One could argue that ALL modern country music is disigenuous, and just a mouthpiece for record companies to make bank.

not to mention that the clientele willing to pay this much for this car is dying off. take the money while you can my man

If you play music at a local level (sparsely attended weekday club shows, et al) you see things at least as bad while you’re performing and you’re not getting lavishly compensated for it (or compensated at all in some cases). It comes with the territory for anything short of a symphony hall

We’ll probably find out really soon re the kidnapper thing. The investigators in the idaho murders were completely mum publicly while internally they already had figured it out, but were building a case for an interstate warrant and didn’t want to rattle the suspect into fleeing.

The “mental breakdown” angle might be the case here and i could understand the family feeling there is a stigma around it and thinking they need to “provide cover”. It was a while into the sandra bland situation that the family acknowledged that she dealt with depression and the malaysian airlines investigation took…

To be fair, the family is driving a lot of the speculation by making numerous, specific assertions for which they are the only source (descriptions of kidnapping suspect and the phone call when she was abducted, believing she was at a hotel and they showed up there, et al). I’m sure we’ll eventually find out what…

Exactly this. The family is doing her no favors by being so out there in the media and being the sole source of very specific information (description of kidnapping suspect, phone call when she was allegedly abducted, the whole showing up at a hotel thing). I assume the truth of whatever happened will emerge…

Yeah, we’re not talking about a stage play or symphony performance, especially when your chosen genre and branding is based on “rowdiness” and being “outlaws”

now getting mildly rear-ended or backing into something can nearly guarantee thousands-of-dollars tail light assembly replacement

what in the chinese land rover is this? odd to go so derivative given that hyundai/kia has been putting out attractive, daring designs for a while now

Quite fair. The family has been very forward with specifics (showed up at a red roof inn looking for her but no one under her name checked in?). With all the surveillance et al it’ll probably get figured out pretty quickly one way or another

There apparently was a call to 911 (not released publicly). All of it seems really odd, I’m sure the truth will come out shortly. One of those things where you’re definitely an asshole to go straight to “she faked it!” and also an asshole if you shout down as a racist anyone who says “this is a weird situation”

as far as i’m aware, you only go to prison in the US for being in debt to the government- not another person/business entity because guess who makes the rules! speaking of, guess who gets paid before anyone else in a bankruptcy case? We really need to bring back lawyer jokes/80s & 90s perception of lawyers

You’ll probably get roasted for this view, but there’s plenty of validity to it. I thought the same about rose mcgowan being the face of me too: one of the most personally affected and (quite fairly) emotional people in relation to the issue doesn’t necessarily make for the best public face or mouthpiece

love most of the cast, but between blockchain and rick & morty it’s a hard pass for me. What’s it going to be? yelled stammering about how fiat currency is obsolete?

classic case of “low volume does not equal desirable or valuable”.

I like the quantity, but wish you could have a shortcut for pre-determined sets or matched sets. So many clicks to get to a tower, equip glide armor and re-equip original armor once i land.
