But he, like a lot of other country singers, and I guess like a lot of musicians from all genres, he claims he has turned his life around and is now sober.
He only drinks beer and smokes pot. Like a lot of other folks it turns out.....
Hey, works for me!
That's what I'm telling my doctor at my next annual medical.
Uhhh...the sober part, not the drinking beer and smoking pot part.....
Party on, Garth!
Young guys often like to drag race.
A bunch of them will get together, usually at night, or on some quiet rural road or in some abandoned parking lot.
In the '70's it was driving souped up Mustangs, Camaros, GTO's.
But not this weekend for these 25 guys.
Guys with 25 high-end sports cars - Lamborghinis, Porsches, Ferraris - decided to block all lanes of US Interstate I-75 with four large black SUVs.
And let 'er rip!
It was like shooting fish in a barrel for the FHP.
The state troopers picked these imbeciles off one by one.
And from the reporting each guy either had 1) no driver's license, 2) no insurance or 3) no license plate, or sometimes the trifecta - none of the above.
Anyway, in addition to multiple arrests, most of these cars have been impounded for at least 30 days.
I'm guessing they're going to have some 'splaining to do to their to their daddies.
...when a Miller Lite truck pulls up outside your window.
Too Good To Be True
...unless five minutes later, a cop pulls up.
A Shakedown for A Cold Brewski?
Or an "inventory inspection"...?
Okay, fast forward 20 minutes and the cop gave all involved (truck driver and the blue car in front) multiple tickets and now they're all gone.
And I thought this was the start of a beautiful relationship.
I'll have to live vicariously through others.....
So in the mall parking lot, heading towards my car.
But when I get there, realize it's not mine.
This is my car.
So what was the other car that had me fooled.....
So in case you missed it - I wish I had - the Superbowl halftime show featured Kendrick Lamar, a US rapper who apparently is climbing up the charts.
In fact he just won four Grammys, including Song of the Year, called Not Like Us.
I guess I'm not up on what passes for good music these days. But as a public service, here are the lyrics to the Song of the Year because it was kind of hard to make out during the halftime show. Although I'm sure that people that know his work loved it.
And I'm sure many parents will want to print it for their children as well.
This is also a diss track, calling out his long time nemesis Drake (see the <-- in the lyrics), accusing him of being a pedophile. It's now starting to make sense why a lot of these rappers shoot each other dead so often.
And Kid Rock had an interesting take on it that the NFL is all in on DEI. Well, with an all Black ensemble, there was zero diversity and zero inclusion. Kid Rock loved Lamar giving a big middle finger to the NFL - and not even caring about it.
But I gotta wonder if kids will be singing this song, say, 50 years from now.
As a test, let's take a look back at other Songs of the Year from about 50 years ago or so.
I don't know, maybe it's a toss up between the two eras.
Although maybe the real reason I'm not grooving to the new tunes can be summed up in two words:
Okay, Boomer......
This beautiful Great Egret was perched on the top of a condo.
You usually find them wading in the water looking for lunch.
But she must have seen something from high on her perch.....
One of the best romcoms ever, When Harry Met Sally. And they just tried a little mini-reunion.
I want to remember them the way they were in that movie. And sure, Billy Crystal looks older, but he still looks like Billy Crystal.
Meg Ryan doesn't even look like Meg Ryan anymore.
I don't know whose idea this was, but they should have left well enough alone.
And I'll just remember the "I'll have what she's having" scene.
