Some of my family are moving to Texas (from Oregon and Washington). Methinks I will stay in Idaho, its where I keep my stuff. (Re: Stay in Idaho -- Except for travel -- rates are cheap.)

One of my relations sez he is moving to the Lone Star before it becomes an independent state and the rest of America is stuck with a kleptocracy. :/

RIP Charlie Pride. After Johnny Cash, one of the few Country singers I could enjoy. (I am one of those who like Western but cannot stand Country -- especially Countrified Pop.) Cash, and Pride are rare exceptions -- especially when they sing on the Western side of the murky divide.

I'm a Tom Waits fan myself, although it's debatable if he's even country.

I tend to think of Waits as in the spectra of folk/jazz/blues that plays well with western (Technically blues is a form of western (broad category)) but not specifically western (narrow category). I like when Waits said that his voice puts the sand in sandwich. He is a great songwriter. My favorite of his is "Hold on." That song is in my western playlist.

I like his later work, songs like Hell broke Luce and my favorite, Hoist That Rag.

I haven't noticed anything past the 90s. ***Narland adds newer Waits albums to his bucket list*** The problem with getting old is that the novelty of newness wears off. There is a broader selection of "liking things like it was" and exploring the now, less and less.

I always appreciate "philosophers" (thoughtful-thought provoking artists) who can sing from their hearts. Bob Dylan, Tonio K, (most blues artists imo) et al. I may not agree with their rationale, but at least they have one. Songs with deep theological and philosophical import, including great hymns, and gospel.

And ironically novelty nonsense songs. I haven't figured that one out, myself. "Playlist >>> Like a Rolling Stone (Folk Rock), A Mighty Fortress Is Our God (Metal Version), You Can't Always Get What You Want (Blues Version), Unattainable Earth (Alternate Rock), but then Mairzy Doats (Folk Nonsense)..." People riding with me either laugh, or look at with askance.

Sarah Tennison - A Mighty Fortress Is Our God - Martin Luther - Rock Power Praise Vol. 1 - Pakaderm Records is the version I currently have and recommend it to everyone.

There is a Scandinavian Band (Swedish iirc) that had a Death Metal sound for A Mighty Fortress (about 2003), but I cannot find it online. I did not keep the CD because they sounded like they were screaming while trying to swallow the microphone at the same time. I like metal a bit more bright and melodic. I am not much for metal that sounds like the cookie monster is being being exorcised of the spirit of the Swedish chef while screaming Luther. :) But to each his own. That version does sound great for your paladin plowing his way through the legions of darkness however.

Never Surrender by Divine Fire on the Glory Thy Name album by Rivel Record Label might be a good fit for your Paladin.

I had a bootleg tape from the 70s of a Jesus People band doing Black Sabbath's Paranoid Album with overtly Christian lyric changes. I still had the tape in the 80s playing in a boombox at a naval shipyard. The satanists (LeVeyites) on the crew were deeply offended by it, but especially by the song Iron Man (Son of Man).

I despise "Jesus is my girlfriend/boyfriend" type songs. Replace Jesus with Bill or Jill and it could just as well be a quickly forgotten romantic love song.

Not that contemporary secular pop isn't just as bad with the 7-11 approach (seven words sung eleven times), and bereft of any nobility thought.

I tend to lean on the Larry Norman/Daniel Amos/Chavall Guevara/One Bad Pig/Five Iron Frenzy side of the Christian Music divide.

I wouldn't mind a metal version of "Be Thou My Vision" and "O For a Thousand Tongues" for hymns, and "Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?" (Larry Norman) and We'll All Know Soon Enough (Lost Dogs / Daniel Amos).

My condolences. My first radio station firing was for (us -- the station staff,) expanding the playlist to include songs that provoked thought and conversation -- real conversation about real problems needing real solutions, not just cheesy feelgood songs that were safe, secure, and repetitious. Christian music with bite.

We shook things up so much that we got into the Arbitron ratings for the first time ever, and turned a profit for the first time in decades. The station owner announced he was flying up from California. It was like an episode out of "WKRP in Cincinnati." We decorated the staff room to surprise him with a party to celebrate.

Except when he entered the room, "Surprise!" -- he wasn't happy. Unfortunately this was the late 70s and unprofitable radio stations were a tax shelter. We had cost him thousands of dollars in tax write-offs and he fired us all. He even brought staff in from California to run the station. Nobody stayed to eat the cake or pass out the party favors. lol.

Now, take Covid. The two sound very familiar. I think the Japanese word for COVID is Karoshi, and it makes sense that overworking would cause COVID.

There's a lot of evidence of shadiness, Republican lawyers being denied access to vote-counting areas, thousands of ballots being brought in random containers in the dead of night, vote-counting areas covering windows with cardboard, and all that happened in swing states.

The problem is it's all circumstantial. It's not enough to declare the election invalid. Unfortunately all it does is undermine the public's faith in our institutions, which... come to think of it, may be a good thing.

I disagree on that last part. While skepticism is necessary and good for a healthy democracy, this system of retroactively declaring yourself the true winner will only lead to greater cultism. I would even say that this would be akin to the soccer hooligans of a team that lost, where they will act out against anyone and everyone that dared to not vote for their candidate. The fact that we are drifting toward this mindset already is shameful.

Undermining faith in government institutions is an inherent good in my opinion. It helps to undermine faith in the government more broadly.

For some reason I can't comprehend, people don't get as riled up about pays sales tax for a car, paying property tax on that car that you already paid sales tax for, paying a licensing fee(tax) for the privledge of using the car you paid sales and property tax for, on roads you're forced to drive on using your income tax, that uses the fees(taxes) of going over the speed limit,(which is arbitrarily decided by how many speeding tickets there are, the less tickets, the lower the speed limit), to support the institution that forced you to pay for the privilege of using roads you were forced to pay to build.

Sounds like fun.

The Swiss-German side of the family (3rd cousins) in central Washington would grab a huge log (usually a monster sized stump) and make it burn it from Dec 25th to Jan 5th. Some of them still do. One set of those cousins that are now in southern Idaho. Their yule log is bundled up sage-brush branches they compress into a large cylinder.

One immediate parental side of my family didn't start celebrating Christmas until the 1940s because of pressure from the film, "It's a Wonderful Life." lol. The yule log at that grandparent's place were very large jelly-rolled vanilla cakes placed end to end with chocolate frosting made to look like a log. It was eaten at new years with brandied eggnog.

The other immediate parental side didn't celebrate Christmas until the 1960s. They decided on a minimalist non-commercial Christmas. To them Congress was tricked into celebrating an un-Christian "Popish" holiday for commercial reasons 90 years previous. They decided each generation would do a one gift name draw for one gift, and the grandkids got one present each from the parents. One present is better than none when you are a kid. No yule log though.

The last four years are gonna feel like a fever dream. I've gone through such change since 2016. I started out being fairly socialist in high school, I was in diversity club and I said things like "I don't mind paying a little more in taxes if it helps society be better." I thought Republicans were racists, or at the very least, didn't see racism as a deal-breaker.

It was in that diversity club that I saw partisanship and indoctrination from faculty, I also saw these middle-class, white kids exhibiting race and class guilt that made me wildly uncomfortable. That coupled with discovering Milo and Ben put me firmly in Trump territory after graduation.

I had always considered myself somewhat libertarian, but I had such discomfort with the left that I convinced myself Trump was the most Libertarian choice, because I thought he could win, and that he was more libertarian than people gave him credit for.

After all of that, realizing Trump isn't actually all that different from Obama and Bush was a harsh realization. 90% of the bad things reported about Trump are lies and exaggerations, but the 10% that aren't are indicative of someone who isn't remotely concerned with liberty.

One good thing he did though, is that that everyone is thinking about politics. The Trump hatred campaign forced millions of Americans to pick a side. With him gone, I doubt they'll go back to being apolitical. Most Americans now have at least a casual understanding of politics, and that's good.

There are plenty of racists in both parties, however only one party takes it as gospel that race is the most important thing about you. And that your individuality can essentially be boiled down to what groups you are in.

Let alone all of the racist statements prominent Democrats have made, "super predators" from Clinton, her changing her speech to sound for southern when talking at a black church, saying she always has hot sauce in her purse. Joe Biden's "poor kids are just as smart as white kids" Ilhan Omar's comments about US support for Israel being because the US was "hypnotized" and that it was "all about the Benjamins baby" which when the house drafted a resolution to condemn anti-semitism was just watered down to anti-bigotry.

I don't see op-ed articles from prominent right wing sources suggesting votes be counted more or less based on race. Or that vaccines shouldn't be prioritized to the elderly, because they are too much of one race.

But of course that is "anti-racism"

Ilhan Omar is easily one of the most repulsive of the new members of Congress. I find even AOC to be excusable; I believe that her ideas are flawed and she likes to simplify the finer details, namely by ignoring factors that may serve to undermine her message.

I like Governor Noem's laissez-faire policies on covid. But knowing she can wield a flamethrower makes her all that more attractive. It is a bit smaller than the one we use, but attractive none-the-less.
