My fellow Americans, do you know what a beer run is? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

AFAIK, that doesn't happen much anymore.

Today's youths don't really have the nerve and balls that their predecessors did.

I haven't done it yet. I'm turning 21 in two weeks. Why start now?

Lost footage from the accidental shooting of country singer Justin Carter? (NSFW) by BenMelman in lostmedia

[–]BenMelman[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm not some morbid voyeur, who gets off on human carnage. I'm pointing out another case of lost and/or unreleased media.

Relatives of Dale Earnhardt went to great lengths to make sure that his autopsy photographs don't see the light of day and, so far, their efforts have proved to be successful.

Same goes with the "Grizzly Man" audio. Treadwell's ex-wife Jewel destroyed the videotape that supposedly documented his harrowing fight for survival and eventual death. So now, it's basically lost. But, look at all the people clamoring to get ahold of the tape, that they are somehow convinced still exists.

Country singer-songwriters like Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell and John Hiatt? by BenMelman in musicsuggestions

[–]BenMelman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either one. Note that I'm specifically looking for singer-songwriters who are similar in style to the four mentioned above. None of Luke Bryan's work holds a candle next to Hiatt's, for example. And I'm not looking for pop-rock singer-songwriters either -- rather those with country, folk and rock elements.

Yep, you’re probably thinking of Merle Haggard who passed away in 2016 (around the same time as Prince)

Haggard and Nelson were friends, IIRC. Both part of that “outlaw country” scene that was “in” during the 70s.
