The CDC recommends that if you lose your one and only, there's always room here for the lonely to watch your broken dreams dance in and out of the beams of a Neon Moon.
Think it’s fairly telling that a handful of male country artists will come to defend the actions of their own in an instant, but remain silent when women have voiced their opinions about racism, sexism, etc in country music (and society in general).
“Well, I'm 37 years old now, I was born in '84 and I've been free as I can be and I won't ask for anymore. So let the fiddle play a hoedown after I've drawn my last breath. Well tell everyone I know that I loved them all to death.”
Happy Birthday to the one & only Evan Felker.
deleting all my dating apps bc i want to meet someone the old fashioned way (Them working though college on my grandpa's farm while I’m caught somewhere between a woman & a child & thirsting for knowledge during summer, a hot July moon seeing everything, strawberry wine).
Y’all be careful out there. My friend down in Austin, his car was just broken into. He had a pair of Men’s Longhorn basketball tickets on the dash and they left four more.

This shot of Evan Felker y’all love so much, it was taken seven years ago today by my buddy and one time New Slang photographer Landan Luna. We were out in front of

If and when they ever make a 30 for 30 on the Texas Tech Men’s Basketball program, it’ll be about the rise of Mark Adams and not the departure of Chris Beard.👆
If you really want to congratulate Texas Tech (and Houston), you’ll push to restructure the PUF instead of further letting it funnel to your alma mater and A&M.
Earl Thomas Conley had 18 number 1 singles during the 1980s. Only Alabama and Ronnie Milsap had more. For some more perspective, he released 25 singles during the decade. Only two didn’t reach the top 10.

If you’re angry about a team changing their team name, mascot, logos, etc...why?
My favorite irony in this word is when folks who call others “snowflakes” all the time become filled with teary-eyed anger when others challenge their casual racism.
I don't think it's a secret that
@TpTroubadours
have been my favorite band--as much as one can be for someone in my position--for the past decade. Been scrolling through reading various stories, etc from others. I want to hear more. Tell me your Turnpike story, memory, etc.
