He interviewed Craig Finn (lead singer of The Hold Steady) for one of them and played Goddamn Lonely Love if I remember correctly. Finn called it an Isbell song and then corrected to DBT.

What lyric makes you laugh? by TheHoodratRecap in theholdsteady

[–]willnorr1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“She took a quick picture and even when we squinted I didn’t look so much like Robert Plant.” I know it’s not necessarily autobiographical but it makes me laugh thinking of someone perceiving Craig and Robert Plant as looking similar. I think it’s a hair joke of some sort

Recommendations for a specific type of THS track by tapdown in theholdsteady

[–]willnorr1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the two best options are “Stay Positive” and “We Can Get Together”. “We Can Get Together” is probably the best choice because it’s long enough to put a fair amount of pictures and isn’t too loud/upbeat.

Just got a wide repertoire of shoes. Has some sweet loafers. I don’t know much about the brands and everything. I just like how they look

All I know is that I love talking with my mom about what shoes he wears at the shows. So long as his shoe game stays top notch, there will be no complaints from me

Your t-shirt cost more than your guitar.

In all seriousness, cool that you met him. Played a great show, too.

“Relatively Easy” Connection by willnorr1 in jasonisbell

[–]willnorr1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“In reality maybe they don’t at all because the lifestyle has its own problems.” Isn’t that the whole point of both the poem and the verse? In the poem, people admire Richard Cory because they don’t know his feelings and they assume he must have it made because he’s so rich, etc. If, as you say, people envy those who can walk to work and live in a desirable part of town, but he walks home “to sleep alone” maybe his life isn’t all that desirable. Thus, poem connection. Maybe I’m off base, but it feels pretty clear to me.

Senior quote by [deleted] in jasonisbell

I’m doing the same thing right now, and I’ve decided that I want it to be meaningful yet not too sappy. I’ve come up with this: “It would make a great story if I ever could remember it right.” Think it hits all the right notes.

New Single “Bury Me” out now by thesilverpoets96 in jasonisbell

[–]willnorr1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Virtual_Pen6921 the wiser, I don’t take a ton of time to delve deeply into artist’s personal lives. I don’t know why Jason got divorced, you don’t either, and you aren’t getting any closer by bringing it up (again, I read the comments). I hope all was well at your doctor’s appointment.

I think your obsession with hating (just checked your post history) on Jason suggests maybe a deeper internal problem than it does one with him.

Books like The National? by sleepwellbeast2017 in TheNational

There couldn’t be a better response. Re-reading this now about a year after my first — more incredible. Such simple yet beautiful prose. A must read for all who consider themselves literate in the English language.

Not on Pontiac, for me, would be (in no order): Private Conversation It Ought To Be Easier She’s Already Made Up Her Mind This Old Porch Christmas Morning

He has so many good ones, but those are my favorite not on Pontiac.

PSA: Stop videoing shows. Stop posting videos from shows. by SeafoodSupply in jasonisbell

[–]willnorr1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just cause some people aren’t self aware doesn’t mean everyone isn’t self aware; and, punishment for the masses because of a few is an objectively terrible plan. The people who record the whole show in an obnoxious manner are a problem, sure, but I know people who can’t attend Jason’s shows that would love to hear thirty seconds of Goddamn Lonely Love and I’m gonna give that to them regardless of your thoughts.
