Did he record this before September 2021? It's an updated version of the title track of a 2022 album.

Sturgill was on a bit with Colbert on The Late Show within the past two weeks.  It ended up being him hosting a karaoke night at a bar near Thule AFB.  He sang a Space Force song he wrote with Colbert, did a Top Gun duet of You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' with Colbert and sang along to Radar Love with a Space Force officer.

There you go, the rumors of his demise have been exaggerated (though he isn't ripping stuff out like he used, I'll still take it).  This is great news and also shows how little I was paying attention to anything but the World Cup in the last month.

No he did that and another studio cover of a track for a tribute album (John Anderson) but he says he can really only do one offs at this point.

EDIT:  Here's the John Anderson cover.

That whole John Anderson tribute album is excellent. The country guy, not the Yes guy.

Is that worse than mine liking Mariah Carey?

Surely there must be a band your kid can score points with you because they hate that band?

I remember the good old days when the worst crisis a parent could face was their child attempted to use their credit card to charter a helicopter to fly across state lines to get lunch with their camp friend!

99% chance that the latter part of that statement is directly caused by the first part… B because of A.

this isn't so much a parenting issue as an issue that folks have with my parenting - but science is on my side, bitches:

My job there is done.  I'll return to SF now….

Summer Vacation:

The time of the year where our 16 year old watches King of the Hill all day, goes to the pool, goes running, goes to the gym, and trashes the kitchen daily while her parents work 9-10 hours a day. Dad, full time telework. Mom, three days home two in office.

And either because dear daughter refuses or is incapable of properly cleaning, the job falls to Dad because "after all she is just a kid" (Mom's quote, not Dad's) and "I work harder than you." (Mon's quote not Dad's.)

I expected more…

I think you should take the whole family to Courtney Barnett as a bonding experience.

I would love to see this as a sitcom

you say that, but you don't mean that
Don't get me wrong it has potential, but the walked all over dad shtick has been worn out

Shoot it like the back half of the final season of Barry.

I'm sure Julian approves.

Who doesn’t?

Would you be ok with a $50 surcharge for loud gay couples?

But gay couples aren’t annoying


In fact I kind of like them!

I never approve of half-measures.
