Red dirt country is our Jazz. It’s country but not 24/7 my wife left me for my dog while driving my truck. Whiskey Myers- Broken window serenade is a song about watching someone deal with a loved one on meth. Tejon street corner thieves- blue lives murder. Goes ham on cops for killing folks. They also got a song called “oh my god” which has helped me deal with finding out my ma has stage 4 blood and lung cancer. Amigo the devil has lots of deep songs that gives me white folks jazz/blues. One is called cocaine and abel. Another one I really feel in my heart is stronger than dead. Sorry to go on rant. I love sharing music I listen to.

Just grabbed a couple albums from the Tejon Street Corner Thieves the other day - good stuff! I’ll have to give those other bands a listen as well!

I love his voice. I’m no singer but I sing in my car, no matter whose in it, and I feel I can nail his songs the best. The song Demons and the song Whiskey hit me in my core. Both, and I know this is gonna sound dumb, but my addiction to weed and rage. I grew up in a very violent house. We didn’t talk things out, we fought, even if we were wrong. It’s addicting to have that level of rage. Seeing red, being out of your body. One day like 6 yrs ago I heard Demons. With demons, it made think about how I was letting my rage become me and run my life I was riding home by myself from Tifton to Valdosta. I broke down crying driving on back roads at night cause I felt the song in my heart. Then Whiskey a while after, and it made me see how much I was relying on weed to mask my emotions. I still smoke. But it’s a lot less and I am open to myself and anyone who does something to affect(?) my emotions. Then like I said, the new song oh my god. Boy. My mama having cancer. She raised me. She believes in God, and I don’t. It got me to thinking that maybe I don’t know and that all this has happened and will happen and if there is a god, we don’t know anything about them, so why make assumptions? Just feel the grass grow between your toes. Whew. Sorry brother/sister, I got to running my fingers and couldn’t stop.

Hey man, I’m glad you’re able to have some honest introspection whatever the methods used to get there. Never be apologetic about sharing genuine emotions in a healthy way, life’s too short. I grew up in an angry household too, I was the primary inheritor of my abusive father’s anger. My father lost his family because he couldn’t control his emotions, and watching that happen is a big part of the reason I mastered my anger after some missteps in my youth. You’re not wrong in how you describe it, just being angry and letting loose is addictive in a way. I’m grateful I had people supporting me as I learned how to break the cycle, I hope you’ve got a support circle just as strong as mine was. As for all you’re going through and what your mom is dealing with, I’m sending you a big brotherly hug over the internet, I wish you nothing but the best. If you ever need someone to lend and ear and talk to, please don’t be a stranger and drop me a DM.
