and i like that that lyric uh well i got i took some pills she took the dogs
all it's all gone
to hell that's a hell of a one she's gone to her mom that god dude and i took
up drinking since she
took the time to tell me i took the best years of her life god sad it is sad
that's always make me
happy yeah i wonder if uh if people relate more now to sad do you think overall
that music's sad
or different than it was when we were like growing up and you and i are
probably more closer to age
than ernest but like i just wonder sometimes you know i think so i think is
there more sad or i think
there's more real more vulnerability okay there you go it was so curated so
music used to be curated
there was it was the labels were in the power and they would curate songwriters
they would pick the
songs they would make the artists record the songs like it was a big deal when
artists got to start
picking their own songs in this town there was a time where like labels were
like this is your song
i called it i get in trouble every time i do this by the way but i called it
the build a bear system
right like nashville was like build a bear like they would find a bear they
would put cowboy hat on bear
cowboy boots on bear they would give bear a song give bear a guitar make bear
have a band of bears behind
bear put bear on tour put bear on radio yeah and it was completely like they
were these dudes were like
robots they were muppets right you know what i mean for the the system and the
power and what we've
seen in light of the internet and i always compare stuff to like other things
for connectivity and comedy
we've seen it as well right and podcasting and and the the ability to y'all to
go direct to consumer
right like like the idea that a guy like zach bryan can be writing songs in the
military and sets up his
phone and just sweating just singing his ass off and can connect with people
with with no in between
right and that's why sometimes the establishment don't like him because they
had absolutely nothing to
do with his success but we've gotten to a place where like we're back this the
last time this really
happened and somebody's going to argue with me but fuck them was in the 60s and
the 70s the singer
songwriter movement yeah right where you would see guys that were like writing
their own songs and
singing their own songs willie nelson waylon dylan christopherson james taylor
they're outlaws but
i mean it went over like i was playing uh you know jackson free have you wrote
with him yet oh yeah he's a
i love that kid yeah i think i think he's gonna be he's 23 yeah in the next 10
15 years remember we
said this name phil this kid's gonna have 30 40 number one jackson free jackson
free spells it with
an x but he didn't realize how deep dylan's catalog was because like if you're
like i don't know if
you do you ever get into dylan bob dylan bob dylan yeah i know so then was it
the nasal thing that threw
you off i don't remember i just don't know if i i just don't remember him that
good but it's like you've
heard some of his songs without knowing right is that him oh it sounds like tom
peddy yeah for sure
oh yeah bob dylan was kind of rapid but he also wrote along the watchtower yes
right like he like and
jackson didn't realize this and i'm playing him all these big records i'm like
you know 10 bob dylan
songs i could do a few right now where you're like no i don't i'm like i play
them you're like oh
fuck i do know 10 bob dylan songs i just know didn't know bob dylan wrote them
yeah because but it was
a different era these guys were like writing their own songs and singing them
and then we went through
the 20 30 year curated space and now it's like there's a lot of guys that are
singing their own
stories again and that's why i think the connectivity is different and i think
the vulnerability shows
because it's just men being honest in their music so it might seem a little sadder
but i think it's
just more more authentic yeah that's a good that's a great answer yeah i agree
with that for sure jesus christ
jesus christ that's a good answer thank you
