Watching two Nashville music producers roast Kid Rock’s new song on Facebook made my day.

I'm still very passionate about country music and want to share my opinions. I don't think I'll ever lose that passion. I just don't think Bsky is the right vehicle for it anymore, so I deleted most of my posts and will post less often in general. Again, I'll still lurk and react now and then.

My most recent Good Article on Wikipedia: Corbin/Hanner. I wonder if @countryuniverse.net knows who that even is?

Two of Dolly Parton’s defining hits — “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” — were perhaps written in the same day. The songs show distinctly different facets of Parton’s music and persona: the mountains and the church, the loyal partner and the independent woman, Jon Pareles writes.

Dolly Parton’s Greatest Burst of Songwriting

Two of her defining hits — “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” — were perhaps written in the same day. In different ways, they found sturdy melodies for precarious emotions.

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

I’m purging most of my old Bsky posts because most of them are either too snarky, or me saying the same thing over and over.

Karen Brooks: "Don't say that you love me, I don't want to hear it." Me: "I love this song already." Seriously, GREAT deep cut. Love the production and vocals here. She deserved better. Texas Tornados did a great cover, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJCg...

Should I continue writing my own reviews of every #1 country hit of (insert decade here)? I have both 1990s and 2010s partially finished but I’m debating whether the 90s are too over-covered or where I would even share the results.

It's always jarring when I look at a Wikipedia article and see a citation to an old Roughstock review of mine that I don't remember even writing in the first place. God, that was so long ago. I'd love to start writing reviews again.

Mostly cutting back my presence here. I’ll still lurk but I’m not getting much out of this place anymore otherwise.

I’ve really been bitter and complaining way too long. It’s not good for my health and it’s driven away a lot of peers. I’m trying to push through as much positivity as I can until it becomes innate.

I didn’t realize how heavily negativity had been built up inside me. I’m trying to purge it all with more and more positivity.

Another advantage to Bsky: A long time ago, someone else on Twitter claimed the handle “tenpoundhammer” so I had to use a different name there. But here, I can be tenpoundhammer again.

"Past the point of rescue" is such a great song... It was originally written by Mick Hanly for Mary Black and it's great to see Hal & Mick sing it together. youtu.be/3kxOBrJQxS4?...
