federal government?
I reminded her that’s what she was elected to do, but I was only there to discuss her thoughts on progress. She and her three aides then tore me apart for 15 minutes straight, I couldn’t get a word in.
Let me tell you, my life had not been easy up until that point. I’d been through some stuff that had made me pretty strong, but something about my sit down with Virginia Foxx shook me. To look such callousness and hatred straight in the eye as she hissed at me left me with a feeling that I can still feel in the pit of my stomach today. I genuinely believe she feels that people in NC who are struggling are doing so because they either 1) want to be or 2) deserve to be. I couldn’t fathom the abysmal attitude and disdain she held for the people who voted for her. It was despicable (and I refuse to use that word because I think it’s wildly dramatic).
After this wretched meeting, I began to get up, she grabbed my arm and SHE ASKED ME for a picture. I reluctantly obliged, bringing it back to my class as proof.
Here I am pictured with Virginia Foxx in 2017. She was roughly late 90s/early 100s then.
Just popped in to say what up to my gulf and western friends out there.
I discovered Crockett in 2021, right about the same time I was teaching myself guitar. Ended up learning to play using a lot of his music. Since then I’ve probably been to eight shows, collected every vinyl, and even had some personal run-ins with the guy.
Wanted to show off some of my favorite Crockett pieces from my music collection. If anyone ever wants to debate his entire catalogue, I’ve got about 22k minutes of listening time on Spotify in the last five years…I’m ready for it lol
