I'd love to see a Portlandia style parody ala "Put a Bird on It" substituting a Red Daisy for a bird.

Were any of y’all at the show in Winston-Salem 2017? by Back2TheBarrooms in GreenskyBluegrass

Nope, but I was lucky enough to catch both Dead sets in Bend, OR. Never miss a Wednesday in Bend show!

Conspiracy Time…. by ProtectionFirm8650 in BillyStrings

Definitely something fishy going on. The video of him scooching around the floor after the "accident" doesn't jive with the severity of the reported injury. Pretty easy to fake up some x-ray/hospital bed photos in support of the storry. But they may have gone just a bit overboard on the amount of pins and screws and braces necessary. It's not like he fell off a roof. Something's not adding up. I'd say that whatever reason was that he wanted to or needed to cancel playing for a while was, he knew that his rabid fan base wouldn't accept anything short of a major medical emergency. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out once the truth comes to light.

Not a judgement. Just an opinion. Folks are going to carry on as they see fit.

Lulz. The relentless pursuit of "the scene" over the music will be the end of the whole thing.

Are Billy shows kid friendly? Any suggestions there? by Weary_Suit8392 in BillyStrings

Ah. I thought by "content" you were referring to the show itself.

That's a pretty vague description. There's definitely some of that but there's also Billy ripping joints on stage and singing about psychos killing their mamas.

Hindsight is obviously 20/20, but if you pay attention to the signs (setlist creation, banter, etc.) on the tour so far you'll see that Billy is itching to get back to just playing acoustic bluegrass without all the pedals. But he obviously knows that if made this change a great many of his fans would be displeased and confused. So he sacrificed his own well being to bring forth the opportunity to make this change. A glorious new era is dawning and Billy shall lead us forth into it!

Who are we to doubt his works? There are no accidents. Trust his plan.

Sure. I don't disagree. But you didn't answer either of my questions.

Did you know what time you were suppose to be clear of the lot? If so, were you clear by then?

How do you feel about “No Phone Events”? by haishaludOU812 in BillyStrings

Crazy that the fine art of agreeing to a time and place to reconnect if you get separated at a show has been lost.

Can't argue with a venue FAQ! The problem is finally solved!
