Masters of Economics. it's about 40-50k more than something like Clemson or LSU would be, but i've heard the campus life/overall school is amazing. Am going to wait and see how much $$$ i get first before I decide
Law school brah, actually have to take finals seriously now as opposed to undergrad where an addy, some energy drinks and a can of cope the night before the exams did the trick. and go to SMU for grad school, unless you're talking about law school, don't go to law school. Find a sexy rich highland parkie to wife up and make your sugar momma.
law school finals blow. can't remember ever studying on a friday night in undergrad. instead of a can of dip and an adderall for one night, it's a can of dip a day and 3 adderalls a day for weeks
Ya, this shit fucking blows. I'm off the adderall train, so instead I just up my dip and energy drink consumption. I've come to the conclusion that taking adderall is healthier than not. Hows that for logical reasoning. Apologies for the thread derailing. Some oldies but goodies. And Bingham acoustic because I have a boner for the guy.

An highly considering it but not sure right now. And sorry to hear about the law school finals good luck
I saw a post from WM on facebook that said their show in Houston was cancelled tonight Last night of Calf Fry, finally get to see Wade Bowen again before Gary Allan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKbk_dQ8Mhg doubt they're the same band, but these outlaws are classic
Wade Bowen put on an awesome show last night, I would say as usual but it was only the second time I've gotten to see him. Gary Allan played after, and I'm not a big fan of him, but he puts on a great show too
Really? I'm a huge Gary Allan fan. I remember he made a comment "I've been through a lot of shit in my life, so if you like my music, your life has probably been fucked up" I was thinking here I thought I had a good life.
Ok, this is fuckin awesome. Wade and his boys before the Reckless Kelly softball game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_ivO9W6TM4
Wade wanted to wear an OSU football helmet the night after Cody Canada received a liquor bottle to the skull. Stillwater is one of his favorite towns, but he won't admit it being a Tech fan.
Mike Eli was wearing an OSU shirt when they played, and then I can't remember which band but someone's guitarist was wearing orange pants. No idea if that's anything out of the ordinary, but I thought it was cool
Mike's family actually lives around Stillwater. He would do acoustic sets at Dirty's all the time right up until I turned 21.. not cool. I've been having severe Stillwater withdrawals lately, but now that it's finals week I'm happy where I'm at. Can't remember.. did you graduate in December or this weekend? Either way, congrats!
Yeah I know he mentions Dirty's a lot between songs and I've seen some old YouTube videos of him doing some acoustic stuff on the strip. And thanks man. I had a final last night and am walking this Friday but still have one last May session class to finish my degree.
A history lesson for those of you bringing Eric Church and the like ITT. This is what music should sound like. Spoiler Townes Van Zandt, “Pancho And Lefty” By Jim Beviglia April 30th, 2012 at 6:00 am He had the temerity and mordant sense of humor to name his 1972 album The Late Great Townes Van Zandt a full quarter-century before he actually shuffled off this mortal coil on New Years Day, 1997. Then again, Townes Van Zandt always zigged when everyone expected him to zag, in his life and his songwriting. That album contained “Pancho And Lefty,” perhaps his most enduring and well-known song in a career that was more impactful in terms of its influence rather than its popularity. Van Zandt’s songs often became widely known only when someone would do a cover version of them, such as when Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard made this song a #1 country hit in 1983. Better to stick with Van Zandt’s original, where his woebegone voice fills in all the emotional blanks left by the quirky narrative. The title immediately suggests an outlaw song, and that’s what it is in the most basic sense. Yet it becomes something more profound as it wears on, a subtle meditation on life and death, friendship, and the consequences of the choices we make. Pancho is a legendary bandit, although, as Van Zandt stated in an interview with Paul Zollo inSongwriters on Songwriting: Expanded Fourth Edition, not a historical one: “The only thing I remember thinking about while I was writing it was consciously thinking that this was not about Pancho Villa.” He’s a feared gunslinger, but he ends up on the noose once the federales get a hold of him (“They only let him hang around/Out of kindness I suppose.”) Lefty is his sidekick, or at least that’s what we assume. In the interview with Zollo, Van Zandt mentions that even he was surprised by the vagueness of their relationship: “Also a friend of mine who is an artist pointed out one time that there’s nothing in that song that says Pancho and Lefty ever knew each other. I had never thought of that.” A popular interpretation of the song has Lefty selling out Pancho to the federales; they point to lines like “He only did what he had to do” as evidence of this. I’ve always resisted that take. To me, Lefty is the flipside of the live fast/die young ethos, someone who may not have the gunfighting talent of Pancho but manages to eke out an existence nonetheless. Van Zandt also wants the listener to question which fate is better: Pancho’s glorious death (“The poets tell how Pancho fell”) or Lefty’s drab life in the very un-Old West town of Cleveland. All of their exploits are framed by an interesting opening verse in which the narrator addresses the outlaws about the dangers of choosing the hard life: “Living on the road, my friend/Is gonna keep you free and clean/Now you wear your skin like iron/And your breath’s as hard as kerosene.” You get the feeling that Van Zandt could have been describing himself with those telling lines. Whatever your interpretation, it’s impossible to deny the allure of “Pancho And Lefty.” The tale might seem on the surface like an elegy for two outlaws, but, with the inimitable Townes Van Zandt’s telling it, it says a lot about me and you. “Pancho And Lefty” Living on the road my friend, Is gonna keep you free and clean. Now you wear your skin like iron, And your breath’s as hard as kerosene. You weren’t your mama’s only boy, But her favorite one it seems. She began to cry when you said goodbye, And sank into your dreams. Pancho was a bandit boys, His horse was fast as polished steel, He wore his gun outside his pants, For all the honest world to feel. Pancho met his match you know On the deserts down in Mexico, And nobody heard his dying words. Ah, but that’s the way it goes. And all the Federales say, They could have had him any day. They only let him hang around, Out of kindness, I suppose. Lefty, he can’t sing the blues All night long like he used to. The dust that Pancho bit down south Ended up in Lefty’s mouth. The day they laid poor Pancho low, Lefty split for Ohio Where he got the bread to go, There ain’t nobody knows. And all the Federales say, They could have had him any day. They only let him slip away, Out of kindness, I suppose. Well the poets tell how Pancho fell, And Lefty’s living in a cheap hotel. The desert’s quiet and Cleveland’s cold, And so the story ends we’re told. Pancho needs your prayers it’s true, But save a few for Lefty too. He just did what he had to do, And now he’s growing old. And a few grey Federales say They could have had him any day. They only let go so wrong, Out of kindness, I suppose. A few gray Federales say They could have had him any day. They only let him so wrong, Out of kindness, I suppose. Written by Townes Van Zandt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtzgwNDZAs4
Townes Van Zandt was awesome. Wish I could've seen him live. My dream concert would be Townes, Guy Clark and Steve Earle all playing acoustic.
the one band i wanted to see the most was JAB on Wed night....and guess who doesn't remember that shit, this guy.
Got a 9 hour drive back home from work in West Tx.. I strongly consider Pats Here We Go Live album as the GOAT Tx Country road trip album.
Right up there with: No. 2 Live Dinner- Bob Keen Near Truths and Hotel Rooms - Todd Snider Sellout- Max Stalling Live at the Old Quarter- TVZ Unleashed Live- Charlie Robison, Bruce Robison, Jack Ingram
Pat Green's single "Austin" is free on iTunes for anyone interested. I guess it's not technically "new", but I don't hate it as much as I have the past couple of Pat Green songs I've heard.
Apparently Pat is working to release another live album at The Nutty Brown Cafe in Austin.. Anyone heard this rumor?
really digging the new Turnpike album. Can't wait for Wade Bowen's new album later this month and obviously my boy Rob's in a week

Drove back into Texas on Sunday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to hear The Front Porch Show back on Sunday afternoons on 99.5 The Wolf (Dallas). Used to listen to it all the time in high school and then at some point while I was in college they started airing some national CMT radio bull shit. Sorry if I'm out of the loop, but I really like Stoney's new single "Look at Me Fly", I like TT's "Gin, Smoke, Lies" (thanks lsufball19 for the link), and I had no idea Pat Green made another "Songs We Wish We'd Written" album. Anybody got an opinion on Jason Boland's latest album? http://youtu.be/6QU_fBRLks4
lsu, when is Rob's new cd coming out? I really like his stuff And I like that latest single from Stoney as well taylor
