C*wboy C*rter + Ramy Youssef <3 + NYC Puncher + Ernie Hudson Bop Era + Google's Creative Fellowship + L.A. Corruption Check-In + Brendan Paul's March Madness + J Lo Tour Gambles + Free Dental Clinics!
As a woman who loves a little campy saloon or two or three (and, yes, also has a brass name plate on the bar at Saddle Ranch)… As a woman who blasts Jamie O’Neal during ‘Zona roadtrips, almost knocked over Wynnona Judd to get a picture with her, sobs along to Alison Krauss almost every other night, sings both parts of every Faith and Tim duet, all parts of all tracks of At Folsom Prison, and has never been drunk or brave enough to sing Martina at karaoke, I won’t be commenting on C*wboy C*rter. I also won’t be a sour hater about it either. The world is ending, if you wanna throw on some old boots and a bolo tie, and do a little do-si-do, go for it. Invite me!
Look at the growth.
I could’ve turned this opening into a rant about the cult of celebrity, and the cult of distraction, and fandom as a personality disorder, and the cult of distraction, and how all David Koresh would’ve needed was a couple of blonde tracks sewn into a Stetson for y’all to be flinging grenades right alongside him. But, I’m a changed person.
