Have another cup and a smoke. Self respect and fucking think for yourself. They go hand in hand. Don't worry what others think..they ain't got their shit together anymore than you do. Just don't kill nobody. My dad wore a suit everyday and he was self employed until the 80's. I myself don't own a suit or a tie but I was a rocker hairdresser mechanic truck driver.

Rob his a coffee and a smoke in some third world shit hole. And if you don't disengage I'll have dick back your pee pee with a 2x4. Be ready. Jack backdorsey don't need no money so why raise his ass money. Stupid plebs. Stupid stupid stupid plebs. Fear is gay. No man should ever let fear run his life. Most of the time what we fear never happens anyway.

From an old fat ass musician songwriter. You want a crowd a crowd feeds off a crowd. It's called excitement. First off Nostr will most likely never be mainstream. It's too privacy oriented therefore, when an artist stays niche they should expect a niche crowd. The music business has always been about business. Sadly it should be treated as such. Which most artists are not business oriented. They need help. You don't become the rolling stones on your own. V4v is a great idea for music but change is mostly a decade plus at best. Most of the folks on v4v music won't last a d case only for monetary purposes. But again until Nostr becomes simple and mainstream they will never find a crowd. If they are good they need tiktok, insta, and youtube to get popular enough to go out and tour. It's a numbers game. Sorry not sorry

We all know the anti Christ is Johnny Rotten. It's in the song. I like Betty boop and Cadillacs. But being the redneck hillbilly I am I prefer. Guitars and Cadillacs. Question for ya. At this point hasn't the phrase "pleb slop " become kinda sorta pleb slop ?

Another great show in the books boys.lisyened while traversing the rocky mountains with a half cow on ice in the back. Got it from Jason Wrick at Wrick ranches in Crawford colorado. Paid in Bitcoin. So I think I did it right ? What a beautiful ranch in the mountains. Hey Jon since you're Max's dad if you want I'll be yours. So hey son get me a fucking beer I wanna tell ya something. Keep me in mind I'm available. And Max chickens are easy they eat anything. And if there is a slow day with eggs you can do what I do with ours. I whisper sweet as I can to them. Bitches I'm gonna like eating you. It works every time. Ok boys fuck off until next time.

If I laughed any harder at this show I don't think I'd be as cornfused as I am. Which last time the doctor check he said " well that's one for the record books. Thanks for the shout out. Is that how the kids say it these days. I'm so unhip I'm probably hip. But that to shall pass.

    Joe is an old soul which in my eyes is why he writes the stories he does. Which puts him in the class of the greats. Isbell, petty, mellencamp. He is spot on about making NG it easier for most people. I am most people and if it weren't for joes music. I wouldn't be here. As an old(63) songwriter who did his time in Nashville back in the 80's. It is a different world. Back then we didn't need to worry about social media, we played bars we only get heard of the local radio had a show or people came out. Now the artist has to do all this other crap that takes up time. And that ain't creative time. All the choices of platform have also taken away that true shared community. Like you spoke of MJ. Thriller. Everything is so scattered it's like weeds in a field

    People have been conditioned that music is free and the value is the platform itself. The slightest friction is enough to put non-technical listeners off, and too many bitcoiners pure hodl. There's more but great music and convo with @Joe Martin and @MAKE SONGS LONGER
